Project Details: Living Room

This is a sad story with a very happy ending.  These homeowners returned home from a trip to find a pipe had burst in an upstairs bathroom and completely flooded their living and family rooms.  It was devastating to see this beautiful old home with high ceilings, original detailed mouldings and great ocean views destroyed by water damage.  

The rooms had to be gutted down to the studs and almost all of the furniture thrown away.  Luckily, a good contractor was able to save many of the original mouldings and details, including 8' pocket doors that open to the adjacent family room.  

During the construction the homeowners went all out and updated small, sliding doors with French doors and classic double hung windows with a cottage sash.  We decorated the space with beige, white and pops of blue in a large scale pattern that ties in beautifully with their antique blue sideboard.

The result is a very light and airy space with a great focus on the views.  The moral of the story - make sure you have good insurance (and a good designer!).
