Stripe It Rich

Theresa and Joe Remacle of Altoona wanted a face lift for their living room.  It started with a request for new paint and window treatment.  After a visit to look at the room, I thought the paint color was nice; the line just needed cleaned up a bit where it met the ceiling.  I took that opportunity to bring in some additional color that was present in adjacent rooms.  Their beloved dogs had damaged the cushions of the furniture a bit, so I suggested I make slipcovers to match the fabric of the drapes.  A stripe made its way around the room and continued on the drapes, which open and close fully.  Coordinating pillows unified the whole scheme.  A few pieces of furniture were rearranged slightly and a new piece made its way into the room, a shelf unit made from repurposed drawers.  New rugs for the entryway and a new lamp took their place in the room as well. 

The before pics.  A nicely decorated room, that just benefited from some fresh paint and fabrics.

A beautiful furniture piece and mirror, previously in a corner, now takes center stage on the impression wall in the living room.

The stripe that begins on the drape, travels around the whole room.

The existing furniture arrangement and pictures stay in place on this wall.  A new lamp and pillows change the whole look!

A "new" shelf unit made from repurposed desk drawers, painted out in the colors of the room, lined with colorful papers and adorned with quirky, mismatched knobs.  Some coordinating storage boxes and a few new accessories compliment the accessories that were already in the room.
