This small extension to the
kitchen was originally designed as a nook. Since the kitchen counter
provided an eating space we decided to dress this space as a small version
of a family room. We combined a comfy loveseat with a modern chair. The wicker bench toped with an oversized tray
performs double duty as a couch table. To
the left we added an antique children's rocking chair to give some visual
interest and to complete the ensemble. Below as a comparison the empty room.

| This family room lacks natural
light. The only source of natural lighting is the sliding doors to the patio. We
added small accent lighting to create a cozy atmosphere. The sofa and the
chair are angled in the room to give a more floating feeling. We added the
same high chairs we use in the dining room on the breakfast counter for
additional seating. Outside of this picture to the right we added a large
wall mirror to reflect the natural light. |

The antique sofa reflects the
historic qualities of the property and provide the perfect context to the
1920's bungalow architecture. The opium table with the Asian accents
create a stylish transition and eclectic feel.

The soft shade of green in the
contemporary seating goes well with the backdrop of bamboo outside the
window. The dark wood of the nesting tables is mirrored in the legs of the
upholstered pieces. Green, tan, and rich wood tones are the three
strongest components in the room. The furniture is placed away from the
walls to leave a spacious impression. The rug anchors the grouping in the
room and gives a repetition of greens and natural tones. On the console
table we added a vase with some greens found in the yard. |

This triangular room provided many challenges. The
angled walls and the column in the middle of the room made it difficult
for buyers to imagine furniture placement in this space.
We solved the issue by using small scale loveseats and
accent tables that now float around the column, which does not appear as
an obstacle. A separate seating area in the background shows off this
versatile space. We accommodated a desk in the very left corner (outside
of this picture) so none of the bedrooms needed to be purposed as an
office. |

The antique occasional chair faces the windows. This
makes use of an otherwise wasted space in the triangular room.
