Living Room

This room is the Media Room in the 2016 Junior League Shophouse. This space is intended for a family meeting space where a multi generation family could gather. The idea is that the kids could be playing video games while their grandparents are relaxing and reading the paper by the fire and their parents could be enjoying a cup of coffee while skimming their emails.

A cosmopolitan mix of European and American styles create a livable home balanced with both modern and classic styles. Stylish leather pieces, custom furniture, and jewel toned textiles complement the cherry-toned wood paneling to add warmth and history to this traditional Russian Hill home overlooking the San Francisco Bay. As an intercontinental businessman, this bachelor needed a comfortable and masculine home to relax and recharge after returning from his European travels. Custom-designed chaise upholstered in a pale watery blue is the perfect spot to enjoy the iconic vistas of Alcatraz Island and Golden Gate Bridge. In the bedroom, dramatic garnet red couture drapery softens the room and ties in the playful British flag rug.

This living room now shares a shiplap wall with the dining room above. The charcoal painted fireplace surround and mantel give a WOW first impression and warms the color scheme. The picture frame was painted to match and the hardware on the window treatments compliments the design.

A couple of young college professors from Northern California wanted a modern, energy-efficient home, which is located in Chittenden County, Vermont. The home’s design provides a natural, unobtrusive aesthetic setting to a backdrop of the Green Mountains with the low-sloped roof matching the slope of the hills. Triple-pane windows from Integrity® were chosen for their superior energy efficiency ratings, affordability and clean lines that outlined the home’s openings and fit the contemporary architecture they were looking to create. In addition, the project met or exceeded Vermont’s Energy Star requirements.

Picture sitting back in a chair reading a book to some slow jazz. You take a deep breathe and look up and this is your view. As you walk up with the matches you notice the plated wall with contemporary art lighted for your enjoyment. You light the fire with your knee pressed against a blue-toned marble. Then you slowly walk back to your chair over a dark Harwood floor. This is your Reading Room.
