Hey ya’ll!!! I’ve been working with two wonderful ladies to create a more livable space in their Philadelphia city town home. They have been challenged with a tight (tight tights kind of tight) living space cut in two by the stairs to the second floor. My job is to create flow and continuity between these two spaces and to make sure that they are working hard to satisfy multiple functions.
Their home is SUPER CUTE and has a few great, albeit quirky, architectural elements to work with. These two girly-girls have great taste and picked the two images above as their inspiration. They love the patterns, bright spaces, and pops of color in both. I couldn’t agree more!
Sooooooo….here are my plans!
First is the existing plan in which the living room space is extremely small and the dining room is extremely spacious. The front door opens up right into the seating area so everyone is trying to get past the TV to get inside. So what did I do?
I swapped the living room and dining room to create a sense of entry as well as a more roomy seating and entertaining area. The new layout in the front room will act as an entry foyer, with bench and storage case, as well as a dining room, game room, office space, etc. The living room is a TV room and social seating area. It also has a desk for a laptop or a surface to grab a quick bite by the window to the kitchen. Below the desk are two leather stools which can be pulled out when extra seating is needed. Big changes are on the horizon ladies!!!! I’ll be posting the mood boards for the two spaces shortly.
