Portland at the Sea

Contemporary Living Room, Portland

A BIG Transformation ON A modest BUDGET: This is the first phase of our work, which involves real deal transformation. Yes, the entry was in need of some love, along with some consolidating and simplifying. The client wanted to express her East Coast beach-y roots, and we wanted to do this without getting super theme-y. We utilized sunny yellow and yellow-greens, along with colors of the sea. We created a cozy, warm and uber-inviting sitting area. The drapes were sewn through Warehouse Fabrics, Inc., doing a fabulous job creating custom treatments (a teal linen weave with yellow brush trim), within a very tight budget. The seating was custom (Castellano Furniture of Portland); lime green chairs and a curvy sofa in yellow with that lime green welting & pillows. Also some playful Blue and yellow pillow fabric (Kravet) was the genuine inspiration for character and color scheme. The rug, by FLOR of Portland (thanks Shaina) is meant to evoke a beach blanket. Oh, and the glass jar filled with sand and sand dollars. . . well, ok, we are giving a nod to the sea.
