I have been doing some fun design work with a variety of clients but not taking the time to post about it here—the balance of life…am I right?!?

These clients are slowly working through their South Hill Craftsman and making it work better for them and their large, ever-evolving family. As one son left for college, the debate over bedroom use began. Ultimately the decision was made to make it a full-time office with a trundle-bed for when the older kids come home.

The client wanted something cozy with saturated color, woods and leather. His office was located below the porch and now it is above the porch—so he has a big, beautiful window with a lovely view of Spokane. On one of his first days using the new space, a colleague asked him if he was working from a posh hotel room (a corner of the bed was showing in the screen background) and Scott could happily answer ‘No, this is my new office.’

There are clients that recognize the value of hiring someone to do something for them that is outside their skill set. They listen to what you recommend and trust you to do the job. They are a joy to work with and honestly the finished product (design) comes out so much better because they don’t pick and choose what guidance to follow.

This beautiful living room belongs to some of those clients. They are ready to make the space intentional—less utilitarian and more divine. When they purchased their craftsman-style bungalow that nestles into the South Hill, it was staged with two Chesterfield chairs and that vision has stayed in my client’s heart for years. So that is where we started.

Slide two was our first effort, in combination with an adjacent tv lounge area. The lounge came together quickly and is a family favorite, but the beloved chairs went out of stock before they could be ordered and left us with time to consider other options.

As we discussed different directions to go, they kept coming back to wanting MORE COLOR. I fortuitously found a new source for the Chesterfields that fit within their budget and traded the beige for a beautiful rusty red. What do you think? Do you like one more than the other?
