Chris M gets a makeover
Maria Bortugno, B Designs
When I first met Chris, she walked me through her lovely home frustrated by the task at hand and the unfinished, uncohesive, disjointed spaces. Everything was beige, spread about in odd configurations and lacked any personality. "Chris" a pretty blue eyed blonde, was nowhere present. I liked the lined of the furniture and after discussing Chrus favorite colors needs and wants, we decided to reupholster the formerly "all beige" furniture in bluer and whites and add drapes to coordinate. As with many families, wear and tear is a concern. Chris with three kids a hubby and Doodle name Maddie, was no exception. We chose fabrics that looked pretty, had a soft hand but would stand up to Kool Aid and muddy paws. The blue and white area rug, is polypropylene and relatively indestructible, yet soft to the touch. We rearranged the furniture, opening up the space to the adjoining Dining room for flow and added Full length drapery to the exhiisting shutters for warmth and charm. As you can see, the end result is a cheerful, playful mix of color and texture.
