A family with three young children moved into a new home and required all new furnishings that were beautiful and yet functional for high-traffic family get-togethers. We were hired to take on the more formal portions of the home – the living room, dining room, and game room.

Although the dining room was long and narrow, the clients wanted to preserve the existing walls. Normally-sized dining tables were too wide, but this gave us the opportunity to design a custom walnut table with steel cabriole legs, made by local artisan furniture maker Brian Chilton, that fit just right. One of our favorite parts of this entire room is the wallpaper with its subtle curves that are reflected in the custom table and the custom-made mirror.

In the living room we sourced high end furnishings and mixed in some vintage pieces to help us achieve the layered look the client desired. We commissioned Elizabeth Schwager, a local artist, to create a work that cemented the client’s colorful traditional style. Further, this room’s length allowed us to zone out and anchor an extra space devoted to playing card and board games.

We were excited to see Austin HOME publish this beautiful project.
