GATHERING SPACE
The old dining room has been
transformed from a dark, uninviting
box to a beautiful entertaining space.
Placed just off the great room, the blue
walls and white trim add an elegant
contrast to the colors found there.
Leah used the soft color as a backdrop
for the dark case goods and chair rail,
which mirrors the one in the main
living area. “I am finding people are
more and more interested in adding
color to their spaces. For a while it
just felt like a scary suggestion when
I would offer it as an option, but now
there is a real willingness from my
clients to embrace color,” explains
Leah. A glass top table maintains
the room’s openness by not blocking
sight lines and sits upon a woven,
natural fiber rug. She also installed
more lighting to create a warm and
welcoming ambiance.
