To update the space, Heather says, "From the pictures of the foyer and the other furniture I can see in the other rooms, I shopped for more traditional furnishings. The columns, the curve of the staircase, the art niches, these are all such traditional elements that I didn't want to get too quirky. The color scheme I chose is teal/seafoam and variations on the taupe color of the walls already there."
