French-Style Decor

Her personal touch is evident the moment one steps in the door and sees the stained and stenciled staircase. A harlequin design on the walls complements her artistic touch.

The bistro-style kitchen contains marble counters, a buttery color on the walls and large-scale antique island. To bridge the marble to the cabinets, Fujimoto installed crown molding and faux painted it to resemble the countertop. The wood floor is painted with a blue and white harlequin pattern for additional texture and color. The white diamonds were sponged with the blue color to tone down the contrast.

The master bedroom is alive with color, pattern and drama with black carpet, floral rugs and layer of pillows on the bed. Dressmaker details abound with dress forms and mannequins used for decorating.

The closet doors are enhanced with ceramic knobs and gold paint on the inside edges to coordinate with other gilded elements in the space.

The downstairs bathroom was once all white from the ceiling to the floor. Fujimoto transformed the space with several coats of porch paint and greeting card and wallpaper cutouts decoupaged onto nearly every surface.
