Just over a year ago, Robin and Kevin McGrath along with their two children moved into a home in Sandy Springs, GA, a suburb of Atlanta. With 4,000 square feet, the four-bedroom traditional European house is much larger than their previous home, and the couple has been busy furnishing the rooms to suit their needs and taste. However, when it comes to the great room and adjacent dining area, the McGraths are unsure of what to do. With a budget of $40,000, the McGraths want the designers to come up with a room that is functional and child friendly, but at the same time, elegant and sophisticated.
