When Lony and Margie Ruhmann went shopping for their first home, they were captivated by the character and charm of a 1915 cottage-style Craftsman located in a neighborhood of historically preserved residences. They moved in with their two dogs just over a year ago and furnished the house with a mix of leftover furniture. Now that they've settled in, they're ready to refurnish and redecorate, and say they could use some professional help with their long, narrow segmented living room and falling-apart fireplace.After meeting with all of the designers, the Ruhmanns choose Maxine White to redo their living space. When she is finished, old, mismatched furniture has been replaced with stylish custom pieces arranged so that all the areas of the room flow together, inviting conversation and comfort. The seven-foot sofa anchors the conversation area, and two occasional chairs swivel to face the fireplace or the television in the new armoire. An ottoman on casters sits on a neutral area rug and can be conveniently split into two footstools, and a Venetian plaster wall treatment warms the room with a soft glow. What a transformation!
