Elegant Seaside Living Room

Double Take : Episode HTAKE-209 -- More Projects »

Before: Facelift Wanted
Homeowners Cristina and James Dyer just moved into a new house. They've decorated most of it, but they are stumped when it comes to their living room (pictured, right). They're ready to change to a more dramatic, sophisticated look based on a design they found. It is an aqua-inspired room that combines nature with the colors of the sea. The only problem is that the $35,000 price doesn't float their boat.

The Inspiration Room
Designed by Roger Stoker, this serene room was inspired by the ocean and colors in nature. The blue on the walls makes for a tranquil setting, while the white adds a touch of elegance and sparkle. The room is a perfect blend of mid-century modern furnishings with natural elements — beach-glass chandelier, shell boxes and coral motifs in the artwork and pillows.

The Double Take team — makeover designer Michele Addey, budget shopper Halili Knox, and carpenter Jamie Schmitt — pool their artistic expertise to re-create this seaside-inspired space for less than $3,000.

Please contact designer Roger Stoker for Inspiration Room resources.
