Room to Grow

Lovely and Luminous

The Scott brothers took advantage of the large window in this room by sticking to neutral wall and furniture hues that help reflect the natural light.

Who Needs Walls?

The Scott brothers strategically placed the furniture to create distinct separations between rooms, but the lack of walls makes the space feel comfortably open and spacious.

Pretty Pattern

While the furniture and walls stick to natural hues, Jonathan and Drew jazzed up the decor with bold, vibrant patterned pillows. This blue-and-white pattern is reminiscent of the famous Willow china pattern.

Dining Room, After

After the Scott brothers stepped in, the dining room was transformed into a chic, modern meets industrial space. Plus, by swapping the single window with a set of french doors, the dark wood is balanced by ample light.

Hot and Cold

The bench seat adds yet another unique industrial detail to the room — not to mention the extra seating for family and friends. And the white, faux fur covers softens the overall look.
