Living Room

In the developer's original plans the living room in this large suburban home was chopped into two small rooms. A floorplan tweak results in one larger, formal entertaining space scaled to the size of this home. Sarah Richardson and design sidekick Tommy Smythe create two distinct seating areas that seamlessly mix new and vintage furniture, while tipping their hat to a focal fireplace. It's all placed against a fresh and bright paint scheme.
