This home is located on the waterfront close to the lively downtown area of Kirkland in a building that houses the client’s offices as well as his extensive car collection. The building and the living spaces were very well designed and quite pristine. Our task was to furnish and soften the rooms so that they were more functional for entertaining and more livable for our client, his family and his friends. Starting with the main living room, our client found that people did not care to sit in the large L-shaped sofa, as it was too soft and deep. We replaced it with a custom made sofa and matching bench of a more ergonomic scale that also allows more space for mingling when there is a crowd. Two classic leather Eames chairs were added to the group seating and arranged to allow easy TV viewing for when the “crowd” is only one or two. We worked extensively to light and install a new collection of art glass as well as display a well-loved collection of model cars and vintage memorabilia to its best advantage. The colorful dining room chandelier was relocated over the new pool table, which added to the fun atmosphere of the “playroom” downstairs. Throughout this home new furniture, lighting, bedding, accessories and quality artwork were added with warmer colors and textures to enhance the existing spaces and express the client’s individual character.
