This busy family with four children, a dog and parents with demanding careers was looking to update their space while providing more calm, function and durability for their lively life and children.  With new furnishings, accessories, “robust” fabrics and materials used, we created spaces for both family time and adult retreats.  The ottoman was designed as a personalized family center piece for the living area functioning as a place for blanket storage, a table and a foot rest.  When all was finished the husband remarked, “This was some of the best money we’ve spent.”  Some beauty and peace was added to this lively family’s life!
