BRONXVILLE RESIDENCE: SUNROOM AFTER

Click Image to Enlarge!

The solution? Let's keep this room light & bright, continue the sunny, garden room theme, but position the periwinkle floral chairs out of the direct view from the living room. I already knew that my client wanted a game table in this room as well...so this is what we did...

First, we had to lay down a sisal-type rug both for warmth & to cover up all those slate colors...which included a slatey-plum by the way. I then picked out a wrought iron outdoor style table & had it custom finished to a slate tone that worked perfectly to pick up the little bit of flooring that peeked out from the rug. I teamed the table up with 2 parson chairs with pale sage slipcovers so that they could either play games or have breakfast & tea in this room.

Then I designed a very large custom round ottoman from scratch & outfitted it with a slipcover in creamy white with a pale sage banding on the bottom edge. This is perfect for when my client's are sitting in those cute chairs, reading the paper & need something for their feet. It is also nice & large so if they wanted to set a tray with goodies on it, they could do that as well.

I chose wall decor to further the garden theme with some simple fern studies. Again the idea was to have a simple room that did not compete with the living room. And my favorite last touch, is the etched Hundi Lantern that has a fern pattern. I LOVE this little accent as it furthers the indoor/outdoor feel for this room. While probably the smallest room in this house, it is also my absolute favorite!
