Living Room

In the formal living room, the tile on the fireplace was the starting point. "I think it’s important to highlight things that are original to a house. The blue tile became the inspiration for the entire room,” Beth says. Holly found a matching blue fabric for two tufted wing chairs that flank the fireplace (one chair is moved to make room for the Christmas tree). The painting over the fireplace is a contemporary statement in an otherwise traditional space. The colors in the painting are repeated throughout the house.
