traditional farmhouse for today
n the Great room, the main focal point are the fireplace and the window. To provide a balance in the room, we selected an oversized sofa for the room and covered it in a Ralph Lauren plaid cashmere fabric. As the family has small children, we chose an oversized ottoman covered in a leather, over a coffee table. There are no sharp edges for a child to hurt themselves on and they climb all over it. On either side of fireplace are a pair of windows and we flanked them with a pair of side panels in a gold chenille fabric, under which we placed a pair of toy chests painted and distressed to work with the room. The most important element when designing a room is providing as much storage as possible. Now the children can also play in this beautiful room and their toys have a home.
