Entertaining Adults

This compact space is delineated by columns and half-walls, and so must be attractive from every angle. Originally intended to be a dining room, the clients had wisely decided to designate it as a living room. Whereas it had been previously used as the kids' playroom, now that they were older we re-purposed it as a quiet space for reading and study. The most coveted seat in the house -- a wide, pillow-bedecked daybed -- fits exactly into a pre-existing niche. We cozied it up even more with the warm chocolatey background and added some sparkle with a starburst mirror.
