HALLWAY
The neon sign in the hallway is a play on words as the hallway features a collection of photographs in chronological order from when the owners first met to present day.
FAMILY ROOM
The common thread throughout are the use of geometric patterns, bold pops of colour, and the colour black – it's accented everywhere – on ceilings, in art work, area rugs, tiles, and paint.
The black and white piece of art over the fireplace is by Linda Colletta (she's one of the owner's favorite artists and worked with her on painting the piece with this location in mind).
The Roli Poli chair by Driade is from 2 Modern
The sectional sofa is from BoConcept
Behind the sofa is a family space, with a hanging chair and kids' arts & crafts corner.
