ARLINGTON
Most of the paintings in this home were painted by the homeowner herself. With just the right frames and positions on the wall, we turned her new home into a gallery. We converted the screened porch into a full-time painting studio and hang out spot. We cut the large living area into two spaces, creating a more intimate lounge, as well as a family room perfect for movies, reading novels, and rolling around on the floor with the cat. The large dining table and funky mismatched chairs inspire dinner parties and sleepovers for the homeowner's two daughters. The collage in the kitchen makes breakfasters feel like they are at their own personal diner surrounded by happy memories.
