The “Rumba Pencils” animation cell was drawn by my dad for the Sesame Street short he directed in 1974. (That’s him in the photo on the shelf below with the half-shriveled Mickey balloon!)

Versa Style DesignThe clients wanted to brighten up the palette and add light while respecting the Craftsman style woodwork and the classic character of the home. They also expressed a desire for eclectic blended with traditional styling. They also desired warm burnished metals in the lighting, furniture and accessories. The first thing we did was change out the deep burgundy wallpaper for a light-reflecting coat of fresh paint.
Careful consideration was given to conserve a good portion of the woodwork in its existing dark stain, but we also balanced and brightened the palette by whitening the fireplace surround, the ceiling and its crown moulding as well as the built-in shelves. The outer framing of the shelves was painted in a cheerful yet calming blue, and the same blue was repeated in the curtains, accessories, and the rugs. We assisted the clients in all material selections, finishes, furniture, colours, and we designed the custom curtains and cushions. The entire living space is now bright, inviting, and still classic.
