We were also honored to receive second place in the Family Room category of this year’s Dream Room competition.

Our client had recently relocated from Hawaii and arrived with no furniture into a completely empty space. They wanted a modern, comfortable family room with the fireplace being the focal point, performance fabric for their children and two small dogs, and for the color scheme to be neutral, black, and mustard in every room on their first level.
