HOME DECOR: GOING COASTAL

HOME DECOR: A little contemporary, a little traditional

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">My first view of Char's home was a space that had already been taken down to the bare walls</span>. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Actually, a lot of the walls had been removed as well. And that is where she was stuck. </div><div style="text-align: center;">She felt overwhelmed by the job at hand and was unable to make a decision as to flooring, paint, cabinetry or tile. She had already hired a contractor and they were anxious to get to work. </div><div style="text-align: center;">So we rolled up our sleeves and went to work. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Some of the photos turned out a little dark, but if you click on them, you can see them larger, </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><br /><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" height="424" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347883846560638754" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBcbZXtlc0MdNT_RD2H3RNCMsorp42EbxcsTUfNnSQJ7rzGC0tqp65-4R3FvGWR63y3V6v1AhSoYanYDq56PCwc0-isxZ1yY2JGCGTrZLX12tsyRhNMcu5N8tho8di_MzfguheTJ_UpPo/s640/01jurkdisk%231+024+%282%29.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /></td></tr><br /><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><em>Living Room Before</em></td></tr><br /></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;">and I hope a little brighter... :) This was my first view of Char's home. My challenge was to find her 'style' in this! I soon discovered she like clean lines, minimal accessories and sunshine pouring in the windows. Char was drawn to water colors.  Blues, blue greens, sand, cream and chocolate were the colors that spoke to her. Char and her husband were water people. They loved to sail and to be out on the water. </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><br /><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOVDbT9XADbeWaIm42nBsaAoaESfnYKSneQf6VAoOIBki3nclNxFngJszxRb6Ms670kJgpk2NLbvRaUsJpZ6WezgW13_q8neCpcpbS3Y4a9QRZ19KjZuTF76wEn182vRA6ZlU2K4b3VBs/s1600-h/02jurkIMG_3239.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" border="0" height="322" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347883838492580610" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOVDbT9XADbeWaIm42nBsaAoaESfnYKSneQf6VAoOIBki3nclNxFngJszxRb6Ms670kJgpk2NLbvRaUsJpZ6WezgW13_q8neCpcpbS3Y4a9QRZ19KjZuTF76wEn182vRA6ZlU2K4b3VBs/s640/02jurkIMG_3239.JPG" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /></a></td></tr><br /><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><em>Living Room After</em></td></tr><br /></tbody></table> <div style="text-align: center;">With walls in a neutral shade of beige and an accent wall in a blue-green shade, the living room took shape.

The built in window seat matched the wood trim and held the flat screen components. </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><br /><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgng_OqwKfOMVDDdgezDqVZplEfWspx-a3B7LEimOZIp5RWLLjnLJUO2E1MDrnKKhNW9HaobSLQfUVgccHh4vhvmenx0_-vFpPL5HRVq_MYc3SR65qLMjyeiYp3mnZXvA-n2HNJ8rsZEVI/s1600-h/01jurkIMG_3247.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" border="0" height="376" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347883833036794658" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgng_OqwKfOMVDDdgezDqVZplEfWspx-a3B7LEimOZIp5RWLLjnLJUO2E1MDrnKKhNW9HaobSLQfUVgccHh4vhvmenx0_-vFpPL5HRVq_MYc3SR65qLMjyeiYp3mnZXvA-n2HNJ8rsZEVI/s640/01jurkIMG_3247.JPG" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /></a></td></tr><br /><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><em>Living Room After</em></td></tr><br /></tbody></table> <div style="text-align: center;">A neutral rug in beige and brown tones defined the seating area.

Keeping the wood tones similar and the flooring and wall color the same throughout the space unified and pulled it together. </div> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><br /><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK-KUJ6srYE_yd1rq2_Ial1t4e4qnpTiY5CzSh3w1m83QGeG_mUxdaGWYu7mOA7OFVuAYEGxHfkuTdKoruuhKYoz07Ugrj10lDaII6yOfeNYM9AuECvWRSzgpYYZefmCkqO7quszA3BDI/s1600-h/02jurkdisk%231+026.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" border="0" height="461" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347883271229907682" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK-KUJ6srYE_yd1rq2_Ial1t4e4qnpTiY5CzSh3w1m83QGeG_mUxdaGWYu7mOA7OFVuAYEGxHfkuTdKoruuhKYoz07Ugrj10lDaII6yOfeNYM9AuECvWRSzgpYYZefmCkqO7quszA3BDI/s640/02jurkdisk%231+026.jpg" style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" width="640" /></a></td></tr><br /><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><em>Dining and Kitchen Before</em></td></tr><br /></tbody></table> <div style="text-align: center;">All the windows and sliding glass doors were replaced with new energy efficient vinyl.
