Winnetka, IL residential makeover
A PATCHWORK QUILT, Winnetka, IL
Three young boys, a large dog and their parents are the inhabitants of this colorful house. Furnishings and materials were selected/designed with playfulness, practicality and comfort as priorities. The custom game table (see additional photos) was inspired by children's toys. Chairs around the game table are clad in washable suede, easy to clean up after spills and accidents. A leather sectional comfortably seats the whole family for television, video games, reading and snuggling. Because the room is flooded with natural light during the day, concealed shades allow for glare-free TV watching. At night, when the windows become black mirrors, the roman shades drop down to enclose the cozy space in softness and warmth. The colorful quilts of Gee's Bend inspired my design of the custom carpet.
A child's ring-toss game was the inspiration for the custom game table.
