Lively Escape from Every Day
A bold geometric rug sets the tone for this room. The sofa in muted gold chenille complements squares of crimson, gold, persimmon, and plum and chairs in a light hearted polka dot of similar colors. The white satin built in houses collectibles, a television, and full computer station. A pair of ottomans on castors provides flexible seating. The oval coffee table with glass top anchors the grouping. Lamps of cast resin with parchment shades glow softly. Dramatic contemporary abstract art enlivens the room.

Rave Review:
"We have been thrilled with the transformation from an unfinished basement to a complete living level. Melissa was in on this from the get go and really made it a place we look forward to escaping to at the end of the day. She delivered exactly what we wanted with a movie room we use almost daily, a guest room perfect for visiting family, a guest bath unlike any other, a super family room where our kids can play with their friends and do homework, a bar area for parties, and the wine tasting room, busy almost every night! Since it's completion we have had friends and neighbors by almost every night, no one wants to leave, it is so comfortable."
