"We needed the room to reflect who we are and to feel like 'us.' A space that would match the energy of her, her husband, and two sons was 'bold, cozy, inviting, warm, curated, and comfortable.'"
"The room was painted a two-tone green color. The top half of the walls was a light green color, and the bottom half with beadboard wainscoting was a darker shade of green."
"Even though the room 'felt old and dated,' she did love the cherry wood curio cabinet, dining table, and velvet chairs the owner left."
"We decided to keep [them] and incorporate the new, updated style. For instance, she swapped the more traditional rug with a modern abstract one from Ruggable."
Bold colors and patterns are recommended for smaller spaces such as powder rooms and entryways, as they create a striking impact without overwhelming. Dining rooms also benefit from bold decor, especially for special occasions.

She replaced traditional elements with modern pieces, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere that resonates with her family's identity and energy.
