Blending comfortable furnishings and interesting wall art, Caroline deVlaming made the most of her small living room overlooking Bull Street.
Before
DeVlaming, in her smartly designed breakfast nook, carved out of a space formerly occupied by a guest closet.
The intimate dining space off the kitchen was treated to rich red wallpaper and a crystal chandelier. A large arched mirror over the buffet gives the illusion of additional space.
Before
Working within the narrow parameters of her galley kitchen, deVlaming traded in underutilized wall space for additional storage. Formica countertops and white plywood cabinetry were replaced with pale marble surfaces and Kraftmaid cupboards.
Before
Relying on a rich palette of golden yellow, deep reds, and a soft green, deVlaming created a well-balanced backdrop for her living room
Personal Space
The bathroom underwent considerable alterations, among them replacement of aged subway tiles with white beadboard along the lower half of the walls.
