Problem:

This residence had an unfortunate kitchen fire that polluted the contents of the entire house. Every rug, pillow, piece of bedding, etc. had to be dry cleaned or thrown away, and everything else had to be manually washed. This was a major undertaking since Johanna is a huge collector.

Solution:

Reclaiming the living room was our initial goal. This large space had been overrun with objects from other areas, and items coming back from the cleaners. Finding a home for all of these things was the first step. Then we rearranged the furnishings – some were switched with pieces from other rooms – to create a comfortable and attractive space. We have since consulted on paint colors, and that will be the next step for this home.
