The homeowners visited <a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/">Bassett,</a> and we set up a time for me to come see the space. With young grandchildren often in the house, they wanted to create a warm and cozy room that was child friendly, yet comfortably inviting for adults. All existing pieces could go with the exception of the bar which at the time was front and center next to the fireplace.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglwmpilAaZ2D8i930-EJydWbJKXsZAoQvXh2-9hpPC1FX4YrA8s9DxKTbVAdBUXXyiSWzai-oVRju8D8RML27X9iRyqdZy4YhVZ-Fkquq0VbYAib1J_tBmWzWfZ44vJUgqRAGCtyYkvNGd/s1600/alex+living+room+floor+plan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglwmpilAaZ2D8i930-EJydWbJKXsZAoQvXh2-9hpPC1FX4YrA8s9DxKTbVAdBUXXyiSWzai-oVRju8D8RML27X9iRyqdZy4YhVZ-Fkquq0VbYAib1J_tBmWzWfZ44vJUgqRAGCtyYkvNGd/s1600/alex+living+room+floor+plan.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">During our makeover visit, I measured the perimeter of the room along with pieces that would be staying. Back in the Bassett design studio, I put together this floor plan which made it clear that the bar could easily be moved behind the sectional, creating a more family oriented focal point that combined television and fireplace together on one side (before the television was where the bar is now). The high bar seats can now also easily turn to view the TV and serve as additional seating when family and friends are over for the game. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfpuyLjVPGwEKCD64wDFnWIoNQJQq98SF1CxRov4tAK3iY2ZCvdas6aka1uW2fyr4GGsOizWFIs1E5m6RQwScp_4LETOb3rChbQ_k5ogWkGIU9gfnfvlvW9wHJMFnFh_ay4uR_k5z4xy4/s1600/alex+living+room+makeover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpfpuyLjVPGwEKCD64wDFnWIoNQJQq98SF1CxRov4tAK3iY2ZCvdas6aka1uW2fyr4GGsOizWFIs1E5m6RQwScp_4LETOb3rChbQ_k5ogWkGIU9gfnfvlvW9wHJMFnFh_ay4uR_k5z4xy4/s1600/alex+living+room+makeover.jpg" width="480" /></a><br /><i><a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/Alex%EF%BF%BDL-Shaped-Sectional-DZ28668.asp">Alex Sectional with Custom Storage Ottoman</a></i><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">We selected a new chaise sectional in a soft charcoal colored fabric which now offers plenty of seating while also being a nice spot for reading (or napping). The pair of existing ivory chairs were eliminated from the pathway between the doorways and were replaced with a fun, large scale rustic sideboard that is highlighted with an appropriately scaled colorful piece of <a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/Waves-of-Mercy--giclee-wall-art-d%EF%BF%BDcor--DZ30915.asp">abstract art</a> (also from Bassett). Sherwin Williams Sedate Gray on the walls softens the high ceiling lines, keeping the focus on the room below. On the gleaming hardwood floors we added a luxurious viscose carpet that both looks beautiful and feels great under bare feet.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh76Svdd3jfzjbRmFDAuybvuSZ-IYhSMjouDA_-Sd3qXV7NqgMPhwVxmP2D2p3-riWo_ju3FJ4aL53KjbIVcifDuFh3BprX19FfweYyglKVXAE2DvKLQWr6LjrBsJaPDyqOAPeRrGAwZPd3/s1600/kerala+buffet+Bassett.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh76Svdd3jfzjbRmFDAuybvuSZ-IYhSMjouDA_-Sd3qXV7NqgMPhwVxmP2D2p3-riWo_ju3FJ4aL53KjbIVcifDuFh3BprX19FfweYyglKVXAE2DvKLQWr6LjrBsJaPDyqOAPeRrGAwZPd3/s1600/kerala+buffet+Bassett.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/Light-Wood-Buffett-4-Doors-4-Drawers-DZ27820.asp">Discoveries Kerala Buffet</a></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br /></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0KJzXfg0VannhdG18DLxJ8wPHMADW-8Mkj_CfRyAWHLcazA_DGNkx5q7H9u2NgF4Fop2KIeQxLlUzmxgFFjJ7EUd8NjsTra_vAbM92wFeJ2BYv8k78NRyQOAZyHmETOP9wuSTUeoahams/s1600/rexford+mist+carpet+Bassett.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0KJzXfg0VannhdG18DLxJ8wPHMADW-8Mkj_CfRyAWHLcazA_DGNkx5q7H9u2NgF4Fop2KIeQxLlUzmxgFFjJ7EUd8NjsTra_vAbM92wFeJ2BYv8k78NRyQOAZyHmETOP9wuSTUeoahams/s1600/rexford+mist+carpet+Bassett.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><i><a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/Rexford-Mist-wool-rug--DZ31721.asp">Rexford Mist Carpet</a></i><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXKxlN-BYIcl2MGE6w9U4iWMBAsmHg5pK7nMMuZR8YJHeV6_4XfmKEYrBtV3G5NwcQF0ee_Eoi0kZcx5s8HwA3m_bwHwB_sI7Kktaw9Mkxd9x4lw-ETFraeW8wKb-VDc7wso7XGOcnLWJS/s1600/sherwin+williams+sedate+gray.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXKxlN-BYIcl2MGE6w9U4iWMBAsmHg5pK7nMMuZR8YJHeV6_4XfmKEYrBtV3G5NwcQF0ee_Eoi0kZcx5s8HwA3m_bwHwB_sI7Kktaw9Mkxd9x4lw-ETFraeW8wKb-VDc7wso7XGOcnLWJS/s1600/sherwin+williams+sedate+gray.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><i><a href="http://www.sherwin-williams.com/homeowners/color/find-and-explore-colors/paint-colors-by-family/SW6169/">Sherwin Williams Sedate Gray SW6169</a></i><br /><div><i><br /></i></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho7fuiN4YUuG-EMb1gT9FyFD5exw3xEyf1YvfcnFImw53bVbv8tvqP11vpIBgC3gsgVkbsSzxU8u2wKctL11EYAi0mAIChgXs2Rv-GdLmn_AxptleHgor1r7SDvjHNSo4b638_OesDewxe/s1600/bishop+chair.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho7fuiN4YUuG-EMb1gT9FyFD5exw3xEyf1YvfcnFImw53bVbv8tvqP11vpIBgC3gsgVkbsSzxU8u2wKctL11EYAi0mAIChgXs2Rv-GdLmn_AxptleHgor1r7SDvjHNSo4b638_OesDewxe/s1600/bishop+chair.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorite pieces that I recommended for this room makeover is the <a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/Fabric-Tuxedo-Arm-Swivel-Chair-for-Living-Room-and-Office-DZ12775.asp">Bishop Swivel Chair</a> which we upholstered in a small scale, pewter colored print pattern.

An over-dyed Persian style carpet, a Robert Allen watercolor-like fabric, and an abstract knife gel giclee combine for a rich and colorful palette. The large scale upholstered bed adds visual balance to the space by remaining neutral in color.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Often times I am working with clients who want to incorporate a much loved piece, like a vintage chair, into their plans for a renovated room. The key is to make all the pieces, old and new, look as if they are speaking the same language. Repeating the shape of a leg, duplicating the finish color, or choosing pieces that seem to be from a similar time period, helps to bridge the gap from the past to the present. Including a modern twist, like these deeply saturated colors, keeps the space looking fresh.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you are looking to add some lively pieces with vintage patina to your newly designed spaces, check out the <a href="https://www.chairish.com/collection/decorative-objects">decorative objects</a> that are also available via the Chairish site ... </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkxgnyk_fB_GLA0b_hd55_1sW4yf75q9vjtn5JjfCBKptPslmq16sMkLjSKKyMvbodiqCDbIie1WNEFtB4El792ubEfAvtLM6oyG28BZthudRUmXEsV3_MtQbAQMwpekoRwhBiTomd2C7/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.36.08+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="227" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTkxgnyk_fB_GLA0b_hd55_1sW4yf75q9vjtn5JjfCBKptPslmq16sMkLjSKKyMvbodiqCDbIie1WNEFtB4El792ubEfAvtLM6oyG28BZthudRUmXEsV3_MtQbAQMwpekoRwhBiTomd2C7/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.36.08+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">  </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/40918/vintage-fretwork-green-wooden-tray">Vintage Fretwork Green Wooden Tray</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5zIuKH5PvcUo9N6_NuQD9IriszCQafGtan2-_6N9PorFy4WUOdFwLv2IIO80dcrPotcbwBceujZuZCRHaYwYqqaXpB63p1uYJQ_j8F3kNgnylcX3dy0lEvYHodnGPsY4ZU724J-Jym31/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.49.35+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL5zIuKH5PvcUo9N6_NuQD9IriszCQafGtan2-_6N9PorFy4WUOdFwLv2IIO80dcrPotcbwBceujZuZCRHaYwYqqaXpB63p1uYJQ_j8F3kNgnylcX3dy0lEvYHodnGPsY4ZU724J-Jym31/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+10.49.35+PM.png" width="161" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/41064/mercury-glass-candlestick">Mercury Glass Candlestick</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2PCa9pNLFKPaTWn_SY6cxBL-1NK_8rKs1s3n_cFujb0f_L2xNo9qgMvzVRzxySOHFtr42YP7icNy0xx0wwIqNaBNiB_UGxxPcaNQqJ0xgUEs2MbOyblURv3qSb2qwjDC6tENb2tdqtbTR/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+11.06.46+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="157" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2PCa9pNLFKPaTWn_SY6cxBL-1NK_8rKs1s3n_cFujb0f_L2xNo9qgMvzVRzxySOHFtr42YP7icNy0xx0wwIqNaBNiB_UGxxPcaNQqJ0xgUEs2MbOyblURv3qSb2qwjDC6tENb2tdqtbTR/s1600/Screen+shot+2014-09-29+at+11.06.46+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.chairish.com/product/42639/bone-china-white-swans">Bone China White Swans</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>

Seasoned artists from the <a href="http://lynnfield.patch.com/topics/lynnfield+art+guild">Lynnfield Art Guild</a> along with talented students from the Lynnfield Middle and High Schools were asked to submit their works of art to be interpreted with flowers. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHpxW5tocnr5eQGdLC5auB1rgTAIO9IBGEhQJHiaMep9Vd7bBwvGyqSQbBYwDgWvKWtq5mpSkwszxAFS4JueoTVCEOS9mPrScC0HNWKxBT4kz5a9-9smH-vpBh5E9RFAOWVsTvnlKf18Q3/s1600/SoaringColors_AlisonCouncil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHpxW5tocnr5eQGdLC5auB1rgTAIO9IBGEhQJHiaMep9Vd7bBwvGyqSQbBYwDgWvKWtq5mpSkwszxAFS4JueoTVCEOS9mPrScC0HNWKxBT4kz5a9-9smH-vpBh5E9RFAOWVsTvnlKf18Q3/s800/SoaringColors_AlisonCouncil.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">“Soaring Colors” by Alison Council</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I fell in love with this collage by Lynnfield High School student, Alison Council. First, the typography combined with hand written words of inspiration really appealed to me. Second, the bird image is made up of little bits of ripped magazine pages. You know how much I love magazines! The composition of the piece impressed me and I admire its confident message.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjvMGWERFhCUGhKZ5jhSmJPSj5kf-iCWZS9ndbGM3l83PdI2p_Qh-9h_MJYxYpOBrRMyuYj267obTNCOyzg1AwNvHvdnIsyzmqMYzPOkaJ6SUvER5K2dPgVFiUE28eXGotRQ5JELlAr1aZ/s1600/yvonne_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjvMGWERFhCUGhKZ5jhSmJPSj5kf-iCWZS9ndbGM3l83PdI2p_Qh-9h_MJYxYpOBrRMyuYj267obTNCOyzg1AwNvHvdnIsyzmqMYzPOkaJ6SUvER5K2dPgVFiUE28eXGotRQ5JELlAr1aZ/s800/yvonne_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">Arrangement by Yvonne Blacker</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">“Soaring Colors” by Alison Council</span></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">For my arrangement, I chose mini carnations which look like crinkled pieces of paper. I found these really neat floral accessories that looked very Dr. Suess-like (the tall curled brown branches remind me of Alison’s poetic script, bright pink orbs repeat the pink of the bird, and the fragile white pods resemble eggs). I supported the flowers with a nest of feathers tucked into the tall, vintage silver vase. In order to incorporate some blue into my interpretation, I twisted a pale blue silk ribbon around the vase as one might wrap a hand-held bouquet. This arrangement was all about the container, the scale, and finding inspiration in whimsy. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigfrxMrkABvxqSCKZb5IovIC49BYpf2P0fZmBqKmlBplEuSPTcu4u975aJz09iJd_EsGsqyM6fv_X25AxV-LgYYpTbBBAKWnI_MBwfer1s8l3t0njzHPVgV2Vc5Ra4UTwbW-AcTeiDQ-Hd/s1600/yvonne_soaring_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigfrxMrkABvxqSCKZb5IovIC49BYpf2P0fZmBqKmlBplEuSPTcu4u975aJz09iJd_EsGsqyM6fv_X25AxV-LgYYpTbBBAKWnI_MBwfer1s8l3t0njzHPVgV2Vc5Ra4UTwbW-AcTeiDQ-Hd/s800/yvonne_soaring_alison_artinbloom12.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was such a pleasure to meet the artist, Alison, on opening night.
