The wall color, a warm tone faux finish, plus the custom window treatments (which I discovered by coincidence were made by a very talented friend of mine!) were used as a starting point in choosing the color palette and traditional design direction for this family room makeover. </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;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBMU0IRL4GvRC94pkkiuT23sdtP-6Uzr_JcjIw6tFvI2kbq8On4p25ewYegR7yKLuaIs7iu_ozKxNdKfw6-YZnqJPmzVKmgTbsRbO4DYm0aWcrhsmjqqnHc1k6Y8ECPfujSO4Vn1jd35Zh/s1600/melkonian+after+layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBMU0IRL4GvRC94pkkiuT23sdtP-6Uzr_JcjIw6tFvI2kbq8On4p25ewYegR7yKLuaIs7iu_ozKxNdKfw6-YZnqJPmzVKmgTbsRbO4DYm0aWcrhsmjqqnHc1k6Y8ECPfujSO4Vn1jd35Zh/s1600/melkonian+after+layout.jpg" width="480" /></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;">After visiting the clients home, I used the measurements that I took while there to create a revised floor plan with <a href="http://www.bassettfurniture.com/tools/room-planner.asp">Room Planner</a> which is a free design tool available to anyone who visits the Bassett website.

At Bassett, we are constantly receiving new pieces at our Burlington location and even more are introduced regularly on our website which keeps our design inventory current and exciting.
