Making
room | Darleen
made clever use of fun retro wallpaper snagged on Ebay:
"One effect I'm particularly proud of is the snowflake
orange-flocked metallic wallpaper around the front door in the
dining hall. That area is truly not large enough to be a dining
room, but the pattern on the wallpaper gives the illusion that
that the room is wider than it really is." |

Because the space is a lot like a loft -- a large, open space --
the colors had to be consistent and compatible with each of the
different living areas. Notes Darleen: "I had to find a
color scheme that I REALLY like, since I can't go from one room
-- or fantasy -- to the other." Using a warm palette of
colors proved the most effective way to cozy up the dark
basement space.
