LIVING ROOM
An inviting palette brings warmth to a bachelor pad.
THIS LINCOLN PARK ARTIST and bachelor had recently bought a new condo — and an empty living room. He had a dining room set, a fireplace, a giant TV, and a sofa that was ready to be passed along.
For this busy urban client, Christine created two color schemes, laid out two floor plans, and identified two sets of furniture: he was able to come in, discuss the plans, and go with the one which best fit him. "I don't really have the time to shop," he wrote later. "And I don't really know where to go. Christine was able to pull it all together for me."
Christine had the artist's own watercolors framed and hung. And for that extra step of customer service? She returned with a wide assortment of accessories for the client to choose from. Her perfect finishing touch was brought to the fireplace mantle, cocktail table, and sectional divider. "I was surprised," he says. "It was like like shopping at home, with my designer dream team!"
