Home Transformation
A Young Family's Light + Open Home
Location:
A 1980s House In Portland, Oregon
The Team:
Shelby Towell, Designer
Michelle Gonzales, Installer
Client:
Sara Shepard, Homeowner
The Challenge:
Dark wood ceilings, beams and floors.
Plus, how to make it family friendly.
The Solution:
Lighten the room with a large rug, while also creating more space for baby to crawl around thanks to an easy–to–move coffee table.
How It Came Together
Sarah wanted the
space to feel light
+ open despite
the dark beams +
floors."
— Shelby Towell, Designer
Shelby added texture +
baby–friendly softness
as well as rounded coffee
+ side tables (no sharp
corners!).
