The owners of this Craftsman bungalow on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle requested light and color to combat the often overcast skies. Textures impart additional interest: embroidery, fringe, unstained wood, metals. The evocative photographs and the beautiful gemstone totems were created by artist friends of the couple, bringing special meaning to this space as well as beauty. As the only living area, this room needed to be suitable for company but also a comfortable place for the family to spend time; a sleek cabinet, customized to hide a television, achieves both.
