EXPRESS A large console – a focal point in the great room – was painted and given a new look. It plays host to family collectibles and a flat screen television. Checkered upholstery cloaks the plush club chairs and pairs well with the sofa and leather chair for comfortable seating. Pedestal accent tables host stylish lamps, and a metal chandelier adds drama to the room. “The ceiling was already in place, but we decided to give it a more rustic appearance and then added the chandelier,” Jenny reflected as we chatted about the master bedroom. The vibe is relaxed and tranquil while the décor is simple and understated. Crisp linens dress the bed accentuated with a tufted headboard. Patterned drapes frame the windows that provide a view of the lush landscape surrounding their home. Inviting wingback chairs flank an accent table. Collectibles are displayed on the ornate dresser while an elegant mirror is propped against the wall. “Now that our children our grown, we had talked about downsizing,” said Jenny, “but this is home, and we want them to be able to come back and visit the place where our memories have been made.” Karista’s Paint Picks for the Stumler Home Dining Room: Navy Grasscloth paper Foyer, Hallway, Kitchen, Upstairs Hallway, Great Room: Benjamin Moore Nimbus #1465 Master Bedroom: Stonington Gray HC – Benjamin Moore #170 Master Bathroom: Quiet Moments – Benjamin Moore #1563 Office: Passive – Sherwin Williams #7064 74 EXTOL : JUNE/JULY 2018 WELCOME HOME
