After an in-person, initial consultation, PEL went to the drawing board and created flow plans to help them envision how to set up their space to be functionally more conducive to their routines. We also made mood boards to illustrate how their space might look.

After having some time with their flow plans and mood boards, they chose to work off the option B flow plan. They also determined they wanted to see the sofas from Nice & Easy and Pretty Comfy along with anything else that may strike them. PEL accompanied them on a personal shopping trip. Homeowners felt Lovesacs sactionals was the one that best suited them.

We decided together that their project would require some outside professionals. PEL researched and compiled a list of potential contractors, cabinet makers, painters, and fireplace experts that could convert their wood-burning fireplace to gas.

Homeowners hit a snag. With their busy schedule they put their plans on hold. Some unforeseen expenses also arose, and they reassessed their priorities. Along with PEL, we devised a plan to move the project forward efficiently and economically. Their next step will be to paint the walls white and fireplace black. This is a relatively quick and inexpensive way to vastly change the feel of the rooms and provide a blank slate for further exploration. PEL recommended white and black paints and finishes. When homeowners have more time in March, they'll set up a meeting with the contractor recommended by PEL. Stay tuned...
