Before & After

“There is nothing more valuable than creating a space that truly feels like home,” says Sedona, AZ designer, Stephanie Larsen. “While the ideal living space looks different for all of us, taking the steps to shape our homes around our unique needs, tastes, and lifestyles, enables us to create the environments that we need to grow, recharge, and reconnect with loved ones.”

Tasked with transforming a dated interior, Stephanie took the opportunity to use Sedona’s famed red rocks as a counterpoint to this interior. To do so Stephanie chose cool neutral tones for the floors, walls, and furniture.

“We took out the outdated fireplace, put in wood floors, and added some quality furniture,” she says. “The decor completely warmed up the space.”

“Designing and decorating is our passion,” says Jane Connell, Founder and Head Designer of Fun House Furnishings in Mendham Township, NJ. Fun House Furnishings provides clients with personalized design services, which range in capability and can adapt to each client’s unique style. “It is important that we get to know the needs and lifestyles of our clients in order to focus on functionality as well as aesthetics”.

For this kitchen renovation Jane replaced the traditional white cabinets with more contemporary black upper cabinets and wood grain under-counter cabinets. All are from Alexandria Como Design of Morristown, NJ. White countertops create a striking counterpoint, as does the graceful sweep of the Charleston Forge Naples Barstools that contrast with the rectilinear elements of the kitchen. The update also included the addition of a coffee bar, a custom steel range hood, floating shelves in front of the window, and a galley sink.

Jane says that she enjoys mixing styles and color and feels a home should be a mixture of beautiful things that reflect personal style.
