Posh and polished "rhisis
not your standard,boring formal living
room," saysStephenof the high-style
space.Before,the room was bare and
lackeda styledirection."The homeowners
made great furniture choices-the sofa and
chair-butwere hesitant to take the room
to the next level," he says.Stephenpainted
the walls steelyblue,dressedthe windows
in tailoredRomanshadesand silk window
panels,and added wood furniture for
warmth. Faux crystal lamps and a metallic
framed mirror provide an affordable dose
of glamour. "There's sparkle throughout
the room"'he says'
