INTERIORS
Another room that had the potential
to skew formal is the den. Located
between the parlors, Janie says,
“Many of our clients in this area (the
Fan District) gravitate toward these
rooms in the center of the house in the
winter months. We were aiming for
cozy with his and hers sofas. And,
we had the fluffy wool rug custom
made in India.”
The owners love to entertain. At the
rear of the house, the family room
opens onto a secluded multi-level
wraparound deck overlooking the
garden. The nearby catering kitchen
makes entertaining a breeze for the
large family and visiting friends.
The garden, which also includes a three-
car garage, is mostly hardscaped with
perimeter and container plantings.
Janie says that one of the things she
loved best about this project is “that
the interior style feels harmonious, but
you can’t really name a design style.”
Sounds perfect for a family wanting
a fresh start together. n
