To assist with the makeover, the owner sought assistance from Sarah Eilers of Lucas Eilers Design Associates, whom she had worked with on a previous home. “This time, my client wanted to go in a more transitional direction and introduce bolder colors,” says Eilers. “While the house looks totally transformed, almost everything we did was simply cosmetic.” Those changes, however, made all the difference. Lackluster light fixtures were replaced with modern shapes and lively finishes, saturated color graces the walls and upholstery, and fresh patterns appear in rugs and decorative accents such as pillows and lamps.
