Rose & Arch Design

Swipe left to see a very messy before photo The new design was fairly low-cost. We simply updated the lighting, added a few key furniture and décor pieces and a fresh coat of white paint! One of the top needs for this room was storage, but you won't see a ton in the after photos. As we started designing the new space, we realized we are a family who plays in ALL rooms of the house so we designated storage in the living room and finished basement, in addition to the playroom. Now, we have plenty of storage and open floor space (which is very important for playing) in the rooms we use most. We think great design is not only beautiful but should support the functionality of the space - and for individuals or families this can be highly personal

Painted the chair rail, left the moldings and trim behind, for a slightly more modern look. This is one of our favorite shots of the vibrant blue hue in this room, @farrowandball #stiffkeyblue. Its mood shifts with every ray of light and never fails to take me along with it. The little olive branch in the corner is a year-round staple, but we think it doubles nicely as a sprig of Christmas cheer! Dover St. Dining Room, 2018 #roseandarch | @mmadalynne

Vintage pie safe turned cabinet of curiosities... and dinnerware | Another angle of Dover St. Dining Room, 2018 #roseandarch | @mmadalynne Fun fact: the cabinet of curiosities is a Renaissance convention, with cabinet originally referring to an entire room, and curiosities consisting of anything found and undefined.
