Eclectic and Casual Design in Indianapolis

Eclectic Designs 

You may remember a few years ago that Indianapolis (and a whole lot of the northern US) experienced a terrible blizzard and ice storm.    It was during that time; well as soon as the power was back on and planes were landing that is, that this beautiful project was  born.  The home was built for a family with active kids that liked to entertain.  The goal was to create a home that was both casual and eclectic, with lots of areas for friends and family to relax.   I stuck with an overall neutral palette and added in lots of texture and earthy elements.  The living room sports chocolate lattice print wallpaper from Seabrook and four chairs clustered around a metal drum coffee table from Roost.   An antique factory cart grounds the family room and is virtually indestructible.  The large sun room acts does double duty as a breakfast and seating area.  The basement houses the home office and areas as well as the requisite pool and poker table.  Thanks to the weather, we had a lot of adventures on this install, but it was all worth it in the end.  Enjoy!
