Historic Hingham Home: Media Room Update
Sep 22 2016 ·0Welcome back to the Historic Hingham Antique Colonial home I first shared with you last week. Previously, we toured the redesigned Family Room. Today we are moving to the front of the house and the Media Room. This room is where my client and her family entertain guests and have friends over to watch sporting events and the like. Once again they required ample seating, durable, stain-resistant fabrics and above all ~ comfort.

It is always exciting to commence a new project for me. During the first consultation I have a custom questionnaire that I try to follow so I know about the needs as well as the wants of the client. This simple interview includes questions such as how many are living in your home and do they have any special living requirements? Do you like pattern? Do you like stripes? What is your favorite color and is there a color you just can’t tolerate? Do you have pets? Do you entertain often? As I was going through the questionnaire with the client for this project, I discovered that she has very definite likes and dislikes she when it comes to her home.
