Home Transformation
A Music + Art–Loving Family Home
Location:
A House in the Chicago Suburbs
The Team:
Pamela Gieseke, Designer
Client:
Marcus + Dawn Thomas, Homeowners
The Challenge:
Moving from an apartment and filling their
new home with unique styles.
The Solution:
Emphasizing the home's space + light with low slung furniture to keep sight lines open and create an easy flow for entertaining.
How It Came Together
They like to entertain, so they wanted the open living/dining room to feel like a casual lounge that was still family–friendly."
— Pamela Gieseke, Designer
Records + art collections were key inspirations in making the space feel personal.
