20 Years of Traditional Home: McBournie and Faudree(3)
20 Years of Traditional Home: McBournie and Faudree
The large living room is defined by a cheerful assemblage of reds and golds, colors that play up the warm textures of Beth's folk-art treasures, such as a metal horse sculpture, formerly a weather vane, that is now stabled on the mantel. Naturally lit during daytime hours by newly installed windows, the room's walls glow in a wheat-colored glaze.
McBournie created two seating areas that are pulled together by a flat-weave wool carpet and a crewel embroidery fabric covering two curvy chairs on either side of the rust-colored sofa. Facing off in front of the fireplace are matching sofas in nubby white-and-gold cotton. Instead of a coffee table, an ottoman from the Joneses' former home found new life topped with worn tufted leather.
