A gold chaise longue, rose and green chair coverings, pink bed lamp, and beige bed spreads align with blue painted ceiling. Remodeling slimmed a doorway, shortened a fireplace area, and light ivory walls brighten the space with ivory beams and a lighter ceiling.
A section describes removal and replacement of features with a wood slab and brick set with a half circle opening.
