Blues Statement | The well-designed living room also doubles as a kid-friendly family room. Annie Mahoney designed a pair of barrel chairs, which are smaller than average but can easily accommodate a man’s larger frame. The mantel is painted a pale blue; custom sofas flank an oversized ottoman covered in a playful animal print by Cowtan & Tout. The fabric on a pair of French chairs is China Seas ZeZe from Quadrille. Pillows in a variety of patterns add vibrant accents.
