Until I was 5 years old, I lived in a split level house. Think shag carpet, dark paneled walls, and plaid, plaid, plaid. When I drive by a split level, I always revert back to my childhood and envision the design of old.
That was then. After my most recent 'split' encounter, I now have a new vision for such homes. A friend invited me over to see her home and offer some suggestions for lamps for her den -- an invitation I accepted happily. She had just purchased one of my favorite coffee tables from our store, and I was eager to see it in its final setting. The owner/friend is an interior designer on hiatus while she raising her two precious children, so I knew her house would be great. I drove up to a lovely split level home - painted brick, long front porch. I stepped inside, and let's just say it was no place like my home of old.
The photos speak for themselves. Enjoy.

| We also carry this oval link side table. A touch of contemporary. |
 |
| The tufted banquette is a great way to add seating in a small space. |
 |
| In the master bedroom, Rhonda hung long panels on the wall behind the bed to create this soft, but elegant look. |
 |
| I love the soft pink and pale greens Rhonda used in her daughter's room. |
 |
| This wool rug is beautiful and sure to last well past her teen years. |
 |
| I love this BIG BOYS room. No need to redecorate until he leaves for college! |
