ECLECTIC AND EASY
ABOVE "Morgan really wanted a big
sectional," says Wouters, "but the
layout didn't lend itself to it." Instead,
Wouters compromised with the extra-
long sofa and oversized storage ottoman
she custom-made and wrapped with
durable black vinyl "snakeskin." Feet
can rest on top; inside, the girls' toys
are hidden away, allowing an easy
transition from kids' time to adult time.
LEFT Wouters chose the wooden
"alphabet" cabinet for its eclectic appeal
and decked the top with greenery,
candles and lots of lights. It almost
functions as a mantelpiece, backdropped
with a painting in the home's chic pink-
lime-black combo.
