I recently worked with a wonderful client who’s family room that was in some serious need of updating. She had originality decorated it in the 1990′s and everything was right on trend back then; the sponge painted walls, the elaborate (and very expensive) custom window treatments, and the 90′s color pallet.

Remember back in the 1990′s when the color Burgundy was so popular in interiors?
