This Luxury Realtor Planned Her House Around a 17-Foot-Long Sofa
www.housebeautiful.com
A 17-foot sofa tells you a lot about a person. In this case, what its saying is that Dawn McKenna, a Chicago-based real estate advisor who installed one in her Naples, Florida, house, loves to host a party. I wanted to fit 10 people comfortably, she says. The vintage sectional, now covered in crowd-friendly white performance fabric, did the trick. Her waterfront 1990s ranch house owes its new feminine, more-is-more look to designer Kelly Hurliman, a former stylist for Oprah who clearly has a knack for knowing what boss ladies want. Together they threw resale value caution to the wind and lacquered the front doors pink, gave the kitchen an island so big youd need a Swiffer to clean it, and installed a massive pink marble bar in the living room. McKenna didnt waste any time breaking the place in. Days after the final install, she and her husband hosted a pre-wedding celebration for their son and his fiance with 100-plus guests, a DJ, silver balls in the pool, and a taco bar. One down, many more to come.FAST FACTSDesigner: Kelly Hurliman of Kelly Hurliman DesignLocation: Naples, FloridaThe Home: A five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bathroom beach houseThis home is a relaxed mix of modern and classic with a feminine edge.LIVING ROOMThe design is for full-impact entertaining.Nicole FranzenBanquette tables: CFC.
