Public meetings this week look at repurposing a house with a hotel behind it; King Open parking possibilities; police use of pepper spray in an occupied apartment building; and sewer overflow prevention.

“The living room sets the tone for the entire home. Ned and Luke wanted a space that felt warm, edited, and a little moodier, so we anchored the room with a custom wood clad fireplace that immediately gives the space more depth and presence. The sofa from Maiden Home brings a soft, sculptural simplicity, which plays beautifully against the darker Arteriors side tables and the round black coffee table from RH Modern. The rust velvet lounge chairs from Lee Industries add just the right amount of richness without overwhelming the palette. We kept the rug light and quiet with a piece from Ernesta, which softens the room and lets the darker elements stand out.”
