To update her traditional dining
furniture, Muffin designed stationary
curtain panels stitched from
horizontal strips of coral and white
linen,
above
. Of the wall color, Muffin
says,
“ It's
a fresh, clear blue that just
makes me feel good, and sometimes
that’s all you need.”
Cushions and pillows sewn from
recycled coffee bags beckon Gracie, 10,
Hayden, 11, and Bennett, 14, to pile
onto to the banquette,

Clear
acrylic chairs balance the heavy wood
table. “ I like the idea that they’re
almost not there,” Muffin says.
