Kristi and Bill Pompili of Shelby Township dwell in an ultra-colorful home, thanks to Bill’s sister, interior designer Jennifer “JP” Beaudoin.
“Kristi wanted a hangout room of her own,” Beaudoin says. “Their sons were old enough now (18, 16, and 12) that the family could have an ‘adult’ home.”
Beaudoin got the go-ahead to add big-time color to the scene. A small sitting room off the foyer now features vivid pinks, a variety of blues, enticing emerald greens, and hints of gold. “It was originally used as the boys’ television area (they now enjoy a finished basement) and it was begging to be repurposed for reading and unwinding,” says Beaudoin, who has run No Beige Days Interiors out of her Waterford home for the past five years.
Introducing color can be scary for homeowners, the designer says. In fact, she was surprised that the couple gave a thumbs-up to Schumacher’s pink, leopard-print (Iconic Leopard) wallpaper. “That floored me,” she says. Continuing with the rosy appeal, Beaudoin also received approval for sizzling pink walls (Hot, by Sherwin-Williams). “They trusted me; I had a blank canvas.”
Says Kristi: “I never thought I’d have a pink room in an all-boy house. JP definitely nudged me out of my comfort zone in the best way!”
Whimsical, animal-themed wall art from Anthropologie; tables and a media cabinet from Global Views; a petite, green-pleated velvet swivel chair from TOV furniture; and a durable rug that features the room’s colors round out the space. Above the sofa hangs a colorful contemporary print by Kelly O’Neal. Beaudoin worked around the family’s light-blue sofa, previously purchased at CB2. “Beautiful, rich jewel tones fill the (rest of the) room,” the designer says.
Her daring touches also take center stage in the “moody and elevated” powder room, where a valance comes to life with Samuel & Sons Barcelona Striped Fringe in Amazon. A green vanity, Velvet Leaves wallpaper from Schumacher in Spruce and Blue, and a ceiling and trim painted dark in Sherwin-Williams’ Mount Etna provide intrigue.
Beaudoin also redesigned Kristi’s office, where she works as a human resources specialist. Phillip Jeffries faux grasscloth in emerald green covers the walls, on which you’ll find a chic gallery display with a mirror and landscape and animal paintings.
“These spaces encapsulate Kristi’s personality,” Beaudoin says. “You walk in her house and it’s not what you’d expect.” Adds Kristi: “Up next on the renovation and color front are a living room and kitchen refresh!”
