The only place to entertain guests in their ranch home was a 1960s-style, basement office\u2013rec room with dark, faded wood-paneled walls and a ratty lime green carpet. The couple&amp;#039;s children\u2014Justin, 11, and Alexa, 8\u2014also used the 15-by-22-foot space to watch TV, play air hockey, and sing karaoke. So to create a multifunctional site that would suit the entire gang, the homeowners called in our contributing editor, designer Candice Olson. &amp;quot;This is one of the busiest families I&amp;#039;ve ever met,&amp;quot; says Olson. &amp;quot;They tried to have one space serve many purposes. I divided the expanse into two seating areas, and designated separate sections for working and playing.&amp;quot; By painting the walls a creamy white; covering the floors with hardy, wood-look vinyl; and dressing it all in warm shades of cream, taupe, pumpkin, and charcoal, Olson created a party-playroom that the homeowners are now proud to show off. perfect palette   1.
