Having a Vision

Having a vision and going after it is not always easy. Especially if you are looking at some of these before pictures. It is virtually impossible to imagine that some of these vignettes could eventually be full of modern flare and drama! But it wasn't impossible for my clients, S&J. They took me to their newly purchased home, led me to their "dilemna," and explained their vision to me....

S&J cleary wanted a contemporary living area and felt that this space could become just that.....only they weren't sure exactly how. That's what I was there to do. One thing I love to find is a client who is not afraid to push the limits! During this project we pushed the limits and smiled all the way!

For S&J, I was able to design custom built in niches. Talk about drama! We achieved symmetry and balance by the placement, size and shape of the niches. The vaulted ceiling was a feature we loved, because the height of the wall itself was very dramatic. We added a nice contradiction to the vertical lines by placing emphasis on a horizontal trim detail. Adding light and using glass shelves also add a very sexy layer to the wall feature.

This is an amazing transformation! The mirrored walls were so outdated and the new niches and lighting really fit the style of the home more.

This was the greatest part of this renovation. The dark horizontal trim piece at the top and bottom of each niche is really set off by the light shining down through the glass shelving. Very cool way to showcase decorative pieces.
