Master Retreat

Master Retreat

When the time came to update this couple’s master suite, our design choices were inspired by the beautiful setting of their log cabin and the need for the remodel to flow with the rest of the home. Aside from the sumptuous bed, the see-through gas fireplace is the focal point of this rustically elegant suite. It can be seen from the bedroom and also from the bath where the state-of-the art shower is framed by 2 custom designed cherry cabinets with hand-poured concrete vanity tops and mosaic travertine bowls. Curl up with a good book by the fire or soak in the air-jet tub – an evening here feels like a visit to the spa. Pour some wine and light the candles!

Tuscany

The painting of a Tuscan hillside rich with deep reds, inspiring greens, seductive plums, and luscious browns that capture the essence and charm of a recent trip to Italy was the inspiration for the design choices made in this home. The client’s desire was that the home be casually elegant – a place where friends could gather and relax – be in the moment – but also be enveloped with a sense of grandeur – to be nurtured by beautiful things. “Casual” was achieved with the use of big, plush furniture that invites folks to sit for a good, cozy conversation. “Elegance” was achieved by the use of mirrors, voluminous trims and lots of silky drapery fabric – some even puddling in the floor. This is a home where feelings and friendships run deep – just as the hues convey a richness in every room. It’s almost like going to another country as family and guests are invited into the ambience of fond memories and magical moments found in a far away land.

Beach Home

Inspiration? Well – kind of easy here. We drew that from the setting …. Colors of the ocean, sand, and sky. Watery glass and rich ceramic tiles in “fifty-eleven” shades of blue, green, and putty run through the house and up some of the walls. What fun! What a total work of art! No detail left to chance. From the hardware on the kitchen cabinets to the commissioned tile mosaic, and custom-designed built-ins – this place is designed to be an “…aaahhhh…” – a soothing retreat from a hectic and busy world. This is new construction and not quite finished yet. Please check back soon for photo postings.

Victorian

How do you bring a grand old Victorian home back to her glory days? You start with a client who has a spirit big enough to fill it and then add her lifetime collection of furniture and accessories. Top it off with her passion to create a home filled with warmth and elegant charm. My role here was to design period window treatments to further enhance her vision of the home. Luscious red, green, and gold patterned fabrics were sculpted into swags, jabots, cascades, and flowing drapery panels, while underneath – the piece de resistance – lacy Austrian shades. Just stepping in the front door feels like a great big hug as the home irresistibly conveys the client’s dream – a home born of love, hope, new beginnings and gentle attention to detail.

Stonehurst Place B&B

Working with the owner/client, we designed window treatments and provided some of the furnishings, carpeting, and lighting to enhance her overall vision. She wanted this home to be an oasis of serenity, luxury, and comfort – much like some of the European hotels in which she has stayed. That feeling prevailed as we wove ivories all through the house bringing cohesiveness to several different styles of design found in varying rooms. You’ll see Barbara Barry furniture featured in the parlor and dining room giving a nod to art deco. There are five bedrooms/baths in all: 2 in Hollywood Glam, 1 dubbed “High Queen”, and 2 contemporary/modern. This house is a feast for the eyes and nourishment to the soul.
