Clients Wainscoting

I survived the O.R.C. and I'm so glad things are back to normal....
It was a great way to get my family room done....or at least for now! 


I wanted to share an up-date on the project I'm working on...its been a lot of fun...
The colors and the fabrics are some of my favorites....
The Ralph Lauren in the middle is for the dining room chairs and a pillow for the sofa...
The blue fabric on the right and the stripes are also for pillows...
The red leaf pattern will go on two chairs in the living room and the blue fabric at the top left will be for an ottoman..

The white fabric with the leaf print will be for  drapery...

This and the one below are before shots...we took the wall down behind the chair.

This is what it looks like now...we have a new chandelier coming..its from Aiden Gray...
I can't wait to see it!

The entry way piece will be painted the same color as the walls and go into the living room.
 I wanted it to look like it was a built in display area..

This is what the entry way looks like now

This is the living room and part of the entry way piece that will go against the wall....we took the doors off so my client could display items.

We added a window above this one...it lets in so much light and now balances with the other window.

New window...

We are using this chair but stained in a dark walnut...almost black.

This will go on the chairs...the wood floors will start this week and the furniture has been ordered....were just hoping it will be done for Christmas..
Our fingers are crossed!

Project Update.....

(Martha O' Hara)

It's about time!   
I've been really bad about keeping all of you in the loop....  I've been working on a few things and this is one of them........ 
 I shared a few of these ideas in an earlier post and we now have finalized some of the furniture and fabric ideas. 
This is an inspiration image of the colors and feel my client wanted . The yellow will be swapped out for green. 
 She wants contemporary pieces with some traditional.  
We have put together a floor plan and sourced out furniture. 
 Here are some of our selections that she loved..


 

This is her living room....... 
 The challenge..... 
taking your eye away from the six little windows and bringing it back to the fireplace, the focal point..
 We have to keep the marble and the carpet to stay within the budget.


 

Here is the idea board that we gave the client. 

I wanted the fireplace to be the focal point.
 By adding the wood above the fireplace.... it takes your eye away from the windows.
 Adding a large picture above the mantel will also help. 
The drapes will  soften the windows into the background and the walls will be a taupe color.

 

I drew these images to give her an idea of what it will look like.




 

She wanted a sofa with an English arm, this is the one she likes.
We are using a linen fabric on it that is an ivory...oyster color.



 

Pillow Fabric....Kravet


 

This will be used on the Chairs in the dinning room and 2 small pillows for the living room chairs. 

She loved this fabric....it will be used for one pillow on the sofa.
 I am still looking for one more fabric to go with this and possible the green animal print...we'll see.



 

This paisley fabric might go on an ottoman. The color is a little deeper in person....




 

The two chairs will have a linen fabric that has a mix of a subtle taupe, gray, and cream. The stripe pillow will go on these.




 

This will be in a champagne finish




 

Decor Pad


I would love to throw a zebra rug into the mix.....we'll see what she says....




 

Rug option


 

 Rug option....these images are not the best.





 

option for a table 

I love this table but it needs to be in a champagne finish

We are using two of these babies on either side of the fireplace.
Sorry this is a little blurry.

The dinning room will have grass cloth and white wains-coating like this image. The grass cloth will be a taupe color.

This is the dinning room. 



 

This is one of the drawings I did for her.

 

We will take the canning out of the chairs and add the fabric in the center. We are keeping the gray rain drop fabric on the seats.




 

Fabric for the chairs. 

This is the chandelier she likes. 

I've been working on a few other projects that have been keeping me busy.
 I'll share with you soon...... but for now.....are you all ready for Thanksgiving?


 I can't believe Thanksgiving is around the corner.....

I'm not sure what we are doing for Thanksgiving, but we are celebrating with a family get together on Sunday. 

We are having 20 people over and a lot of the family will be meeting the new grand-baby for the first time.

 I was going to make a big Turkey and have all the fixings.....
thought about it....only for a minute and I decided to order food in......
What can I say.....a little lazy I guess!

What are you doing for Thanksgiving? 

 Well, gotta go for now.......
Thanks for stopping bye
