LIVING ROOM/DINING ROOM

TO THE RIGHT IS THE LIVING ROOM BEFORE AND BELOW IS WHAT I HOPE IT WILL RESEMBLE WHEN FINISHED. FIRST THING THAT WE DID WAS TO HAVE THE FIREPLACE PAINTED AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT MADE IN THE ROOM.
|
|
THE LIVING ROOM AFTER: STILL WAITING FOR THE TV MAN TO COME SO WE CAN BE RID OF ALL THOSE CABLE WIRES...EVENTUALLY I WILL PUT UP A FINAL PHOTO OF THE ROOM.

CALIFORNIA BEACH HOUSE
ALL NEW: SOFA FROM LEE JOFA, PILLOW FABRIC IS BRUNSCHWIG & FIL, CHAIR FABRIC BY KRAVET, MARTINI TABLE BY CENTURY FURNITURE. I FOUND THE BRONZE STANDING LAMP ONLINE.
THE CORNER HAD A GREAT VIEW BUT THERE IS A HOUSE NEXT DOOR THAT SHE WANTED TO BLOCK WHEN LOOKING FROM THE KITCHEN SO I ADDED A BIG PLANT AND A BRONZE SCULPTURE BY GUSTAVO TORRES, CALLED "THE CHISMOSAS" WHICH MEANS "THE GOSSIPS”. I JUST HAPPENED TO CALL HIM BEFORE THE LAST PIECE WAS MADE AND GIVEN TO A GALLERY TO SELL, AS MY CLIENT PURCHASED THE LAST PIECE OF THE EDITION OF 10. GUSTAVO IS AN OLD FASHIONED SCULPTOR BECAUSE HE USES A CENTURIES-OLD LOST-WAX CASTING TECHNIQUE TO CREATE THIS BRONZES, AND HE IS DIRECTLY INVOLVED IN PART OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS, MEANING HE NOT ONLY DESIGNS THE SCULPTURE AND MAKES THE MOLD, BUT HE ACTUALLY POURS THE BRONZE THROUGH THE MOLD AND PATINAS EACH PIECE. WHEN I OWNED AN ART GALLERY, I PLACED TWO PIECES OF HIS WORK IN THE DIVINITY COLLECTION AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY YEARS AGO AND HIS WORKS ARE FEATURED IN PROMINENT GALLERIES AND NUMEROUS COLLECTIONS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, A VERY WORTHY PIECE TO ADD TO MY CLIENTS COLLECTION.
THE PILLOW FABRIC BELOW IS BY KRAVET. CHAIR WAS CLIENTS OWN. CHECK OUT THAT BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE OCEAN!
THE PILLOW FABRIC BELOW IS BY KRAVET. CHAIR WAS CLIENTS OWN. CHECK OUT THAT BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE OCEAN!
THE BASEMENT IN THIS BEACH HOUSE HAS A COOL WINE CELLAR, BUT NEEDED A PIECE OF ART WHEN YOU REACHED THE BOTTOM OF THE STEPS. WE FOUND THIS PIECE ON A TRIP I MADE THIS SPRING. THE PAINTING IS 4 FEET HIGH AND 8 FEET LONG, AND I HAD A FRAME BUILT, SO IT MAY BE A WHILE BEFORE I SEE IT FINISHED.
WE FOUND THE ARTWORK BELOW ON A TRIP WHEN I WAS THERE A FEW YEARS AGO.
BELOW IS THE THE BEAUTIFUL GLASS STAIRCASE...DESIGNED BY HER BROTHER, A RETIRED ARCHITECT FROM SANTA BARBARA. NOW EACH LANDING HAS A PAINTING THAT REMINDS HER OF CALIFORNIA.
MASTER BEDROOM LIGHTING
MASTER BEDROOM LIGHTS BELOW WERE A PAIR THE BUILDER'S DESIGNER INSTALLED BUT WERE TOO MODERN FOR MY CLIENT'S TASTE:
|
|
MASTER BEDROOM LIGHTS AFTER :
MY CLIENT RECENTLY RETIRED AND MOVED FROM HER HOME IN ATLANTA TO HER HOME IN CALIFORNIA. ONE OF HER FAVORITE ITEMS WAS A CHANDELIER, WHICH WAS BROKEN BY A MOVIE STUDIO RENTING HER HOUSE...THE PIECE WAS HAND BLOWN VENETIAN GLASS AND I BOUGHT IT ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO FROM A STORE IN ADAC WHICH IS NOW CLOSED. ODDLY ENOUGH, 14TH STREET ANTIQUES PURCHASED ALL THIER INVENTORY AND HAD ONE SIMILAR. HOWEVER, WE NEEDED TWO FOR HER BEDROOM, SO FRABEL STUDO MADE US A NEW BOBESH AND LAMP ARM, COMPLETE WITH FLAKES OF GOLD. LAMP ARTS PUT IT ALL TOGETHER FOR ME AND AFTER MONTHS OF WORK, THEY ARE FINALLY HANGING AND LOOK BEAUTIFUL!

AERIAL VIEW OF THE HOUSE BELOW AND FAR RIGHT IS THE ORIGINAL HOUSE BEFORE THE REMODEL…THE HOUSE ORIGINALLY HAD 3 DIFFERENT EXTERIORS, WE REPLACED THE SHINGLES ON THE MASTER SUITE WITH BRICKWORK AND ADDED A SECRET GARDEN WITH A FOUNTAIN. THE CONSTRUCTION WAS SUPPOSED TO TAKE 6-9 MONTHS, HOWEVER, I ENDED UP WORKING ON THIS PROJECT FOR TWO YEARS...THANKFULLY THE CLIENTS AND THE CONSTRUCTION SUBS WERE GREAT!
|
|
THE NEW FRONT YARD AND BACKYARD BELOW ARE BOTH SPECTACULAR- NOTE THE GRASS IMMEDIATELY AROUND THE FRONT AND SIDE PORCH IS FAKE…BACKYARD IS THE REAL DEAL…TOP PHOTO IS A STREET VIEW.
ENTRY WAY & STAIRWELL
THE ENTRYWAY IS FINISHED, BUT THE STAIRWELL, DESIGNED BY NORMAN ASKINS IS STILL WAITING ON THE RAILING TO BE FINISHED IN A DARK WALNUT COLOR IN A FRENCH POLISH. ALSO, NOTICE HOW THE OLD MOLDING IN THE FRONT DOOR ENTRY HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH NEW MORE MODERN MOLDING ALSO A DESIGN BY NORMAN ASKINS...TRULY THE MAN IS A GENIUS. ANOTHER FABULOUS ADDITION IS THE CURVED CORNER WALLS IN THE ENTRY DESIGN BY BRENT MOONEYHAM.

BELOW IS THE ENTRYWAY & STAIRCASE BEFORE THE REMODEL. - (Note that the railing before was so high at the curve, not sure why)
|
FOUR FLOORS OF RAILING... STILL NOT FINISHED BUT CLOSE.
|
MASTER BEDROOM
THE ENTRANCE TO THE MASTER IS OFF THE LIBRARY BAR. ITS OCTAGONAL SHAPE IS ON BOTH THE WOOD FLOORING AND THE CEILING. THE LIGHT FIXTURE IS ONE I PURCHASED ONLINE BUT SO PRETTY AND REALLY SHOWS OFF THE SHAPE OF THE ROOM. I NEED TO TAKE A NEW PHOTO OF THIS SPACE SO YOU CAN SEE THE FLOOR. THEY REDID IT ABOUT 3 TIMES TO MAKE BOTH ME AND BRENT, WHO DESIGNED THE FLOOR, HAPPY.
BELOW IS THE MASTER SUITE COFFEE BAR - KEVIN PHILLIPS DESIGNED THE CABINET WHICH LIFTS WITH THE TOUCH OF YOUR FINGER...I GAVE UP TRYING TO HIDE THE BEVERAGE CENTER. THE FLOORING IN THIS HOUSE IS LOVELY, THE GUYS AT POPE FLOORING WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH BECAUSE I HAD THEM MIX UP ABOUT 10 DIFFERENT FINISHES UNTIL WE FOUND ONE THAT DID NOT TURN ORANGE OR RED.
THE CHANGE OF THE CEILING FROM FLAT TO A BARREL SHAPE REALLY MAKES THE ROOM, NORMAN ASKINS STRIKES GOLD AGAIN...THE FIREPLACE AND WINDOW WALL DESIGN ALL BY BRENT MOONEYHAM REPLACED THE GIANT PICTURE WINDOW. BEDSPREAD FABRIC BY JIM THOMPSON, ALL MADE BY MY MISSISSIPPI LADY, SHIRLEY...I DON'T THINK ANYONE DOES PRETTIER WORK. THE LEATHER BED AND BEDSIDE TABLES, TV POP-UP CABINET AND WALL SCONCES ALL BY NANCY CORZINE. BEDSIDE LAMPS FROM LAMPS ARTS IN BUCKHEAD. RUG IS FROM MOATTAR AT ADAC.
BELOW IS THE MASTER BEFORE...NOTICE THAT THE LARGE WINDOW BECAME A FIREPLACE AND A WINDOW WAS ELIMINATED ON THE RIGHT WALL, THE OTHER WINDOW IS NOW IN HIS MASTER SINK AREA...

CLOSETS: HER CLOSETS DON'T NEED AN EXPLANATION...A GIRL HAS TO HAVE A SPACE FOR SHOES AND CLOTHES...WE REUPHOLSTERED A CHAIR FROM HER GRANDMOTHER IN BEAUTIFUL FABRIC FROM COWTAN & TOUT SO SHE WILL HAVE A PLACE TO SIT AND PONDER WHAT TO WEAR! KEVIN PHILLIPS DESIGNED AND BUILT ALL THE CABINETS.
BELOW-OLD MASTER BATH-WINDOW WAS REMOVED AND THE SPACE RECONFIGURED TO INCLUDE HIS AND HERS CLOSETS PLUS A SEPARATE SHOE CLOSET.
HIS MASTER BATH
THE WALNUT WOOD CABINET AND WALL PANELING IS BY PEDINI...VISIONARY STONE DID A FANTASTIC JOB OF CREATING MY HAND SKETCH DESIGN OF THE COUNTERTOP WITH BUILT IN SINK. MY DESIGN OF HIS BATHROOM TURNED OUT TO BE QUITE THE ORDEAL BECAUSE THE WALNUT PANELS ARE SHIPPED FROM ITALY AND HAD TO BE ALTERED ON SITE TO FIT THE SPACE BECAUSE THE WINDOWS CHANGED AFTER WE ORDERED THE PANELING. THE MIRRORS WERE DESIGNED SO THAT THE TWO END MIRRORS OPEN WITH A PUSH...THEY WERE BUILT AN INSTALLED BY KEVIN PHILLIPS WHO BUILT THEM FROM MY HAND SKETCH.
BELOW ON THE RIGHT IS THE SLAB I CHOSE FOR THE SINK. THE SHOWER HARDWARE IS PINNA PALETTA BY KOHLER. TILE IS LIAISON BY KELLY WEARSTLER MOSAICS FROM ANN SACKS.

BEFORE REMODEL IS BELOW
LIBRARY
|
I LOVE TO READ BUT LIBRARIES TEND TO BE STUFFY AND BORING...NOT SO IN THIS HOUSE, THE WALLS ARE WALNUT AND HAVE BEEN WAXED AND WILL BE EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL OVER TIME...THE CLIENT IS STILL DECIDING ON THE ART SHE WANTS TO HANG OVER THE FIREPLACE. THE FIREPLACE STONE IS FROM CABMRIA AND INSTALLED BY VISIONARY STONE. I LOVE THE NEW CEILING FIXTURE FROM ADAC...TABLE IS NAGUCCI.
|
THE OLD LIBRARY ON THE RIGHT, THE WOODWORK WAS DARK RED AND LOOKED TERRIBLE WITH THE FLOORS.
|
THE FINAL RESULT WAS SO MUCH BETTER THAN MY SKETCH. STILL LOOKING FOR ART TO GO OVER THE FIREPLACE...
LIBRARY BAR
IT WAS RISKY BECAUSE I CHOSE THE STONE FROM AN 4X8" TILE…AS IT TURNED OUT, I LOVE THE LIBRARY BAR...ALL NEW CABINETRY BY KEVIN PHILLIPS. WE ARE ALL STILL DECIDING WHAT WE THINK THE DESIGN COULD BE- A FROG IN A BALLGOWN OR MOUNTAINS WITH A TUNNEL UNDER THEM...YOU DECIDE... STONE INSTALLED BY VISIONARY STONE.

THE WALLS ARE WALLPAPERED IN CORK-TURQUOISE AND GOLD BY ROMO.

BATHROOM BEFORE IS SHOWN BELOW. IT WAS JUST BAD...
|
THEATER
THE ENTRANCE TO THE THEATER IS WONDERFUL, THE DOORS WERE DESIGNED BY NORMAN ASKINS AND CREATED BY DARRYL ZADAI, ZADAIS STUDIO IN BLAIRSVILLE, GEORGIA-THEY ARE SO TALENTED AND ONLY TAKE ON SPECIAL PROJECTS. THEY ARE ALSO MAKING A TRELLIS FOR THE FRONT OF THE GARAGE THAT FACES THE STREET, BUT IT WILL BE EARLY FALL BEFORE IT IS FINISHED. THE DOOR HANDLES IN HIGH POLISHED NICKEL WERE MY IDEA AND DESIGN . THE VEGAN LEATHER ON THE DOORS IS BY ROMO FABRICS.
|
|
I MIXED AND MIXED UNTIL I FOUND JUST THE RIGHT PAINT COLOR FOR THIS ROOM BUT IT WORKS WELL WITH THE WALL PANELS FROM GEORGIA HOME THEATER. ALL OF THE SOUND AND THE SCREEN ALSO FROM GHT.
CHAIRS PURCHASED AT AAA ON MIAMI CIRCLE, CARPET FROM MYERS IN BUCKHEAD.
BELOW IS THE THEATER BEFORE...
LOUNGE & WINE CELLAR
WINE CELLAR - THE WINE RACKS ARE ALL WALNUT AND DESIGNED BY CAROLINE HENDERSON.

|
|
LOUNGE & BATHROOM - ABOVE RIGHT IS THE OLD BASEMENT-BELOW THE NEW-NOTE THE RAISED CEILING AND RECONFIGURATION OF SPACE…THE WINE CELLAR IS TO THE LEFT OF THE SEATING AREA.

CALIFORNIA
AN 18 WHEELER SMASHED UP MY CLIENTS ENTIRE TRUCK OF FURNISHINGS ON I-10 SO, WE STARTED OVER WITHOUT ALL THE ANTIQUES I COLLECTED OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS. SADLY, ALL THE CURTAINS MADE OF BEAUTIFUL FABRICS BY CENTURY, COWTAN & TOUT, KRAVET AND PINDLER WERE ALSO ON THAT TRUCK. I CHANGED THE LOOK COMPLETELY BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO REORDER A NUMBER OF FABRICS...BUT LOOK WHAT WE CAME UP WITH INSTEAD...

COMPLETE REMODEL OF THE FIREPLACE. THE CONTRACTOR DID A FABULOUS JOB...BASED ON MY SKETCH, HE HAD TO ALTER IT A LITTLE TO MAKE IT WORK WITH THE CROWN MOLDING. WE REFINISHED THE FLOORS AND CHANGED THE COLOR TO A DARK STAIN.
THE ROOM I ENVISIONED WORKED OUT EXCEPT THE SINGLE CHAIR ENDED UP IN A GUEST ROOM AND THE FIREPLACE WAS FLANKED WITH THE BRUNCHSWIG & FIL CHAIRS.

THE BATHROOMS
ABOVE: The Guest Bath - I designed the tile floor layout. Small painting by Steve Penley. The tub, toilet and Kohler sink all came from Fergusons, the etagere by Century. BELOW: I designed the shower and tiling which turned out even better than I imagined.
|
BELOW: The Master Bath glass block was designed by my clients brother, a well known retired architect from Santa Barbara. I added the glass block wall between the shower and the sink and chose the tile layout shower walls and floor. The sink cabinet and fixtures are from Fergusons. Sconces by Barbara Barry.
|
KITCHEN
THE BREAKFAST AREA BELOW OVERLOOKS THE PATIO. PATIO FURNITURE AND FIREPIT FROM LOGAN GARDENS. THE CURTAIN FABRIC IN THE BREAKFAST ROOM IS FROM COWTAN & TOUT. I HAD FOUR PANELS PUT TOGETHER SO THAT IT COULD STRETCH THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR BUT THEY WERE SO HEAVY THAT WE HAD TO ORDER A SOLID IRON ROD AND THEN I HAD THE CONTRACTORS PLACE A BOARD BEHIND THE ROD SO THAT IT WOULD NOT PULL OUT OF THE WALL...I FOUND THE PAIR OF LIGHT FIXTURES AT SARAH CYRUS IN ATLANTA. BARSTOOLS FROM CENTURY FURNITURE AND COVERED IN A FABRIC FROM PINDLER. THE BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM CIRCLE CABINET ALSO FROM CENTURY. DINING TABLE FROM BEAU STUDIO,
|
|
|
A NICE CLOSE UP BELOW OF THE TABLE FROM BEAU STUDIO...IT WAS SHIPPED ON A BOAT FROM ENGLAND AND HELD UP FOR MONTHS DUE TO COVID.
BUTLER'S PANTRY
My favorite room in the house...custom green...I tried to get my client to paint the entire kitchen green, but she would only agree to this room...now it is her favorite room and she wishes we had painted it all...sometimes it is hard to see things as a whole until a project is completed.
|
|
DINING ROOM
I designed the glass top table and base and worked with a local contractor.
GUEST HOUSE
|
|
|
MISSISSIPPI FARM HOUSE
|
ABOVE IS THE HOUSE TODAY...BELOW AND RIGHT ARE PHOTOS OF WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE BEFORE THE RENOVATION.
|
THE HOUSE WAS BARELY VISIBLE FOR ALL THE PINE TREES AND HAD A HUGE RETAINING POND TO WATER THE YARD IN THE FRONT OF THE HOUSE.
|
BELOW - THE GARAGE HAD THE BEST VIEWS OF THE LAKE, SO WE TURNED IT INTO THE FAMILY ROOM...MY HUSAND HAS TOYS, SO WE ADDED A THREE CAR GARAGE WITH A 300 SF STUDIO UPSTAIRS FOR ME TO WORK...THE BREEZEWAY WAS AN AFTERTHOUGHT BUT HAS BEEN THE PERFECT PLACE TO SIT AND RELAX...MY CONTRACTOR THOUGHT WE SHOULD HAVE PUT A DRIVING RANGE ON THE TOP, BUT THE YARD WORKS JUST FINE...WE NOW HAVE OUR BACKDOOR WHERE THE SMALL WINDOW SITS IN THE PHOTO BELOW AND WE HAVE TURNED IT INTO A MUDROOM.
TO THE RIGHT IS THE GARAGE BEFORE WE TURNED IT INTO OUR LIVING ROOM. |
|
|
BELOW AND RIGHT ARE THE NEW LIVING ROOM AND BREEZEWAY. ALSO BELOW IS MY NEW FOUNTAIN MADE FROM AN OLIVE VAT I BOUGHT IN ITALY AND HAD SHIPPED OVER.
|

BELOW - NO MORE GARAGE...JUST A FAMILY ROOM WITH GREAT VIEWS OF THE LAKE!

ARTWORK-LADY LIBERTY BY STEVE PENLEY, ABSTRACT BY CAIO FONSECA AND DALMATION BY DANIEL MALTZMAN.
BELOW THE MASTER BEDROOM TODAY - THE ORIGINAL HOUSE HAD WINDOWS THAT WERE SO SMALL YOU WERE UNABLE TO ENJOY THE VIEW, SO WE ADDED LARGE WINDOWS AND CREATED A GREAT PLACE TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING.
ADDITION OF A SUNROOM AND GUEST ROOM
BOTH ROOMS HAVE SLIDING DOORS THAT OPEN ONTO A SCREENED IN PORCH AND DECK. WE KEPT THE ADDITION WITH PLANK CEILINGS LIKE THE ORIGINAL HOUSE...THE GUEST ROOM HAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHANDELIERS WHICH I HAVE DRAGGED FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE OVER THE LAST 15 YEARS, AND IT DID NOT REALLY WORK WITH A MODERN FARMHOUSE...HOWEVER, IT WORKED WELL IN THE GUEST ROOM...MY HUSBAND WONDERS WHY I KEEP A STORAGE ROOM FULL OF PIECES WE DON'T USE-THIS IS WHY. I WILL ADMIT THAT THE BLUE SOFAS WERE NOT MY FIRST CHOICE BUT WE ADDED THE ADDITION DURING COVID AND THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES I COULD GET QUICKLY-BY THAT I MEAN 12 WEEKS. THEY WILL PROBABLY END UP BEING RECOVERED IN A CREAM WHEN THE GRANDCHILDREN ARE A LITTLE OLDER.
BELOW IS THE OLD LIVING ROOM WHICH WE TURNED INTO A GAME AREA THAT OPENS UP INTO THE NEW ADDITION. THE OLD FARMHOUSE IS QUIRKY BUT IT HAS BEEN FUN TO RENOVATE. PAINTING BY TWIN, CHANDELIER FROM MASTERPIECE LIGHTING IN ATLANTA GA.
FRONT ENTRY HALLWAY
FRONT ENTRY BEFORE AND AFTER ...THE ADDITION OF THE GLASS DOOR AND RECESSED LIGHTING HAS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE - MAKING THE FRONT LIGHT AND AIRY!
FURNITURE-I LOVED THE OLD SIDEBOARD BUT DID NOT LIKE THE WOOD, SO I PAINTED IT AND IT IS PERFECT!

I found the chairs at Le Chateau and had them upholstered in a flamestitch fabric from Travis & Co.
MASTER BATHROOM
I REDESIGNED THE BATHROOM AND ADDED A SHOWER TO THE RIGHT (YOU CANNOT SEE IT IN THIS PHOTO) AND MOVED THE TOILET OVER TO ACCOMODATE A PAIR OF SINKS AND CABINETRY. THE BLUE IS A CUSTOM MIX THAT TOOK ME FOREVER TO COME UP WITH...WE WANTED IT TO GO WITH THE PAINTING BY NOAH DESMOND. ANTIQUE MIRRORS AND LIGHTING ALL FROM LE CHATEAU ON HOWELL MILL.
AFTER ABOVE/BEFORE BELOW
STUDY
Artwork by Alice Williams. Sofa from Kravet with fabric by Pindler.
KITCHEN
I DESIGNED THE KITCHEN BELOW AND WAS INSPIRED TO ADD THE BRICK ON THE WALL FROM HER CHINA PLATES IN THE CABINET. MY DESIGN OF THE VENT HOOD GAVE EVERYONE FITS, BUT IT WORKED OUT IN THE END. THE FARM SINK CAME FROM FERGUSONS, AND I FOUND THE PIECE BEHIND THE STOVE AND THE IRON PIECE ON THE STOVE AT SCOTTS ANTIQUE MARKET, HAD IT SANDBLASTED AND THEN PAINTED. A NUMBER OF THE PIECES OF CHINA IN THE CABINETS WERE THE CLIENTS, BUT I ADDED A FEW MORE...YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH CHINA!
|
|
AFTER ABOVE/BEFORE BELOW
THE THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE WHEN THE CLIENT PURCHASED THE CONDO...THEY NEEDED MORE CABINET SPACE SO I SKETCHED OUT MY IDEA TO MAKE THE OPENING SMALLER AND THE CONTRACTOR DID THE REST.
|
|
|
GIRLS BATHROOM
AFTER IMAGES ABOVE/BEFORE BELOW-THE CURTAIN FABRIC IS BY JANE SHELTON AND PURCHASED FROM TRAVIS AND COMPANY AT ADAC. WITHOUT A DOUBT, IT IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE SHOWER CURTAIN I HAVE EVER HAD MADE...BUT IT IS BEAUTIFUL. HOWEVER, I HAD TO HAVE A GLASS PARTITION INSTALLED ON THE TUB/SHOWER BEHIND THE CURTAIN BECAUSE MY CLIENT TAKES IT DOWN IN THE SUMMER WHEN HER GIRLS ARE HOME FROM COLLEGE AND THEN PUTS IT BACK UP WHEN THEY LEAVE. THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THE ONLY CLUE TO HER HUSBAND THAT IT WAS EXPENSIVE. THE SINK CAME FROM FERGUSONS. THE BASE CABINET CAME FROM LE CHATEAU AND WE HAD A MARBLE TOP AND BACKSPLASH ADDED. THE ANTIQUE MIRROR AND SCONCES ALSO FROM LE CHATEAU. PAINTING BY STEVE PENLEY.

FOYER AND ENTRY HALL
|
|
Artwork - Gary Bodner
The chairs and chest are from Le Chateau. I had them add onto the legs of the chairs so that they would be tall enough. The Fabric is Brunschwig & Fil, and I found the candlesticks and the pot at Antiques and Beyond. |
DINING/SITTING ROOM
|
Before Left and After Above
This is simply a gorgeous dining room. The dining chairs and chandelier came from Le Chateau. Chair fabric is Cowtan & Tout. The paintings are by Barrett Edwards. The glass birds in the back corner are by Hans Godo Frabel. The dining table is custom from Beau Holland Studio. The curtain fabric is by Bunny Williams from Kravet. The Chairs by Century Furniture are some of my favorites because they are "vegan leather"...you can even draw on it with a pen and it will come off...truly amazing!!!
This is simply a gorgeous dining room. The dining chairs and chandelier came from Le Chateau. Chair fabric is Cowtan & Tout. The paintings are by Barrett Edwards.

PATIO
The patio was a disaster before but it was the most fun I ever had designing an outdoor area. I found the fountain pieces at a place on Cheshire Bridge and then put it all together...
Backyard before and my design of fountain.

LAKE FRONT DINING EXPANSION
LAKE TIAK-O'KHATA RESORT IN MISSISSIPPI
MAX AND I ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO ENJOY THIS VIEW FOR BOTH COFFEE AND COCKTAILS TWO WEEKS A MONTH!
LAST YEAR, MY FAMILY HIRED ME TO RENOVATE AND EXPAND ONE OF THEIR SMALL DINING ROOMS BECAUSE IT HAD THE BEST VIEWS OF THE LAKE, AS WELL AS ADDING A PATIO AND BOARDWALK.
NOW EVERYONE WHO VISITS LAKE TIAK-O'KHATA CAN ENJOY THE BEST VIEW IN THE HOUSE!
