Perfect Passageways Part 2

Niches are fun little alcoves to which we can bring the perfect design. Moving this homeowner's art to another location made room for our parallel design of over-scaled dandelions and kangaroo paws. Sometimes three dimensional designs work best in small pass through areas such as this. The requirement was to "make it fun and happy"; mission accomplished!

Perfect Passageways

The walls we pass by in our hallways deserve as much attention as other spaces we decorate. Our client's floating keepsake sconce was brought down to eye level and accented with grasses. The antique filled the visual space while making it feel comfortable. This hall now echos the inviting attitude in the house to create a sense of completeness.

Custom Glamour

Serenity reigns in the master suite with soothing orchids. We went on site and removed tired silk flowers to make way for a new spa inspired arrangement, rejuvenating the container.

Dining Table Solutions

This table needed a fresh looking timeless centerpiece. Our solution was botanically correct silk phalaenopsis orchids with green accents in a classic urn. This is more cost effective than having a fresh centerpiece every week or even keeping a plant alive. The white orchids awaken the senses while working with the fabric colors without trying to match them.

Getting the Party Started

 The party starts with a good conversation group. Our client wanted a living and game room space that naturally attracts guests to gather. Because the room does not have a television, we changed the furniture grouping from a theater style to a cozy circle more suitable for socializing and games.

Adding a live palm warmed the space; creating an inviting atmosphere. We positioned side tables to accommodate drinks or snacks as well as a lamp for additional lighting. Our client wanted to include two beloved art pieces from his travels, so we chose accent jars for the tables to bring their aqua hues into the space. Turquoise vases continued the accent color and balanced the mantle space. We finished the look with a silk ivy plant harmoniously grouped with candlesticks on the coffee table. This beautiful, simple space will invite guests to gather for years to come.  

Refined Home Office: Part 4

Removing the never played piano and floating the desk in the center of the office gave the illusion of more space. 

Refined Home office: Part 3

A new tall cut work black bookcase was added to accentuate the tall ceilings and holds books as well as frames. A few chunky accessories broke up the monotony of all reading material and created interest.

The homeowners' chair was re-positioned to face the desk. A soft gold throw brings out the wall
 color, a flower pillow brings texture and contrast. We gathered family photos from every wall, making one collage composition to state the importance of the collection.
