A Welcoming Golden Foyer
Apr 09 2013 · 0 comments · Behind the Design, My Designs ·1
As a designer, one of the most thrilling aspects of my job is seeing a space totally transformed. Sometimes we are charged with refreshing a space that has good bones both architecturally and design-wise (see The Blitz video of Gina’s Living Room). Other times, we are starting from scratch and take a space all the way from drab to fab. Today I have one such transformation to share with you…
We started with a very vanilla entry located in a petite home in Boston’s Back Bay:
What we finished with is a Foyer that welcomes family and friends and reflects the young owner’s fearlessness and great sense of adventure in design:
The gold gild wall covering was complimented by the paint trim so all the surfaces blend seamlessly. The umimaginative recessed lighting was embellished with suspended Swarovski crystals in amber. The doors were replaced with a more sophisticated panel design that was papered in the center for more drama.
I simply love the lushness of what I like to call The Most Fab Carpet Ever from my go-to resource: Colony Rug.
Finally, I thought you might enjoy a quick peek of the “behind the scenes” from the photo shoot ~ it was a 100 degree day with no air conditioning and dear Randy did everything to capture the perfect shot ~ and capture it he did!
