It's All In The Details

“Details create the big picture.”
~Sanford I. Weill
When planning a new project, I always start with the “big picture”. Space planning and furniture pieces along with paint colors and fabrics create the outline of a space and give us a road map to guide us to a finished room. Of course the fun really begins when we select the all-important details: the jewelry of a space that adds sparkle, polish and personality.
Here are a few of my favorite details from past projects.
This light fixture adds quite a punch of red as well as a conversation piece over a kitchen island , can you tell it is made of bottles of Campari sparkling soda from Italy?
This hand beaded sequined beaded pillow adds pizzazz to any sofa or chair, don’t you agree?
The design of a backsplash is a true highlight of the kitchen counter area because it is a vertical plane. Make it command attention with sparkling tile combinations as I’ve done here.
Crystal jewels on a chandelier catch the light during the day and night and create beautiful patterns and intricate shadows on the walls and ceiling.
Mirrors come in all shapes and sizes, be sure the reflection is worth the view. This shell encrusted showstopper is right at home in a seaside abode.
Every time you grasp a handle to open a cabinet be sure it fits your hand comfortably–and is a bit of eye candy too!
Selecting unique details to finish a room is one of my favorite parts of designing a space. I love seeing a vision come beautifully together, filled with memorable, personalized details!
