The following photos are the product of looooooooooooong hours, and NOT much sleep. At any point had I reversed the camera to sneak a picture of myself, all readers would be horrified! The house was almost completely empty when I arrived on Thursday, July 30th. I will send before and afters later this week for fun. First, the Living Room...
Living Room, other side. Please note that we still need a few more pieces for the house throughout - as my friend and client mentioned, "this is still a work in progress!" Also one should note that we only began placing orders for this project on May 1st - most everything here is either a quick-ship upholstery item or an antique from 1st Dibs, and my shopping trips to Dallas, New Orleans, and Alabama. I must say that I was very very pleased that almost every single thing made it to Diego Delivery by my deadline. I guess that is where steady harassment gets you. :)
Fortuny tapestry and 18th century Italian gilded angel in the Dining Room.
Family Room... still working on this one!
Master Bedroom. Screen is from Crown and Colony Antiques in Fairhope, AL. The chair to the right is being re-upholstered in the same celedon linen as the settee as we speak.
Bedding is by Leontine Linens in New Orleans. Pillows are fortuny, color:Peacock! Endcaps are Calvin fabrics. Lamps by Visual comfort.
Library: Still a work in progress, and these photos are just not that great!
This is the upstairs guest/media Room. I have no photos of this room (the bed, etc).
My favorite time of day at this house was the late evenings, when the sun set over the back lawn and pool.
I designed this daybed/swing for reading, napping, relaxing. The rope came from a local shipyard in San Diego and I thought the guys helping would kill me during the installation of this heavy sucker! Bravo guys, they figured it out!
The four kiddos loved their new swing. :) This crew was the drive behind much of the design - the fabrics, especially in the kitchen and family room needed to be VERY kid friendly and practical. I think we achieved the goal, so far, at least!
Almost every night around dusk, the neighbors would fly hot-air balloons. REALLY???!! I want to lay on the swing.
