My clients have been in their House for about 4 months & as she says-"it's beginning to look like Home,"-that is always music to My ears. I dropped in today to put some flowers together for an event at the house and took some photographs.
Some rooms are wanting- Some want for nothing.
It is a process.
Here in PIECES- the House that is becoming a Home.
Where will this chair be in another 6 months?
just Wait & See.
.
I love the fabrics and upholstered pieces--the blue/gray of the dining room is deep and warm, unexpected for a blue. Please show me more. Mary
ReplyDeleteVery nice, little details make a major impact.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a house I should like! It looks very livable and relaxed. Good to see the components and glimpses of the whole. As to the baroque painted chair ... If that's not something to build a room around or treat as a piece of sculpture, I don't know what is.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors!!!
It does feel like home, lived-in, and real.
Jones, In the Dining we have talks of a Gracie paper at some point-the grey was a happy ending til then. There is a silver leaf tea paper on the ceiling in there that I did not feature. I hope to illuminate various rooms as time goes on.
ReplyDeleteF&F, I agree the details can make all the difference!
Blue, it does have those modern elements that I think you prefer. Young clients with young children and interested in a real mix of styling. The chair has moved from Living Room to Foyer- between my client and I we have an ongoing musical chairs! It is one of a pair. The 1930's French loveseat in the plum mohair is in the Foyer-Walls in there are a plum brown horsehair paper. pgt
ReplyDeleteBruce, the colors are very soothing, and a number of rooms on the monochromatic side-the Library-green lacquer walls is by far the most colorful on the lower level. The green hanging glass chandelier is in the Master and that is otherwise a soft green with some grays and pinks.
ReplyDeletestunning, not run of the mill but so sensual and elegant, so much character.
ReplyDeletelove the way you arranged the pictures on the post.

Ulla, thank you so much. the house is loved. new with details to create that old house look. we have a ways to go-but that is part of the fun in a sense. I appreciate your eye, means a lot that you find them unique. Gaye
ReplyDeletewow -some great details. I can't wait to see the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, and your work on the house. I would like to make a suggestion about your photography. You might fool around with taking your photos without a flash. For me, the difference in the way pictures look in natural light is amazing. See if it would work for you. Sometimes, it depends on the time of day in the room, the sunniest time or one with great shadows, and over riding your flash setting. Sometimes there is a little bit of a blur, but that can look very romantic. At any rate, your design is wonderful and your blog is always enchanting. :)
ReplyDeleteLoving the colours and quite taken with that dusty mauve sofa!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! A delight to peak behind the scenes and see your fine work!
Stefan, thank you. Yes, more to come in the fall.
ReplyDeleteThea, that sofa! I purchased at Randall Tysinger and the fabric was pretty horrid. When the mohair went on it- I really did not recognize it when I went by on Thursday- a real shockingly pleasant surprise. Yes the lines caught my eye and it was well worth it. pgt
Dandy, thank you. I will take these great suggestions under advisement. Honestly some of the photos were so dark in a 2 o'clock sun a number in the natural light were unusable.. I usually am snapping on the run and I don't always focus- as it were! pgt
ReplyDeleteLove that white table and the light fixtures in the kitchen....might I inquire the source....I would gladly draw for it!

I 'specially like what looks like a linen curtain with a vertical border of birds - the arrangement of fold and border.
ReplyDeleteAnd you'd know you were finally grown up when you had your Gracie wallpaper!

Gaye - it looks lovely!! I particularly like all your lighting choices. I can't wait to see more and what you have planned for that chair!!
ReplyDeleteReally nice artwork. Client's own ?
ReplyDeletePVE- You have only to ask!
ReplyDeleteRouge- the curtain in the bath- that is a Lisa Fine fabric and a very wide grosgrain type trim-the fabric lent itself to the design well.
Q. thanks, a lot of attention was put into the lighting-it is so important.
Suzanne, of course! She has collected for a good while and is a patron of the galleries and museums in the state. pgt
ReplyDeleteGayle,
ReplyDeleteThis home is just a breath of fresh air, clean lines, chic, and stunning...thank you for sharing! Would you mind telling me more about the plum horsehair on the walls?
from a subject on this blog & dear friend DO.

Gaye That house is absolutely beautiful. You DO know just how to create an atmosphere that is also so livable and has drama.. beautiful ! beautiful! I am sure that every one is saying "Ohs " and "ahs" at every turn..Love Dorothy
Oh, I love it! I've so enjoyed seeing the photos as the work was underway -- it looks great to see these sneak peeks of the finished work. That bathroom wall is super cool!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I love the color palate.
ReplyDeleteGaye - it's really beautiful - I'm so greedy; I want to see the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteLife of Style, thank you. the paper is by Philip Jefferies.
ReplyDeleteTownhouse- I'm glad you came to see what is coming of the place! The bathroom- powder is tile-that is the green. The master bath is a handpainted paper to appear as shagreen.
Belle de Ville, I have enjoyed playing with these colors-Using grey somewhat thru-out the entire lower level, but varying it to evoke different moods rather than just "gray" has been exciting. thank you.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Blandings, Thanks! I will show more as we perfect it- and we will to the degree-that a house must be a home and both my client and I refuse to perfect it too too much. Gaye
ReplyDeleteThank you and forgive me for posting Gayle when I know in fact it is Gaye!
ReplyDeleteLovely blog. I found you via "synchronizing". I like the nod to the golden era in movies, your interior design work and your interesting choices in your sidebar. I'll be back!
ReplyDeleteI have poured over this post, loving every last bit. Congratulations - your work is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteCa. Girl, thanks much!
ReplyDeleteNotting- appreciate the compliments, as with the good projects it is a collaboration!
incredible and beautiful and brilliant- clearly mirroring the collaborators-
ReplyDeletewhat a thrill it is to see this!
WOW! Loving all the details, the fabrics, the grass cloth...the fixtures the ARTWORK! Heavenly!!!
