This hallway was completely transformed with the addition of wainscoting, new baseboards, and crown moulding. A fresh coat of white paint brightened everything up, and by painting the coat closet doors a glossy black, we created a dramatic focal point. The lantern is available through High Street Market- click here.
This dining room is one of my favorite rooms. Again, trim changes EVERYTHING. We wallpapered the upper walls with a tailored grasscloth, added wall sconces for additional lighting, and painted the ceiling a pale shade of blue/grey (Farrow & Ball "Skylight"). My client says that the blue/grey color changes with the sunlight throughout the day-- how lovely is that?!
This year, we continue to move forward with the interior design of this gorgeous home (next up, a completely redesigned mudroom, as well as a new master bedroom). I'm excited to share the transformation as we go. But, by focusing on the architectural details (like wainscoting trim, crown moulding ,etc) you frame everything else in the space more beautifully. And, it's amazing what a simple can of paint can do!

Looks really great. What a fabulous transformation taking that old archway out has made. Looks like a completely different space. Great job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Kelly! You're so right, giving the rooms great bones lends so much gravitas. Just makes the rest of your details that much more elegant.
ReplyDeleteGreat insight. I feel like I'm more prepared
ReplyDeletethen most and continue to be freaked out daily.
No matter how much I prepare I know that there is so much more to do. Good luck up in Canada and God's speed.
Lovely Read!

Crown molding makes such a difference, and it's so often overlooked. I love what you have done here!
