Install of the Day !
Hi !
Just before Thanksgiving we installed this amazing home in Eastover. Amazing because the architecture itself is beautiful and happily my client's the Ferguson shared a lot of the same ideas for the interior so we all knew we could create something beautiful.
Designed by one of my favorites - Frank Smith (who created another beauty I am working on right now) this home was built in 2005 and has all the architecture detail I love, slate roof, gorgeous moldings, open living to dining and huge kitchen with paneled ceiling and hidden storage as well as plenty of small side spaces for office, bar, scullery and mud room, it's a gem. Featured in Southern Accents back in 2008 it was time, however, for a little update, fresh colors, tweaked kitchen and new styling but what a pleasure to work on a home designed so beautifully to begin with! Thinks well designed and built stand the test of time.
This space is dramatic yet approachable and comfortable !
Front the dining room through the double set of double doors you reach the heart of the house, the kitchen and breakfast room. How beautiful is this woodwork !
We had the island and original banquette taken out and added a new larger island, created a new concrete and reclaimed wood beam hood installed and changed all the colors to white.
New pendants and that gorgeous back splash are stunners.
Just off the kitchen, another little space, the side entrance turned wet bar and quite corner.
Ship lap was added and painted a lighter charcoal. New Hunter Douglas blinds and re purposed pieces from their previous home.
A small, small powder room, too small to even shoot just off this space. The paper we chose though is killer.
The kitchen feeds into the family room with a warm fireplace at the back of the house. This entire area, kitchen through den is the coziest part of the house and I would image countless hours spent with family in these rooms. I love the bright and eclectic look all in shades of white.
Lastly this basically untouched powder room . . . it was gorgeous as is ! Dark and moody navy with touches of brass . . .

Enter the Foyer . . . our color palette started at the front door and worked its way through. My go to off white - Ben Moore China White, it never fails. It's a warmer white that doesn't turn cream. We kept it simple and clean without a lot of fuss. Art pieces by Shain Galleries - Karen Hollingsworth and another piece by Hayley Mathews

The front living room we created has such a grand, yet casual feel. Gorgeous french doors and mantle as well as the cross beams all keepers and now just showcased with cleaner colors and furnishings. I chose two modern style sofas in a rich charcoal velvet with embroidered graphic pillows that pop over top a simple shag rug. Flanking huge fiddle figs for a little color !

We kept the detail of the two built in shelves leading to the dining room, just re-styled.
This space is dramatic yet approachable and comfortable !
Your view from the living room is into the dining space. I adore this room ! We went back for forth a bit on it's style but landed on this gorgeous grass cloth wall paper by Windy O'Connor. Switching out the one chandelier for 2 and mixing the Ferguson's traditional sideboard and table with more modern chairs and black metal cabinets. It's such a pretty view from the living room and as you walk down the long hall the back back of the house.
One of the smaller rooms off the front living room is a quite little office, a new coat of fresh charcoal paint and new lighting mixed with new pieces.

The tusk chandelier, large art and chair brighten the space and add the depth.

The Forever House
Hey !
I am literally sitting in a yard chair on the deck in Brevard watching my subs this morning. It's early and as my Mom would say, the air is "delicious." We have concrete counters going in the kitchen, more tile happening in the bathrooms and my Charlotte painters are on the way to tackle the entire outside - picky as I am I wanted to make sure the color was right, meet the gas guy and watch this concrete counter procedure, it's amazing !!
While Mudwerks in Charlotte are the best around, getting on their schedule is next to impossible so I was thrilled when they recommended Eli Orling of Orling Interiors in Asheville. Check out his site, he's quit the artist and I'm thrilled. Both he and Eric (of Mudworks) trained and worked with Stephen Balser of Art in Construction out of Brooklyn, who is pretty amazing as well... Ok, I am getting sidetracked, I'll get into my love of plaster and concrete later..
So while I am eagle eyeing everything happening at the house I am firmly planted on my porch so I thought I'd write this little post about an upcoming job I am working on. What prompted this post was the fact that Eric, of Mudwerks did the concrete hood in the kitchen as well as the fireplace surround. It was worth the wait. All the messy part is done on this project on Fenton, now it's time for the pretty stuff - though I will say all the carpentry and mill work they did in the house is pretty fab ...
This home belonged to a designer in Charlotte and was featured in Southern Living I think back in the day. For it's time it was pretty perfect style wise. Architect, Frank Smith incorporated so many timeless elements which we embraced and certainly didn't want to change, just freshened up, painted everything in sight, reconfigured the kitchen island a bit and worked on the bathrooms. The entire house is classic and timeless.
The Front Living Room has the same clean and simple feel with two new dark charcoal velvet sofas underneath a gorgeous wood beamed ceiling original to the house. Pulling in a few high texture pillows and rug and mixing in some of her art. Simple and comfortable.
The view from this room into the Dining Room was important to me and needed to blend perfectly. After a little debate (lol Lindsay) we decided to go slightly more formal in there, yet not overly dressy. I have always been obsessed with this paper from Windy O'Connor and being printed on a grass cloth was the selling factor.. it's gorgeous. Great view into the this space.
Take a peek at the texture on these sofa pillows...
Just off the Living Room, a small but pretty dramatic office. Painted a dark grey, almost black we lightened it up with light furniture and this pretty killer chandelier called "Banana Husk."
An off white Eames chair and a touch of Malachite in the side table as well as the hardware on the built ins.. pretty yummy.
The view from the this Dining Room back into the Living Room I love. Very cohesive.
Two black metal side cabinets with white backs will break it up a bit and the waffled glass chandeliers will dress it up as well. A light, light seagrass rug custom to fit and 12.. yes 12 dining chairs in an off white faux leather.
Recently completed the Wet Bar area just off the kitchen. We added ship lap in a dark grey and Lindsay had these custom cabinets made complete with floating shelves with brass brackets and a little more Addison Weeks hardware. It's a pretty party spot tucked back into the space.
It's located just off the kitchen which got a big face lift with new paint and a new island.
If you spin around you see the Family Room. Reworked existing sofa and chair with a few new additions, lighting, coffee table and curtains.
Looking back into the Kitchen, again the cohesion is good !
Heading upstairs the Master Bathroom needed a big overhaul. Lindsay and I worked on a few of the details together, but honestly she has great taste and I was just a sounding board. Love the finish product !
We are still working on the Master Bedroom a bit, dresser and rug being debated !
I am obsessed with this house and cannot wait to get it underway. Should be a showstopper . . . stay tuned.

Now this client has great taste to begin with, so it's been fun pulling this together. We have very similar styles and with all the options out there we have been back and forth a lot fine tuning. After meeting and tweaking on Friday I think we have it nailed down....
Per usual... I started at the front door and worked my way back.
The entire first floor with the exception of the Powder Room, Wet Bar and Dining Room we painted Ben Moore China White. What a huge difference it made. The entire house is cleaner and brighter.
My plan is to keep the Entry Foyer clean and simple with a new console, lamps and mirror. Simple lines, interesting pieces . .

I found these two art pieces just today and want to show Lindsay. Love the introduction of books in a modern, artistic way - we'll see.
Onto the Dining Room with this show stopping wall paper. The pattern is perfect and when printed on a grass cloth it's pretty amazing.

New pendants . . .
. . . which we are STILL waiting on after being bumped not once but twice. If I didn't love them so much I'd reselect.. good grief Visual Comforts !!!
Take a look at the site visit shot from the other day . . .
This is the hood I was talking about earlier. concrete with vintage wood lip to tie back to the wood used in the Living Room. Check out the pretty ceiling, original to the house. We didn't change much except painted everything and re-worked the island with new marble top.
If you spin around you see the Family Room. Reworked existing sofa and chair with a few new additions, lighting, coffee table and curtains.
I proposed this gorgeous rug, theirs works .. we'll see but I do love this one !
