Ready to see how I glam’d up a foyer for my wonderful clients Cathy and Charles in Fleetwood, NY?
THE DESIGN PLAN
1. get a new light fixture (that’s glamorous!)
2. paint walls, door frames, mouldings/trims
3. paint the stairs risers (so steps looks like they are floating)
4. add artwork
My clients were not happy with their existing wall paint color (a mustard-like eeew color hue) NOR the stenciled borders that their new home came with. We kept getting the giggles every time we looked at the ultra-outdated stencils. Bye bye stencil.
THE AFTER PHOTOS
Here’s how it now looks. What do you think of it?
I love when my clients use their own art bec it makes the space even more personal to them (remember my company motto: …. to illuminate my clients personality within their home <- ok, it may be a bit corny, but so true to my heart. I love my clients, every one of them are special and unique, just like their homes. Ok, back to the photos … we went through a stack of photos to get a travel theme (since my clients love to travel) .. making sure the photo colors, size, and styles flowed perfectly for the space. I don’t zoom in on the photos to keep my clients privacy in tact (they had some AMAZING photos of their European travels), but here are more overall pics:
Here’s another peek of before (after the walls were painted) ….
And, the after (I looooove the serenity and glam of this space) ….
Dont’cha love the painted stair risers .. I luv how the steps look – like they are elegantly floating. BTW, did you notice the railing on the stairs? The before photo has it on the left side, and the after photo shows it on the right side. Yup, we had it removed (wall patched up), new one (showing the wood tones / not the mustard-like paint color) installed to the right side since my clients are right handed it made sense to relocated for their convenience.
