The Final Product

So, after what seems like an eternity, the House is over. The pool has been drained and the mail forwarded.
These are the final images of the rooms I worked on. I think they're rather nice.
The Bedroom canopy is candy striped silk reversing to blossom colored taffeta. The rug is, and I can't believe I am saying this, but multi colored shag. I think it's fab, and I never think shag is fab. The wall color is Grasshopper from Ben Moore, and the Chippendale accents are in Agave. I also did the crown in that great green as well (but you can't see it). All furniture is on loan from Baker, but the bed belongs to my dear gran, and the chair is on loan from a client.
The sewing room features many antiques. And that table in the middle was moved by 5 burly men, neither of which was me. We restored the lino floor to a nice mellow gloss and painted the walls in soft period colors. The light fixtures were also cleaned. The interior of the closets are painted out in a juicy color called Pomegranate. It's stunning with the green walls, black trim, and white doors. And, just for poops and giggles, I did the ironing board cover in leopard.
The hall got a three color treatment, new chair rail, Morris pattern shades (with onion fringe!!!) and a completely restored floor and light fixtures. Simple yet dramatic.
