The Living Room,"before"

Here is Amanda's brand new living room, nicely furnished and functional.She has done a fine job of furniture placement. That sleek, skinny new TV could actually stay right there and not bother anybody. Well, except maybe me. I vote we hide it. And, as I'm not a fan of fans, we'll replace this one with some drama. What the heck. Let's replace EVERYTHING with some drama.......

The Mood Board

Here is the "mood board", a tool designers use to convey mood, theme, ideas, concepts, etc. Amanda, my client, "got" it right away.By the end of the project, it should all make sense.

The Mantle Close Up

Here is the mantle up close. I intend to paint the walls on either side and above the fireplace the two colors of red on the mood board. Because there are WAY too many squares in the room, some circle and odd shapes are called for. Maybe the mirror?

Warrior Statue in Media Room

This wacky warrior statue presides over the media room. I feel sure she had something in her hands at one time.
