fireplace wall

The fireplace wall anchors the sitting area. The wall houses the fireplace, television, storage for the DVD player and accessories.

The wall covering in the powder room is an over scaled toile with a garden motif. A look I love.

Entry St Louis Living Green Showhouse 2008

Featured in St Louis Home and Lifestyle Magazine

For the entry of the Living Green Showhouse I wanted to show that "green" can also be sophisticated. A bit of glam along with natural products and renewed furniture help to create the beautiful style of the home's entry.

Guest Bedroom Featured in Better Homes and Garden Special Publication Bedrooms and Baths Spring 2004

I designed this bedroom for the 2002 St Louis Symphony Showhouse. The dormer windows, angled ceiling and the worn wood floor are all a part of the charm of the bedroom. A painted bed, embroidered organdy fabric at the windows and a vintage glass chandelier further enhance the charm of the room. A color scheme of deep red, gray-blue, light green and off white help to create a feeling of comfort and seclusion.

The sofa and the upholstered chair are vintage pieces that have been renewed. The display cabinet is a reclaimed piece that has been restructured and painted. The floral print on the window treatment fabric is part of the China Rose Collection from Designers Guild.

Sitting Room St Louis Symphony Showhouse 2004 Featured in St Louis Homes and Lifestyle Magazine November 2004

This sitting room is about mixing modern with classic. The neutral palette of birch, hemp and stone is punctuated with crimson, satchel and woodland. The walls are covered with custom decorative paintings that create the illusion of bas relief.
