OK, So I can't truly fit in the fireplace. We've looked at some houses that I can totally stand up completely in the fireplace - the coolest thing! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The Club Room fireplace we didn't touch, how lucky that the space already had this focal point. What the room needed? A bar of course. A Club Room needs a space to mix a cocktail so you can sit in a leather sofa and relax. Am I the only one painting that picture? ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
It was an opportunity to lighten up the space with some furniture, a contrast to the dark walls. The mirror does that too, it helps reflect all the windows during the day and come evening balance all the lighting on the other side of the room as well. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Too early for happy hour? ⁠⁠

Have you had enough of this room? I thought not. I'm not known for moody work, but that's more about the clients I've had and what they are looking for. The little secret about this job, it's not about what we love to do all the time! Sometimes we are lucky enough that our projects align with our personal aesthetic. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This one - well this Club Room and Kitchen are projects I've had in my head for years! I love the idea of a 'huggable' room as Corine the client coined it. Layering and feeling like you could sink right in for a drink on the sofa. The room needed a leather chesterfield (it was calling for it, right?) and wing chairs. You can see I snuck plaid in 😀 So excited @ethanallen + @ethanallenportsmouth⁠ had it! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Appreciation to be shared all around for the team, but a thanks to these painters that were tireless on a TV timeline - SO much to do! And to my designers on this one, they were tireless too working with me through this entire project AND freezing their tushes off getting this space ready as it had no heat! @kt.dezign + @stephanie.ferraro.designs⁠⁠

Whose the mystery man in the center? GUESS!⁠⁠

So you all still like gallery walls? I do think sometimes people go nuts with them when they aren't always the right fit. But in this case this clubby space really wanted art layered in. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
So we went for it! But how to do that when you’re not actually working on a decorating project with a homeowner? Well that's a challenge for these HGTV projects! Honestly one of the biggest challenges of being involved in this. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
We start with working with local artists to see what might be available, what sizes and what actually works. @hilarybaldwin9 ⁠generously showed us so many pieces! From there it was about producing art, which you might already know by all my other posts that one of my designers is a fantastic artist, @kt.dezign, Katie did the rest of the paintings! My Mom and I went discount shopping for frames (think going to Goodwill combing through frames), spray painted anything that wasn't the right finish and then Katie made the pieces of art we needed to fit the layout! CRAZY but this process is so different than working on my normal design projects so we needed to adapt!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The fun fox? The homeowner had! We borrowed and snuck it in the gallery wall. I love it!!!⁠⁠
⁠⁠
What I think makes the gallery wall work so well is the deep color to set off the gold frames. What a challenge when pricing out the color. So happy with the outcome though. ⁠⁠
