In the past we’ve been known to tackle some decorating work, but we haven’t done much of it for a long time.  Recently, we were asked to take on a unique project: take a 1989 contemporary house with sleek lines inside and traditional  styling outside and transform it into something that would house a collection of antiques, paintings and furnishings that span the past 150 years and span the globe from Europe, to America, to Asia and somehow all still make sense.

Whew. This is going to be a challenge!

The client said to me, “Is it silly that we really love this house? It’s nothing like any of the other houses we’ve had before.”  Well that sounds like enough of a reason to buy the house to me – Adventure!

The project is still in progress, but we’ve posted some images here of the starting point and the early stages of the renovations.

The starting point…

The Furniture

This will give an idea of the sort of furniture that will be going into the house. This is the dining room table photographed in the clients previous house.
