Real Decorating: What I've been working on the last few months...

Greetings all,

I've been pretty busy the last several months working on a few projects of various sizes and so, my blogging has been sporadic at best.....but thought it would be fun to show you all what it is that has kept me away.

A very nice house in Mount Kisco, the gardens are spectacular and we've been working to get them ready for summer. 



Above are two views of the house from the pond.




Looking at the dogwoods




Everything's trimmed and the stone is all tidy.




The pool and back porch....just need some smalls. Love the copper tables.




The guest cottage has new copper and roof.

The main house was going to have only a little work done to it, but as with most things it's grown. We found these great old beams under the 1980's redo....you can see the marble floors and wet bar in what the previous  owners called 'the ballroom'....it's just a cottage!



The dressing room is where there used to be a hall and some unfortunate closets.



Above is a concept sketch for the room.



The library will hold about 5000 books.




The 'ballroom' will become a warm family room with a 23'sofa a la the Topkapi palace......found a great 19th c rug. All chic tones, simple fabric and some high style furniture....shopping shopping as well as making sure the interior architecture and materials all do what they should.......well. that's what we're up to here. 

Until next time.
