Making your mark...

I have had the opportunity to work with a client who like many of our clients, has a specific vision and has asked for our design services to turn that vision into reality. This particular project is a perfect example of what we mean when we say "the DETAILS are what make the spaces spectacular". Ellie has worked with this client from the ground up and has made each inch of this house functional and special... even when it comes to the 8" strip of wood floor, in the doorway, that separates the Master Suite from the Hallway. The master suite floor has been stained very rich and dark, while the hallway has a beautiful nutmeg glow. So, how can we make that transition without doing the normal transition strip? We have an Artist paint a design to divide the two. Not only that... but because these owners will the first to dwell in the home and have made it custom for their family... we decided to make a unique design that signifies their accomplishment and notates them as the first to reside here. Initially - Monogram comes to mind. Then, it is mentioned that being able to see it both ways would be ideal. Also, to have a more discreet design would be more visually appealing. After playing with the letters quite a few times... this is what I came up with. Can you make out the letters? Lastly we added a border to make the transition smooth between the two wood tones.
