RIVERMONT DENTAL REVEAL

There is an upside to not blogging regularly and that is I have a backlog of content for you:)

Meaning.....I have another reveal...before and after for you today!  This was actually a commercial project that I completed before Christmas and I have to tell you that it was a labor of love!  I had a huge gallery wall to put together and Rose and I shopped relentlessly for the art.

I can tell you that it was very hard to part with most of it and that many of the pieces I found "as is" meaning I did not re-frame.  I did change out a few mats here and there. 

Here is where we started....that huge wall is the first thing you see when entering the office.

Here is what it looked like the day of the install....a very rainy day [and I had to carry in all these bins of art which was NOT FUN].

The counter tops had not been installed and the trim was still missing.  But the installer was booked so we had to carry on!

Check out the floors from Mill and Woods.  The herringbone is amazing!

Here we are trying to decide the gallery wall...it ain't easy folks!  I gotta tell ya:)

But after a few auditions I think we nailed it and he started hanging.....

This is a dental office and she added shelves in them so you would have something pretty to look at while they torture you...just kidding...not...

Here are some detail shots...

The reception.....countertop!

The beautiful trim....

The floors....

The Currey and Co chandelier....

The coffee station....

The bathroom......

Arteriors pendant.....

Before the curtains were installed!

After......

She gave me full control over the art and that was so freeing.....I also think that you can do a better job when clients do that!

Dr. Shima Shahrokhi is amazing and we had so much fun collaborating on this project....she had a very clear vision!

Hope you guys are having a good Sunday....it's cold as heck here in Atlanta today,

In other news...Cami is having a little nappy...

And I scored this vintage Bill Blass....made in Italy...cashmere coat at a thrift event for $15.00

Hot Damn people!

BEDROOM UPDATE AT PROJECT TOWNHOUSE

Well hello peeps!  I've missed you.....but I was down for a while with Covid!  Yup...I was kind of lax getting my booster and I actually thought it was just a cold as those were my symptoms but I noticed my taste and smell were off so that is what made me go to the drugstore and get a test.  

Luckily the few people I did have some contact with were not infected...... except Rose....and I like to share everything with her anyway:)  What was weird was that our symptoms were SO different....She had a fever and I never got one....and she did not lose her smell or taste. 

Anyway I still have the sniffles but feel pretty good over all.  A little tired in the afternoons....

I have a little update on one of my fav projects....it's the one that I did the bathroom for! I am sure all of you have been hearing about the supply chain problems so of course furniture has been slowly trickling in.

I am so used to getting it all in and then doing a major install but at this time I just don't want people to be waiting for things any longer.....

Anyway the bed finally arrived and I remember being so angst about ordering a camel colored bed but in the end I trusted my gut and boy am I glad I did!

This is the bed style I ordered from Bernhardt called the Cooper Wing Bed.

Remember when I installed this amazing Romo wallpaper on just the bed wall?

She already had these lamps so I just got some new shades...and that was an improvement right away!

I ordered these Noir night stands...I needed something that was not too deep as there is a closet door on one said and these were perfect.  Plus I knew I wanted black as they also had this amazing MCM dresser that they wanted to keep!

This is the dresser.....

Here is a closeup of the blinds I ordered....

After the light fixture was installed I found the most amazing vintage rug that was perfect!

Here is a closeup of the bed with the wallpaper....I don't know about you but I am in love!

And here she is in all of her glory.....I think the rug is the shining star!

I love when I room looks curated and I think one has that feeling with some vintage mixed in with the new....

She had the art so I hung it but it will eventually go in the bathroom as I found an amazing piece for this wall.  Need to get it framed first!

I also found a chest for under the TV....I looked long and hard for this as it needed to blend with both the MCM dresser and the black nightstands....

It still has a clean look but it is a darker finish than the dresser.....they really need storage since this  downsizing and I was so happy to find it!

I have been playing around with some accessories!

I also found an amazing mirror to go over the dresser but have not had a chance to get it hung yet!

Of course now I am in a dither to find a  lamp and some accessories.  It's always something:)

So it's been a little over 3 months since I lost my sister to cancer.  I still walk by her house everyday and think all the same things that everyone else thinks when they lose a loved one too soon.....I wish I could pick up the phone and call her.  As a family we are about to spend Thanksgiving in her new kitchen and it will be such a bittersweet moment as she had been talking about this renovation for a couple of years.

 I think the thing about death is... it's hard to realize sometimes how final it is....and of course there is always thoughts of "could I have done more"....other medical treatments that we could have tried....

Maybe it would have extended her life a few months but the outcome would have eventually been the same.

Hope you guys are all well.....
