Van Tassel Project
A Little Bit of Everything
Do you have one of those rooms in your home where everything goes, even if it doesn't make sense? Plus, you need a space for an office that ends up jammed into a corner? This homeowner knew this was not a keeper.

Now This Is a Guest Room!
The homeowner desperately needed storage. This built-in was designed to do just that and so much more. Although I designed it, Classic Home Improvement built it, and together we collaborated to create this beautiful piece. Many memories have been captured in this built-in, which delighted the homeowner.
The Mural really was the main feature of the room. All color choices were based on the Mural. A very soft and soothing effect. Wouldn't you like to wake up and see that in the morning?

You can certainly rest beautifully in this brand new bed and bedding. In fact, you may not want ot get out of it. Again, the beautiful green bedding reflects a color in the Mural, as well as the additional pillows.

Really? This Is An Office?
So, would you feel inspired in this space? I don't think so and neither did the homeowner.
Office Before...
Let's Talk Color
I asked the homeowner what color would he like to see in his office and blue was the answer, but what shade of blue?As a Certified True Colour Specialist, I was able to identify two possibiities and this was the final answer. I used the same color but in a different finish to create the stripe.
Every office needs a Reading Corner to relax. This leather and herringbone chair is a perfect complement to the overal color in the space. It is so comfortable that he may find himself sitting there quite often.
And that rug! It's as if it was made just for this space with their name on it. It is so soothing to walk on barefooted if you dare.
The desk is a stunning piece made by Quality Wood Furniture. I selected the stain and wood choice with the homeowner and it is as solid as you can get. Compared to being stuck in a corner before, this is an absolute delight to spend time on the computer. There is a lateral file and bookcase that was also made for the office.

Prescious Memories & Inspiration
The homeowners enjoy going to little unique shops and antique shops. They have picked-up a number of really beautiful pieces. The two lamps are an example of their treasures, which were an inspiration to the overall aesthetic of the two rooms.

The homeowner is also a collector of beautiful perfume bottles that were displayed in one grouping, but we separated them out so she can enjoy them in the many spaces of the room. These are the details that make a home interesting and special.

It's All In The Details
You can put on any wallplate as there are many to choose but why not take the opportunity to make the space really special. After all, it's part of the overall look, and a simple and affordable way to spruce up a space, as well.
