a beach before and after

Uncategorized / November 4, 2013

this summer i worked with a family from raleigh on a condo they purchased as a rental unit at the beach. it came furnished, with all this terrible overdone oriental-inspired furniture which didn’t suit the beach at all. we had a tight timeline – about a month, and the budget needed to stay in the extra-reasonable range since the unit was going to be rented out only. we stripped out the carpet, put down a lovely beachy grey pergo floor, took out the popcorn ceiling, and i furnished the unit primarily with catalog purchases and a couple of shopping trips around town scouting for deals and statement pieces. here are a few before and afters (apologies for the iphone pics):

"Date 1944. Sorority sisters at the University of Texas." by sdasfvrce in OldSchoolCool
On East Lake Shore Drive, this co-op project combined 2 separate units last updated in the '60s into 1 lavish apartment with a gut-remodel, relocating the kitchen to the front of the apartment overlooking the lake.  Interior by Summer Thornton Designter bath, Thornton juxtaposed diagonal swaths of Calacatta Monet marble with Breccia stone to distract from the room’s asymmetrical layout while providing a unique take on tradition, highlighted by the Waterworks fixtures and a freestanding tub by Ann Sacks. The oak paneling was detailed with black molding, a reference to the hand-painted ceiling in the living room.
