My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Chairs.

10 years ago
Those are truly beautiful chairs. Where are they sourced from. The whole room has a look of red wood. The ornaments look like they have been carefully chosen to go perfectly with the wood, the books and the chairs.

    Hi Jedanna, Thank you for commenting on the room. The interior designer, Richard Keith Langham I believe purchased the chairs at auction and had them refinished and upholstered. I could be wrong on that... Regarding the wood - The room was completely paneled in Mahogany and stained to a dark brown tone and then finished with a hand waxed french polish technique. If by "ornaments" you are referring to the urns atop each pilaster of the bookcases...yes, I custom designed those to be carved and finished with the paneling. If you are referring to the many wonderful accessories in the room yes the designer selected beautiful pieces to finish the room. Thank you. Brian O'Keefe
