A different problem in the bedroom. The client wanted the drapes to be removed so they could access the French Doors leading to their cottage deck, However they needed new drapes, lined, that could create a black out effect to provide better sleep during the morning hours as they were light sensitive sleepers.

The view from the master bedroom is amazing. You can step out onto the large balcony to enjoy the sunset or sunrise, or simply lay in the custom finished bed from Habersham Plantation. Wide-plank pine floors adorn the floor of the suite and built-ins provide a place for books, a TV, family portraits and treasures. This floor was decorated with a refined cottage style in mind, although the large home rambles so it can’t be mistaken for a cottage. Custom draperies were created by Fringe Benefits.

The small breakfast area extends the kitchen space with a secondary eating location. A glass french door leads to the indoor-outdoor living area and screen room.

The two story foyer opens into a barrel vault ceiling with grand hanging light (and hanging crystal details). The two front door design uses full glass and iron detailing. The foyer leads into the formal dining room and open concept great room.

The grey trend has evolved in the last twelve months. Nowadays browns, beige and a touch of grey are in demand. Greige is the new buzzword. Heavier hand scraped or contoured products, the rage that started around 2005 has taken a back seat in most areas, while a softer wire brushed "ceruse effect" seen mostly on White Oak has been remarkably strong showing no effects of becoming “dated” like the others mentioned. Ceruse Color Possibilities There are numerous color combinations to the "cerused" process with the most popular being white or off white. This design trend in hardwood flooring can have darker gray white oak with a mild ceruse off white effect. There are limitless possibilities in either a prefinished hardwood floor or with what we can create for you in a custom on-site finished hardwood floor. If something suits your fancy, contact us and we can work on creating just the look and sense of style you are looking for.
