Search results for "Great aunt" in Home Design Ideas

The Goody Nook, named by the owners in honor of one of their Great Grandmother's and Great Aunts after their bake shop they ran in Ohio to sell baked goods, thought it fitting since this space is a place to enjoy all things that bring them joy and happiness. This studio, which functions as an art studio, workout space, and hangout spot, also doubles as an entertaining hub. Used daily, the large table is usually covered in art supplies, but can also function as a place for sweets, treats, and horderves for any event, in tandem with the kitchenette adorned with a bright green countertop. An intimate sitting area with 2 lounge chairs face an inviting ribbon fireplace and TV, also doubles as space for them to workout in. The powder room, with matching green counters, is lined with a bright, fun wallpaper, that you can see all the way from the pool, and really plays into the fun art feel of the space. With a bright multi colored rug and lime green stools, the space is finished with a custom neon sign adorning the namesake of the space, "The Goody Nook”.

What designer could pass on the opportunity to buy a floating home like the one featured in the movie Sleepless in Seattle? Well, not this one! When I purchased this floating home from my aunt and uncle, I undertook a huge out-of-state remodel. Up for the challenge, I grabbed my water wings, sketchpad, & measuring tape. It was sink or swim for Patricia Lockwood to finish before the end of 2014. The big reveal for the finished houseboat on Sauvie Island will be in the summer of 2015 - so stay tuned.

What was once the upstairs attic is now a tranquil retreat at the end of busy days exploring! Boat loads of clutter was carted away, the room was fitted with new electricity, radiators, windows, plaster - the existing old terrazzo floor remained - plus a new exit door to the rooftop altana. The gondola-inspired headboards (one also in the downstairs twin bedroom) were designed by the architect as a convenient solution to opening the windows at night to allow for air flow. All curtain rods in the apartment were fashioned from inox, per the architect's instructions, and handcrafted in Sacramento before being shipped. Century-old watercolors by a great-aunt now have pride of place on the Venetian plaster walls, and along with the antique Persian rug (not visible). the home-made bedspread and the 1920s flea market side tables, this room now conveys an easy, laid-back, yet sophisticated, aura!
