ASID Design Excellence First Place Residential – Best Individual Room (Traditional) This dining room was created by Michael Merrill Design Studio from a space originally intended to serve as both living room and dining room - both "formal" in style. Our client loved the idea of having one gracious and warm space based on a Santa Fe aesthetic. Photos © Paul Dyer Photography

DOWNLOAD NOW   This client came to us in a bit of a panic when she realized that she really wanted her bathroom to be updated by March 1st due to having 2 daughters getting married in the spring and one graduating. We were only about 5 months out from that date, but decided we were up for the challenge. The beautiful historical home was built in 1896 by an ornithologist (bird expert), so we took our cues from that as a starting point. The flooring is a vintage basket weave of marble and limestone, the shower walls of the tub shower conversion are clad in subway tile with a vintage feel. The lighting, mirror and plumbing fixtures all have a vintage vibe that feels both fitting and up to date. To give a little of an eclectic feel, we chose a custom green paint color for the linen cabinet, mushroom paint for the ship lap paneling that clads the walls and selected a vintage mirror that ties in the color from the existing door trim. We utilized some antique trim from the home for the wainscot cap for more vintage flavor. The drama in the bathroom comes from the wallpaper and custom shower curtain, both in William Morris’s iconic “Strawberry Thief” print that tells the story of thrushes stealing fruit, so fitting for the home’s history. There is a lot of this pattern in a very small space, so we were careful to make sure the pattern on the wallpaper and shower curtain aligned. A sweet little bird tie back for the shower curtain completes the story...

I'm sure you will agree that there is nothing more pleasing then a well organized home. A custom closet allows you to organize your shoes and clothing so that everything has its place. Your new custom closet will be specifically designed just for you to be aesthetically pleasing as well as easy to navigate. Wouldn't it be nice to have all of your work clothes in one section, dress clothes in another section, jeans and sweatshirts in there own sections and then of course, plenty of room for all of your shoes, purses, belts and & ties.
