THEME A passion for sports that never grows up, never grows old and never tires is at the heart of this room. Designed as a den/office for a radio sports talent who’s life work revolves around stats, scores, free agents and athletes, the room ensures that its owner is surrounded by the teams and games he loves, with room for storage, a desk, a computer station and some personal accents. FOCUS Four baseball stadium seats procured from the old Tiger Stadium in Detroit, repainted with a faux wood grain look and personalized with each member of the family’s name give the room a true sports feel. Favorite team jerseys as well as team logos — painted tan to match the overall look of the room — highlight the space. Large wall towers divide the room into three distinct spaces. The central area houses two TV monitors and a hidden computer system, while the other two areas display oversized family photos in sepia tone prints and custom, matching frames. The towers, which provide storage, were purchased at Pottery Barn, and already in the room. To make them more functional, height was added to bring them to the ceiling, and the room’s crown molding is taken around each tower’s top to create a seamless flow. STORAGE The creation of the towers gives the room plenty of useful storage, including display areas, multiple shelves, and a place to hide computer accessories and office supplies. GROWTH The room can easily change over time as new sports memorabilia and family photos are added or switched out. SAFETY All wires for the monitors and computer system are hidden within the wall and inside the storage towers. Power running to digital frames dedicated to particular teams is hidden within the walls.

Owners wanted to keep the nostalgic feel of the small game room. Keeping the existing green flooring ties into the new green counter-top and plenty of UT memorabilia.

This lovely craftsman style home provided the perfect blank slate for us to elevate with our clients' personalities. On the "must haves" list was add color, make it approachable and cozy, and keep the sunshine pouring in. The front rooms open to each other, so creating a flow connecting the spaces was important - however, giving each space its own twist was priority. We selected a bold red paint on the exterior of the front door and a classic, chevron-patterned, textured grasscloth for the Entry to set the stage. Lighting and furnishings were layered in for added pops of color and functionality. The Living Room furnishings were selected to maximize seating and relaxation. We delivered on color with the addition of an uber comfy, lime green swivel chair and placed it bordering the Living Room and Dining Room so one could join both conversations. The Dining Room walls were painted a moody blue to create a backdrop for chic dinner parties and record listening sessions. Reupholstered vintage dining chairs brought their own stories to the table while a custom made buffet stores oodles of board games and records. Custom window treatments in both spaces added the necessary privacy while allowing the sun to shine through and create the perfect sunny spots for their sweet dog to nap. Adding in artwork provided the fun punctuations in these two areas. When my client mentioned that she loves to sit out on the deck with a cup of tea and listen to the birds sing, my first thought was - let's have them join you inside! We reimagined the Breakfast Nook seating and created a custom banquette to perch on amongst the sweetest bird themed wallpaper. The Breakfast Nook's color palette of olive green and saturated orange paired with the lovely natural light is calming and perfectly reflective of our client's disposition.

The redesign of the fireplace was the starting point for the project and it was totally reimagined. We started with classic stacked stone. Custom floating cabinets were built to not only accommodate the floor vent but also for firewood storage. The mantel was the final piece of the puzzle and the shape was designed to follow the profile of the wall, then stained to match the home’s original woodwork. Seating was designed to encourage conversations and board games. Accents in gold, teal, and orange add personality. Unique wall sconces and an overhead pendant are the jewelry of the room.

With plenty of natural light seeking through this once dark galley kitchen, the brightly painted walls and banquette gets the chance to show their true colours. The dark navy banquette is placed alongside a beautiful antique table, giving the space the character and personality that it deserves.

This games room is truly a space for all ages to gather and have fun. Centrally located, it connects with the spa, home gym, and bootroom ensuring everyone has an opportunity to connect. Vibrant reds splash through the space, with the main event being the wet bar. This space depicts the vibrant owner’s fun loving personality, with a unique blending of materials and accented with rustic wood and light industrial. The corner built-in banquette is bar height and has a handmade table that ties together all the colours colours in the room. Metal legs give nod to the light industrial accents. The banquette’s leather seat cushions and channel backrest add comfort, and metallic wallpaper tiles brighten the corner. Higher seats allow visual connection to room, maintaining sightlines and conversation. Fireplace sitting area feature 4 wingback chairs with cowhide accents and large low-back couch. The coffee table’s wooden ends can be pulled out and placed beside chairs to play individual games. Picture TV over the fireplace can add art or entertainment. Tufted leather couch becomes a showpiece. Dart board fits nicely between pool table and couch, utilizing every inch of space. Wall mounted big screen TV keeps everyone on-top of the big game. Rustic wood pool table placed to play with space around. Wet bar raised seating area gives lots of room to gather on saddle stools. Each area of play has its own space, but are connected with sightlines for easy conversation. Gotta love the piece of cake art print, a great conversation piece. Combined with sunset painting from a local artist, these pieces follow the mountaintop theme shown in the bar light fixture and connect to the décor in the rest of the home. This multi-generational gathering space connects multiple zones into one connected room.
