Since this room is the first thing you see when you enter the home, it needed to be striking and project a gracious mood that was both stylish and comfortable and just a tad unexpected. So, NOT a room of brown furniture. The table had to be the gathering place for the family and so the choice of a large round trestle table in a light finish made the most sense. Adding tailored chairs with dressmaker details gave a little fashion flare to the room. Brass and metal became the other element that unified the design. A graphic brown and white carpet brought the space together nicely. The large cream matte around the small images of the art is as important as the image itself as it provides contrast with the dark walls and a clean, contemporary feel. I liked the mix of a traditional brass framed mirror with the more contemporary art. Other art not seen in the pictures are colorful abstracts.

Photo Credit Landmark Photography. This home was designed with entertainment in mind. It has minimal detailing to give that contemporary transitional simplicity. The outdoor living and entertainment takes advantage of the lush wooded back lot. The see through aquarium and fireplace gives each space a feeling of coziness while allowing the open feel desired. In the basement the bar and wine cellar hosts more entertaining possibilities. Across from the bar is a sunken gulf simulator room and Theater. With the ongoing concept of open floor plan guests can communicate from the many exciting spaces in the basement.

This wonderful Dining Area is full of detail. The table boasts 2 exotic wood species, with a rotating center for accessibility. The buffet is a custom design detailed with white gold leaf. The interior is lined with pacific silver cloth to prevent silver from tarnishing.

Welcome to dining in style and grace with beautiful furnishings surrounded by the elegance of the inset stone wall, wood flooring and specialty lighting..
