A modular sectional sofa with custom silk pillows anchors the low-profile living seating arrangement. A large cowhide hide is flanked by contemporary lounge chairs and tempered glass and iron tables. The wall seen behind the couch features an original abstract painting produced by the designer, above an antique French console. A chrome and glass pendant light sets the stage in the stepped entry landing. A bent glass console table and a custom wall clock now sit where a bedroom doorway was eliminated. The walls are painted Sandy Hook Gray a tough walls flat latex with trim painted in White Dove a satin oil-based impervex enamel. Lafayette artist Christopher LaBauve was commissioned to create a 7’x7’ abstract landscape painting to face a large set of windows in the dining room. The painting channels the styles of Pollock, Twombly and Friedman. The wood panel features a reptilian texture created from black speedball tattoo ink and archival bookbinding resin, mounted in a custom floater frame. Highly pigmented paint powder creates swirls of yellow, the home’s signature accent color.

This is another art piece drawn by my tattoo artist Matt Burns. I took the image and hand painted it on the bathroom doors.

Kids spaces can be playful, colourful and artistic cost effectively. Here, wall tattoos of birch trees in gold provide the framework on which to "hang" framed animal postcard prints. Pretty ribbon and sparkling flowers provide the finishing touches. This wall is easily updated to keep pace with the age of the child by switching the frames or removing them all together to leave the trees bare. Photography by Marc Lavoie
