This was a big tile job! Blue Lagos Lime Stone was used for the carpet insert in front of the vanity.
A 7/8" honey comb in a blue Lagos, and Amarillo Gold from AKDO was used for the balance of the floor.
The Tile installer got the pitch from the main area to the linear drain perfect! the floor and shower seat are heated.
This week the they are finishing cabinetry, plumbing, electrical, and painting.
We plan to have the client in the middle of the month.

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

2012-04-01T08:39:00.002-04:00

On April 2nd I will be attending the Annie Sloan Event in Boston.

Looking forward to exploring this
product line more. The color pallet is beautiful. More to come.

Chalk Paint

Back from Annie Sloan Unfolded event in Boston! A wonderful product to give a new look to and old or vintage piece. No primer is required and Annie did a great commentary on doing a small piece of furniture in one day, that's how quickly you can move through the process ( if you have some skill already) and get it back in the room the same day. I have ordered some product to try in the studio, I am sure I will be incorporating the chalk paint into our finish work.It offers a great solution for old furnishing the wax finish has a great patina and the pallet is beautiful.
Contact the studio at 508-341-2330 if you have a piece you would like to have finished.

The new view from the Kitchen through to the living room.

The Sterling Project-
We had gotten a quote to have a service, storage,bar area built in. It was pushing our budget to the limits. I love Antiques mixed with Modern and stumbled upon this 7' circa 1935-1940 mahogany buffet. The drawer are all lined for silver, the center door open to 4 large drawers. I had our Carpenter replace the brass grills in the left and right outer doors. all of this character and storage at a fraction of the price for the built ins even with the custom navy blue glazed finish from Dover Studio.
The Steel and glass upper cabinets with the

custom glass back splash and top, give that

Edgy Urban Chic Feel.

Before-

The former space that had a desk, then bar area and a peninsula island that projected into the room 96 inches. the granite tops were re-purposed in the pool house, replacing the Formica tops.Maple floor feathered back in prior to applying the New grey stain.

Seeing the potential in the vintage piece

Lots of character and storage.

New Light Fixtures.

Screen Shades soften the light coming in without taking away from the beautiful natural surroundings of this west of Boston Home. Concrete adds a modern and practical surface to the new bar that has replaced the triangle effect on the old island. Dakota mahogany granite, which looked to peach with the maple, has been refinished and takes on a richer tone with the new pallet. Maples floors refinished with a gray stain. Textured ceiling has been made smooth.

The Westwood Project has been getting its finishing touches. The Island drawers have been painted a deep Plum Chocolate with Iron finished Hardware. The main color used though out the living space is Donald Kaufman DKC 21. Dover Studio has done a woven color finish on the atrium area wall to play up the Plums and browns. The complexity of this finish pulls around the many tones throughout the space. The back of the island is also done in a simpler color weave.

This is a client who we have worked with over the years on many different projects.

This project will be a transformation of the kitchen cabinets. The client has updated all appliances and is looking to give a lighter brighter look to the cabinets. All of the doors have been removed and taken to the studio. The will be finished in a cream paint with the edges slightly rubbed back to reveal a trace of wood, then a mocha glaze and the final finish coats. We have purchased new knobs to replace the brass.

Eloquent Lessons

Eloquent Ink founder Shawn Laughlin has moved the nature-inspired designs that grace luxury stationery products to the table — literally, with luxe, large-scale porcelain plates and bowls that are produced in a partnership with local potters. The former commercial filmmaker and passionate still photographer combined her love of the visual with her equally passionate love for cooking and dishes, resulting in a striking collection mannerly enough to rest on any table (or not, as the case may be — Laughlin encourages customers to view the line as decorative objects). This month, Eloquent Ink will roll out platinum designs to complement the gold, as well new floral and botanical designs to bring the total number up to 15. Retail prices range from $90 to $125.

White Hot

Luxury soft goods company Ankasa has launched Ankasa White Label, a collection of bedding and decorative pillows at a lower price point. "We have had such an amazing response to our core couture collection, but the offerings are limited to the luxury sector," said Jodi Sandman, vice president. "We want to offer the same fashion-forward color stories and finishings, but at a fraction of the price." White Label will always relate back to the original collection, highlighting surface textures and offered in fine Egyptian cotton sateen. Duvets will retail from $425, sheet sets from $300 and decorative pillows from $125.

Sophisticated Scents

Design house Scalamandre has launched its first home fragrance collection to accent the luxury home. Holiday, the first candle in the collection, blends rosewood, jasmine and Oriental spices with additional fragrances on the horizon for introduction this year. The two-wick candle is packed in a glossy box featuring two of Scalamandre's signature patterns: Pillemont Toile and Pomfret. "The candle is the perfect indulgence for the holiday season — it will add to the environment of any room," said Mark Bitter, co-president/ CEO of Scalamandre. The candle is priced at $48.

Paint Perfect

New to the market is Dover Studio at Home, a furniture and accessory company sponsored by Sherwin-Williams. Hand-painted and manufactured in the USA, the fresh designs layer color and large-format pattern for a distinctive twist. Three separate collections offer a different stylistic touch: the Source Collection extracts classical design elements, such as a pineapple or damask, and transforms them to suit today's lifestyle. Most of the design motifs are interchangeable, in that they can be applied to multiple pieces of furniture. Retail prices range from $124 for a mirror to $3,710 for an armoire.

Chic Sheets

Luxury linen vendor Matouk has entered into a licensing partnership with Lulu de Kwiatkowski, founder and chief designer of Lulu DK fabrics. The debut Lulu DK Matouk Collection features six prints in 500-thread count percale, each in up to seven color choices, and includes accompanying quilts. The initial collection will be unveiled at the International Gift Show in New York this month, blending Kwiatkowski's signature modernist, eco-chic designs with a fashionable palette of Cranberry, Wheat, Ocean, Honeydew, Chocolate, Sky and Red. "The launch of our partnership is a great moment for Matouk," said George Matouk Jr., president . "Lulu's designs are original and modern, yet classic and warm."

Pattern Play

Tricia Guild, founder of London-based Designers Guild, has debuted her 12th design book, a must-have for textile lovers. Simply entitled Pattern, the designer's trademark mix of color and pattern is brilliantly spotlighted on every page. Divided into chapters like Geometrics, Botanicals and Indian-inspired patterns, Guild's book lays out a primer on textiles with exquisite photography to match, all in glorious, saturated hues. "By exploring just some of the many different patterns that have inspired and continue to inspire me," Guild said, "it is my hope in this book to communicate some of my own deep fascination with pattern and encourage others to develop their own." Retail price $40.

Dover Studio At Home - Fabulously Whimsical

From Dover Studio was kind enough to send me photos of their latest venture. In conjunction with Sherwin Williams Paint Company, Dover Studios is producing a new line of furniture called Dover Studio At Home “The New Classic”. Says Dover Studios "The concept for Dover Studio At Home is to create pieces that are a contemporary transformation of design and color while respecting the quiet power of tradition. We achieve this with hand applied, large format patterns and elements that are layered with sophisticated combinations of colors. These select pieces of furniture can stand alone or can be made into a set and come in a variety of colors and patterns."

I just love when a single idea or theme is exploded beyond its normal self. While these subjects - a peacock feather, pineapple, beta fish, tropical plant and wood grain are seen all the time - they take on new life and meaning in these applications. Justaposed with traditional furniture forms - it's new, fresh and fabulous!

Dover Studio at Home will be showing at the Architectural Digest Home Show March 8-11.

Dover Studio At Home will be offering a complete line of painted furniture and home accessories using the Sherwin Williams color palette. According to a spokesperson for Dover Studio, "The new line has evolved from interest in surface design and in recognizing that there is a need in the industry for a fresh exciting look in home furnishings."

The At Home Collection will be available to the trade at a launch party at Dover Studio on March 25th from 5:00-9:00 pm and to the general public on March 27th.

The concept for Dover Studio At Home is to create pieces that are a contemporary transformation of design and color while respecting the quiet power of tradition. This is achieved with hand applied, large format patterns and elements that are layered with sophisticated combinations of colors. These select pieces of furniture can stand alone or can be made into a set and come in a variety of colors and patterns.

Dover Studio At Home has created three diverse collections of home goods, offering market flexibility.

The Kiran Collection presents traditional design elements from around the globe viewed in a new ray of light.

The View 21 Collection extracts the simplicity of a common element into an abstract design. The Charms Collection is composed of individual elements used in an unusual way that border on kitsch. A client could choose a classic design combined with a bold color palette to create a piece that is comfortably traditional yet exudes high energy.

Dover Studio has over ten years of client experience offering their surface design services. They present a menu of sophisticated techniques for walls, furniture and architectural elements. The studio has collaborated with architects, designers, home owners and business owners looking for interiors that have a rich atmosphere with complex layers of surface interest. Clients appreciate how Dover Studio continues to keep their finger on the pulse of high design while working with them to express their individuality.

The At Home product will be sold to the trade through Dover Studio and will initially be available through boutique interior shops in upscale urban, suburban, and vacation areas throughout New England and New York.

Donald Kaufman's Studio

I had forgotten how beautiful this paint is!
Ten Years ago I specked a new house interior in the Kaufman color palette. We are doing some touch up after some water damages that happened this winter.
The client and I had chosen four colors in which to do all of the first floor and most of the second.
Kaufman's pigment system uses up to a dozen pigments to create his paints, compared to most paint companies, which use just three pigments. The color defines the space very differently from room to room depending on the light and shadow created by the architecture of the space. Donald Kaufman; a pioneer in the field of architectural color with more than thirty years of research on the equation of color and space and light. His signature paints are available through Pratt & Lambert in more than 100 colors,and four acrylic finishes; a gallon costs $85 to $100.
Call 800-289-7728 for information, or go to Pratt & Lambert to locate a dealer.
I have included my two favorite books on the subject all are available on amazon.com. That reveal Donald Kaufman's theory on color, space and light. Truly worth reading if you have a interest in color.
