FT-Gilbert Staircase This grand entrance is classic in design. Its welcoming curved staircase has faux-finished wrought iron and broad shaped plaster hand rails complete with a crackle paint finish. Dramatic black granite leads your eye down to a Trompe L’oeil octagon shaped area rug on the floor. The design of this unique hand painted floor rug, carefully mimics an antique Aubasson carpet that makes it’s home in the living room. A collection of family photos dressed in silver frames sits proudly on top of a beautiful storage chest. 
Rich, warmth tones of gold are celebrated in this space while white accessories and trim keep it fresh and crisp. The console table, ornate antique brass jardinière and carved wall sconce with floral branches all have an Asian inspired flavor giving a cohesive look to this room.  FT-Buchamer Console

A home office should be set up for work tasks but does not have to be minimal and sterile in decor. This home office is jazzed up with a spiced pumpkin wall color and a exotic bamboo desk.

A funky zebra pillow gives added comfort and an element of whimsy to the office chair.  FT-Leslie Home Office

Upholstered in an neutral two toned diamond patterned fabric,is a nice contrast from the walls painted in a deep taupe color.

The area carpet grounds the space and successfully ties all the colors together.
This colorful collection of artwork is happy and inviting and adds a personal touch to this room. The art grouping is right at home atop of this antique chest and because they are hung in close proximity to the
chest the two components visually become one, making for a strong focal-point.

A custom Trompe L’oeil scene, that deplicts Starling birds soaring effortlessly against a blue sky filled with soft white clouds.

This entry was once white and void of color and furnishings, with the exception of this beautiful inlaid floor. A decorative treatment of Venetian Plaster was applied to the support column to give it a time worn effect while the winding stair case was faux-finished with paint in two tones of metallic for depth and drama. The walls where painted a warm color to compliment the floor and an ornately carved console table help to dress this grand space. The floor now appears richer in color and texture as the added decorative elements help to tie it all together.

FT-Broad Hall  This hallway was once in a crazy zig-zag layout, but renovations straightened it out allowing for better traffic flow and with the addition of skylights and track lighting the lighting layout has been upgraded as well. It now is an unobstructed transitional space, the perfect place to show case a family photo gallery collection and framed prints that add personality and a hit of color. 
 
Wall niches offer an architectural element to walls and are a perfect place to display various items offering both interest and drama as well as are a nice alterative to hanging artwork. In this niche, a colorful orchid demands our attention while a pair of Quartz crystal stone pieces rest at the base of the niche.
