BEFORE AND AFTER: JAMESTOWN CRESCENT DINING ROOM

January 15, 2014 lucy williams

just as we were almost finished with her last house, my customer decided to move!
my thoughts? THRILLED!!!
don't get me wrong, her last house was amazing….but i LOVE a project!
we started in the dining room…. we had a dark and tired space……but it had AMAZING bones and LOADS of potential!!
my customer was super scared….but trusted my vision. she's an old soul, loves 1940's glam, has phenomenal taste, and appreciates high end stuff….she "liked" her new house, but wanted to fall in love with it…and i love how she's not afraid to take risks…..time to get to work!
what did we have?
- a table and chairs (which she wants to eventually replace)
- chest of drawers
- pair of lamps
i showed her a drapery fabric…and she immediately fell in love!! oh, and she loves silvers / metallics
here's the before….

a HUGE treat to work in this stunning old home....you feel like you are in the beautiful Battery of Charleston....i LOVE this place....and the homeowners are even better!
here's what the homeowners needed:
1. reupholster everything in the living room
2. add a sisal
3. incorporate a light and bright color scheme that would compliment a recently inherited painting going over the fireplace.
here's a sneak peak of the before......
