It is always rewarding to participate in charitable design projects and I am well underway in the latest,
http://vinesandvignettes.com/. In its second year this event is a well oiled machine and I was asked to design the interior of the guest area in the barn! A fabulous space adorned with hand hewned beams, stucco walls and delightful light that penetrates through a floor to rafter ten foot center window. Light abounds in contrast with the dark gray slate floors mingled with plum and jade tones. Walls are rough sawn panel around the fireplace area lending greater warmth to the deep french gold wall color.
I like that the committe for this wonderful fundraiser included a theme for this year. Harvest to New Year will be depicted in each vignette. The barn room design will celebrate the New Year. Moods of the old and new abound in this design. Modern furnishings juxtaposed with accessories, and accent pieces that harken from an older time while the art speaks to the old and new! Of course the room itself is old but that incredible window added later nods to a newer age. The room scheme to play off old and new, light and dark, bringing the outdoors inside! The transitions of a new year are symbolized in the design and reflected in the space.
You must come and see the final product! October 8 & 9th... Go to website link and look for when tickets go on sale!!
