Hallway Renovation




In March, KMD is excited for the demo/renovation of this hallway below. The design concept I choose for the floors, is above (*obviously on a smaller scale.) Don't you just love it!

The area you can't see below, because I am standing in it taking the iphone photo, is the front door area (about 12 x 12) is being turned into a very stylish and functional mudroom. The built-ins are finished in a high-gloss black, shaker style cabinets - top to bottom (with over 10 feet ceilings.) It's going to be so AMAZING, dying to share this entire project of this historical home, once it's complete! It's been a project I have been working on for awhile and all the rooms I designed are modern classics!

In the meantime, I thought I would share the before pics and another element in the space.

Hallway before...

Recently restored staircase, (which you can't really see in my iphone pic) I had finished in a high-gloss black (about 6 coats I believe), then BM - decorators white.

Cabinet I designed for foyer, below.

Here is the Faux Bamboo Cabinet drawing I designed for the foyer (*in progress pic below, being built by my very talented furniture craftsman.) This cabinet will sit under the staircase, and is being finished in a true Tiffany blue - I literally gave the finisher a Tiffany box and asked him to match it!

Finish...for Cabinet


Cabinet at workshop, waiting for hardware...

Just waiting for the hardware to roll in for this piece, then the faux bamboo gets applied, the piece get's finished, then place in the new gorgeous hallway and Voila!
