On a recent trip to LA we found this fantastic fireplace mantel for our tour home in Brasada Ranch, the massive scale is perfect for the great room. The Iron light fixture is one of my favorite new fixtures, we are having a pair of them made larger for the same room.
The stair detail is my inspiration for the tower staircase. After a little grumbling the framing contractor has done an incredible job! The traditional Moroccan tiles shown we are using on the stair risers, alternating patterns at each stair with wood treads. These are beautiful patterns made from cutting and fitting terra cotta and glazed tiles together.
The hand painted terra cotta tiles shown at the top are just a few of the patterns we have selected for the showcase home, they are from the new Contessa collection at Walker Zanger.
As we make more selections including some wonderful furnishings and antiques I will share them in the future.
Scott, we've finally decided to sell some of our antique pieces we've used for display, and one of them is the tall, rectangular work/chop table in the center of our main room. It's a gorgeous piece, and I always thought it would look great as a working island or big, dramatic entryway piece in a tuscan or euro style home. It is a piece from Europe: might be too rustic for what you're doing, but who knows? You don't have to post this, of course, but come take a look if you wish... anyway, can't wait to see what you do with this home! thanks! Jan (@ Pomegranate)
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found a fireplace mantle. Have you been to the design center & see The Stone cutters custom stone mantles & range hoods? You should take a look. Really nice & made locally.
ReplyDeleteI see a potential field trip here....
