hen it was time to accessorize the condo! The letters
presented themselves and with just a simple coat of
black paint, became a strong and interesting detail for
the end wall. The fantastic blue bicycle was her mode of
transportation, which we only discovered as she rode up
late for a meeting. The great colour and style of the bike
was brilliant and when she complained that she didn’t feel
comfortable leaving it in the garage, we assured her it was
a perfect combination of design and function. It’s fantastic,
layered in front of the letters on the back wall.

All that was left now was some art over the sofa and throw
cushions. We suggested she go out to a local fabric store
where she could find remnants in her favorite colours. Each
cushion required only half a yard of fabric and at six to ten
dollars a yard, the cushions were a perfect addition to the
space and the budget. The art, which can be an expensive
part of the design, were the client’s choosing. She was able
to photo shop the images to various sizes and have them
printed. A quick trip to a big box store for black frames in
allowed for the collage. Each image means something to her
and reveals a little of her personality in each selection.
Without breaking the bank, the homeowner’s personality
and style are perfectly revealed in this space. It was a leap of
faith for her as the process couldn’t be designed exactly but
more found along the way. On this occasion the destination
was well worth the journey.
