The dark contrast of the oak floors and furniture also ‘raise’ the ceiling’s height. “The ability to tolerate heavy traffic,” the Brazels comment, “helped in the choice of materials.” Curtains in the kitchen and dining room add to the burgundy theme and gentle geometrics. “We get a lot of compliments on the curtains, especially in the kitchen,” the Brazels remark. “We wanted to have variation in curtain length for its aesthetic value. However the curtains had to be primarily durable and functional.” “Gabriele took the time to understand our family and learn what was important to us. She then came back to us with a design that exceeded our expectations. She definitely made our dreams a reality!” the Brazels state. The Brazels are delighted with the redesign, commenting “Still can’t believe this is our house! We absolutely love the finished design. It is not only beautiful, but it functions even better than we hoped for.”
