As I was starting to write this blog, the new April issue of Traditional Home arrived in the mail, entitled “Before and After Issue”. Of course, in our antique and design business we are not new to transformations and sometimes complete metamorphoses. Everyone loves how a home can be renewed by a makeover. Sometimes even we are amazed by the mesmerizing effects of antiques when properly incorporated into a design, especially by the enchantment that they bring to our client’s beautiful homes.
This week we are starting a new feature on our blog ~ “Before and After”. It’s only natural since transformations and renewals are our favorite part of design and restoration. We look forward to sharing photos and stories of our latest projects with our readers, and I can’t tell you how excited we are to feature these transformations to show why we are so inspired on a daily basis by our antique finds.
This is the antique bed in its 'Before' state.
In this first “Before and After” feature I want you to see a small antique bed that we converted into a grand and luxurious king size bed for one of our clients. Since the bed is the centerpiece of every bedchamber, it deserves our total attention in its design. An antique one-of-a-kind bed is the best way to create this focus, but we also do everything to ensure that it provides a sublimely comfortable place for your slumber.
Of course, beauty is not the only pursuit to design happiness. In the modern home comfort rules and we all know how important it is to keep in mind that every home has a unique family that dwells within. Our relentless pursuit is always their ultimate happiness!
Fantastic idea – would love to see more on converting antique furniture for use in modern living.
