This was such an AMAZING project for
me. I had the privilege of being hired to design, fill and furnish a beautiful vacation
home in Scottsdale, Arizona
for my Denver
based client. My client, her friend and I took a trip down early in July 2013 to see
the property, take pictures, take measurements, and fill the house with the essentials
(i.e. towels, soap, paper towels, toiletries, small kitchen appliances, dishes,
silverware, bedding, etc.) It is amazing how much goes into a house when
you purchase it all at once.... needles to say, we shopped A LOT this
trip.
Once back in Denver I put together a general floor
plan and 3D renderings of what I had in mind for the space, and began the hunt
for furniture. Fortunately my client was WONDERFUL to work with and
really gave me complete design control. Because the space was empty we had a blank
canvas to work with....a rarity in my world. We decided to not do any painting
right away, however she had a great idea of the overall style she wanted for
the space. She also expressed wanting to have a very cool and contemporary color
palette, of gray, white and teal, so I took it and ran with it! I ordered all
the furniture, mattress, and rugs from a combination of Bassett Home Furniture
and Lexington Home Brands, and accessories and other small occasional pieces from several retail stores in AZ. Once the large orders were placed we had 4-6 weeks to wait for it all to ship out and arrive to my
holding warehouse in Scottsdale.
We then booked another flight back down to install, and within 36 hours, we had
filled the entire home. It now is a comfortable, stylish and totally livable
space….perfect for a desert getaway!!
It is a gorgeous property and I am so
excited to share each of the spaces with you!
STAY TUNED!!!
