Rumson Showhouse After Pictures

As Promised!  Below are the After pictures of the Recreation Room I designed at this year's Rumson Showhouse.  If you look at my previous blog, you'll see that the room, was dark, cluttered and didn't really lend itself for entertaining of any kind.  But now, you could definitely have a sophisticated party that includes family and friends. 

If you haven't had a chance to visit the showhouse yet, I really encourage you to go and visit this jewel of a house.  From it's location above the Navesink River, the views are spectacular.  And the tastefully designed rooms only add to the whole experience.  Don't miss out!

Showhouse at Holly Hill

Hello Everyone,

Once again it is that time of year when interior designers prepare to partcipate in the Stately Homes by the Sea Designer Showhouse.  http://www.statelyhomesbythesea.com/default.asp
The event is being held from May 3rd - June 12th, 2011.

This year, the event is being held at Holly Hill, a historic country estate, near Red Bank, NJ.  More than 35 of the region's top interior designers participate in designing a different room or area in the estate.  

For my own design, I am transforming a dark recreation room in the basement of the residence into a room that not only looks chic but can still be used for entertaining guests at any age.  I've used the greys and calming colors of the sea to create a sophisticated atmosphere and at the same time brought the garden outside through the french doors and into this 'new' space.  I can not wait for all of you to visit and take a look at the transformation.  Hope you can make it!
Stay tuned for the after picture......
