Studio 7, Atlanta - Concept development and Space Planning

I've been working on concept development, space planning and design for a soon to be opening Lounge Space in Atlanta called Studio 7. Will show you more picture soon but wanted to post ...»
some 'Work in Progress' pictures

The space will have subtle Jamaican influence. I had to work with the existing space making minimal changes. But the space has sure come a long way from what it was in January of 2012. Each piece of furniture was picked and designed carefully. The lights that you see in the bar area was custom made with used Coffee filters again a subtle Jamaican influence as the country is know for its coffee.

The place is also open for artists to show their art. Studio 7 will have great music, carefully crafted Jamaican food and an awesome place to hang out to Reggae music. etc.

Wood type/ species?

I have these chairs I picked up at an estate sale. I need help in identifying what wood are the legs made from. ...»

A bit of History- the owner told me he grew up with these chairs and they are about 35 years. I do not see a maker label as the chairs were reupholstered 12 years ago.

KMS, where art thou? Can you identify or at least ball park?

  • Before After Pictures of the bedroom
  • I know this is not the right way, since I didn't have much time, I taped the outlets as well!
  • It was time for the side lights to go in. I am not a pro so I got help to get the lights fixed. Centered the wall to make sure they were fixed in the right space.
  • Frames for the headboard.
  • Painted them the same color as the dresser and distressed it to match textures.
  • See the distressed look?
  • Frame nailed together on the headboard. I added corner pieces to make the headboard structure more stable.
  • Lovely distressing!
  • I downloaded this free stencil from Lowes website. Printed it as Fedex and laminated it. Cut it with an exacto.
  • I had the to tape the wall again just to make sure I had equal divided spaces for each motif.
  • It was easy, this was my first time so I chose something simple.
  • Stencil is done and headboard is hung on the wall. What a pretty sight.
  • Bed frame is place.
  • Now for some homemade art. I bought the canvas at Micheal's along with 2 colors of paint. Yellow was the accent color I was going to introduce into the blue gray room colors.
  • I painted the entire board yellow and added a line of thick blue paint 1/4 length from the bottom of the canvas. I took a plastic  fork and drew random lines makes a pattern and texture.
  • This was the dresser I bought on Craiglist. I loved it as is, but wasnt going well with the room. So I painted a dark smoky blue.
  • Sanded it first, painted and distressed.
  • Tada, tha art and the dresser in the room. The horse sculpture is from IKEA and the Owl I made in a clay class in 2005.
  • This is how the room looked after it was done. The side table was a thrift store find. Didn't do anything to it.
  • This chair I picked from TJ maxx and the book basket is made from recycled magazine papers, from TJ Max as well.

Guest Bedroom Makeover

THE PLAN

This makeover is very close to my heart. I did it in 4 days and I worked everything out in ...»

less than 1 $1000. To begin, I sketched the concept and design on a piece of paper. I had so many ideas in my mind but going to Lowes armed with the my concept sheet I shopped at l my initial supplies based on my rough sketch. I spent a couple of hours and picked colors that would coordinate the existing wall color.

wanted the room to have a calm and soothing effect with a bit of eclecticism and still have a boutique hotel feel. I had the dresser that I had picked on craiglist and for a long time I couldn't figure what to do with it. After the colors for the room was finalized, I decided to paint it a dark deep blue grey and distress it. I kept the dresser drawers as is to create that contrast I needed.

The 1×4 frame that I used to frame the headboard was painted the same color and distressed to tie up the elements in the room. To see how I constructed and built the headboad, click - http://www.hometalk.com/ecf1c51915/project/9...

My first custom work for my first customer after I moved from my garage.

These wing back chairs have natural burlap on the back and white cotton linen in the front. My client restores chairs as well but she is more into French chairs.
