This is a space that I am particularly proud of.
This was a challenging job. This was actually a very small area, that was originally part of a master bedroom which was closed off. This client wanted me to give him an office and a guest room out of the space. The space was less that 10 feet wide and 10 feet long.
The Challenge-
The entire build it that you see is a 3 wall wrap around.
On the left side of the picture you will see a tall bank of file drawers,it is really a custom pull down bed ( like a Murphy ) It is tight, but it fits.
' Voila !' A Guest Room !
The chair was purchased in Paris , and original French Deco.
The window treatment and chair fabric coordinate, as does the carpet which I designed and manufactured to match as well.
The finish on the build-in was all applied by hand, I sat at the manufacturers for hours, until it was just what I wanted.
All hardware , I think, makes the piece !

Private Entrance at The Palms in Ft. Lauderdale.
This small room was a very difficult shape.
I needed a specially shaped carpet. I designed this one.
The clients initial is in the center , when you exit the elevator , you will see the 'U'.
The walls have been hand painted.
They are also covered in the lyrics of some of Frank Sinatra's most popular songs. They are written in French.
The Client was an avid golfer, hence the vintage golf bag.
These elegant planters and the floral arrangements were needed to add 'importance'.
The doors that open to the apartment and face the elevator door, are mirrored with wood molding applied over the mirror.
There are Baci balls on the deco entrance chest.
The phone is from the 1920's - Paris France
The Mirror is French Art Deco , it was purchased by me in Paris, along with many other items for this project.
The ceiling is antique silvered & gold embossed wallpaper applied to the ceiling.
Carpet matches the lining of bedding- see turn back.
3 tiny pendant light fixtures on dimmers provide light to read by while in bed.
Bed is a delicate iron - shaped bamboo frame with an upholstered headboard and box spring to match. Upholstery is a small geometric check in emerald & black.
Canopy and bedding is a cafe silk Shantung.
Serpentine night stand/dresser is a custom piece from the design center made of darkest walnut, with details inside of each drawer for easier storage.
Serpentine mirror frame to mimic dresser, and in an antiqued silver finish.
This client's favorite song is 'It's A Wonderful Life', sung by Louis Armstrong.
I had the walls hand painted with the words and music of this song.
There is also a painting ( in Mr. Armstrong's likeness ) bought in Paris just over the toilet, you can see it reflected in the Paris mirror over the sink.
The bathroom door was later mirrored , so that it reflected the words and music.
This also helped the door to virtually disappear.
When you opened the door, the very song 'It's A Wonderful Life' , sung by Mr. Armstrong , would play.
The trumpets are are suspended via fishing wire from the ceiling.
And I have cable lighting on dimmers.
Click on picture to see all details, including words and music.
The headboard is a floor screen that I reworked into a wall mounted headboard.
I had purchased this very screen for their previous home and I did not want to discard it.
I then built the treatment around it with built in lighting, for reading in bed.
The windows in this room are not arched, I had arched cornices made to give this illusion. All trim and fabrics match; the bed drapery treatment, windows and dust-ruffle.
Everything else was purchased at antique, and consignment stores. This includes every single thing you see in the picture.
This home was a published home in Palm Beach Illustrated Magazine.
What you can not see above, is the huge, yet very delicate gold and crystal Italian Chandelier. It is all thin vines and leaves with crackled crystals hanging from the leaves.
The settee is from a consignment store, and recovered in this silk fabric.
The pedestals and urns are also from consignment stores.
