I took the time to write about each thing and it helped me see the amazing cohesion I managed to pull off. Today I added images to my writing to help you visualize the final product and how it all came together. Not to brag, as it's all a matter of good training, her owning the right stuff and the combination of the two that allowed those miracles to happen. Here's a few things to look for when reviewing the images...First - the congruency of colors. We managed to bring the pallet all the way across the house in one way or another with minimal break in the transition while maintaining the individuality of each space. The use of the red and blue trim made this not only a treat to the eye but also gave me what I needed to mix for the perfect trim in the bedroom.Second - the way I not only managed to work each rooms color schemes around their high lighted quilts, but also in relation to theme and vibe. I really did it based on colors, but yet it worked out even better in terms of themes for the rooms they are in. Each room has a directed energy pattern if you really examine it.Third - The home owners interests, requests, desires are all reflected in the locations of the art, items within the room, what quilts were placed in the room and color placement through out the whole house. As per the owner's request, we highlighted not only her art, but that of her friends and family as well. Each room has a water feature. We included significant items in special little spots in each room to delight her when she stumbled on them, in addition to these kinds of requests as a surprise. Much of the color stuff was planned but some was purely accidental. With the hall and quilting room we went with the plan of the exact same color for walls and floor trim to tie the rooms together. This is for the quilting business she is planning for her future. The hall's quilts can be rotated out because of a sale or new piece. Same for the sewing room and neither are distracted by the paint. The shade bounces the light best in these two areas too. This created a great new gallery and studio for her interest.Each room has something reflecting her love of horses, farm living, Texas, Lousianna and art. Great work went into mixing these fine details together, but were honestly only thought of in terms of room and not room to room. I only noticed how well it went all the way around while reviewing the images at posting time.To explain more clearly let me give you the theme/pallet for each room. Included are the purposes of each room too.Sewing room - Demands: light walls avoid distraction from fabric shelves and projects. Stained glass defuses light to protect fabric. Room allowment for impending large quilting free arm machine. Space allowed for walking completely around this and the cutting table. Storage!
