American Mid-west inspiration - through the looking glass to a new vision

"The inspiration for this client's en-suite project came from the rich woods, warm colours and natural textures I assembled in the 'vignette' pictured here, to soften and de-formalize their traditional Americana dining room. The striking impression of the objects reflected in this mirror sparked a vision for creating a high-impact statement upon entering the en-suite from the master bedroom - a vision of the custom make-up table set against a cherry paneled wall which, in fact, functions as the backside of a tiled shower tower. The installation of the oval mirror is the perfect feminine counterpoint to the more masculine, 'barber-shop' influences in the en-suite and their underplayed neutral material and colour choices. Interpreting the warm metals of the dining room as stainless en-suite fixtures and accessories achieves the vintage feel of a 'traditional 1930's' barbershop". I am pleased to see that both the en-suite and dining room have stood the test of time...... in their simple, understated nod to a style which has come into its own".
