i'm going to london!!!!!

i am so excited i can't even sit. no, i'm moving there just yet. i'm going over president's weekend to check it out, see if i do even want to live there. cause i'm gunna know in about 2 seconds if i like the place. if i do, i'll do my research and get a place. narrow down the area i want to live in. i'm pretty sure i want to be in bayswater area, but i'm not sure. so that's where the trip comes into place. yahoo!!!! i'm so excited to go. but i've been living at my job (once again) and here's some pics to justify all my misery. haha. yeah frankly the end of the job is pure hell come to find out. but the product that is produced, well its beyond words. just beautiful.

ENTRY FOYER:

this is the entry foyer looking in the living room

this is the entry foyer dome ceiling. it's in a gold leaf finish. you can't tell from the pictures but you can see squres in it. it's so great.

GALLERY:
this is the gallery where they are going to hang there art on the ledge to the left. it has a barrel ceiling and is in vanciant plaster. it's smooth as butter. or glass.

laundry closet. not that exciting.
HIS STUDY:

his study with leather panels






POWDER ROOM:

the powder room leather that is the wall treatment (it's on the walls). it's so beautiful. the vanity was still in the process of being painted so i didn't get that. but it'll look amazing when done


light fixture in Her Dressing.
HIS BATH:

His bath. this is all pretty much exsisting. all we did was add pull out shelves in the vanity and a middle medince cabinet (originally we were going to do 2, but there were pipes in the way to prevent that)
they added some paint feature to the cornice to bring in the lights. love it.
HIS DRESSING:

His Dressing Dresser, this is done in all sycamore natural wood. it turned out really nice. oh and under the brown paper is a leather instert on top of the dresser, a nice feature.
MASTER BEDROOM:

this is what the casing/plinth block looks like. this apartment is very a-typical of what my office does. it's very modern and turned out wonderful. honestly i was a little specticle of the casing, but it's so cool.

these light fixtures (when done right) are amazing. the horrible contractor working on the job had never installed them before and did a noticably bad job. but when done right the plaster goes right up to the end of the fixture, and it's wonderful. but the two round light's on the end are called airport light's. they have a straight beam come down and there great for reading in bed. i love all the possibilities you can do in this field, it's really endless.

Oh and these walls, are in cashmere!! cashmere. i love it! the interior designers did such a great job!

EXERCISE ROOM:
yes, this wall of mirrors was painful to get the final decision, but it turned out nice. orginially we were going to put little rossettes on every connection point but that got rejected, bummer.

HIS DRESSING:
this is his tie closet, just for ties! i love this idea.


HER BATH:

medicine cabinet with glass shelves

this is the existing plaza floors from 1903. cool huh? but the vanity is new! haha
here's silver leaf ceiling. just amazing. and no, the sconces are not put in yet in the this pic, don't worry.


HER DRESSING:
again, she get a leather instert just like in His Dressing. and the scones on the sides aren't in yet in this picture

we added this clearstory window to bring in light to the exercise room. ha, really that room is a glorified closet. it's only 5'-6" wide. the mirrors really help to open up the space.
HER CLOSET: (walk in closet)
this is her shoe tower. i went to her current apartment and layed out the linear feet, and it turs out she get to by more shoes!! she was stoked about that.

VESTIBULE:
LIVING ROOM:

this bookcase is covered in Shagreen. Eel's skin. just the coolest thing i've ever seen. she will be displaying her art work here too.





those are window seats with storage. gunna be really cute when all done.

so yes, these pictures are not complete. but when i go on the photoshoot with our photographer i'll get the pictures with furniture, everything. but this has been my life the past... forever. ha. 1 1/2 years. cant wait til it's over!!
