The Corner: A Totem of Whimsy and Warmth

I just want to have like a totem, it's from Allied maker again I have Alabaster up in the ceiling light, so I wanted an alabaster friend that I didn't create. There's something almost spiritual about the light warming itself through the alabaster, so I've been talking about the paneling Custom Tailoring it I'm envisioning that we do custom size panels on either side of this wider fireplace that house Daisy Patton portraits. Daisy Patton is this amazing artist out of Boston I want some real plant life, we're just going to do an olive tree over by the window and then we're going to do like a gorgeous little arrangement right on that mantle. Use that shelf space and a friend of mine in San Francisco he's my floral designer co-conspirator Mr Lee and I love that his sculptures are actively in Decay, that's what flowers are right morbid but true and I think there's something really cool about having something that's always changing being a focal point in the room.

We're going to use mirrors to help bounce light through and they're just going to be fun shapes, it's like a really fun Starburst mirror over the credenza then over the fireplace this one that I found on first dibs is almost like kind of a handle and then like a pot or a pan of mirror underneath it. Since most of the furniture that we've added in has thus far is kind of Art in and of itself I want to be super selective with the art and the decor that we're bringing in. I would love to put a mirror over the fireplace, I'm going to choose this amazing piece by Mishaan he's a contemporary artist who I think is doing really cool things in between the two French doors. I'm going to add this beautiful ceramic sculpture by Norwegian artist Torian Cavazo and I'm going to display it on a very simple black pedestal.

I'm going to add in an art piece by the artist Lauren Hy, an artist from South Central LA that I'm a huge fan of it has a neutral palette and also plays with the geometric shape in this room. The Styling is really what's going to bring it to life we've got this giant palm tree we're going for Casablanca Monaco that upscale tropical feel adding to the drama on the back High Roller room table we've got a dramatic flower arrangement and then in terms of accessories we've got our game shelf with all of our games whatever you feel like you can just walk over and pull an option off the shelf.

To me this room screams fun and it's like ready for a sexy night, this is like no kids are hanging out in here this is adults only. We're coming in here after dinner everybody's ready for some cigars and some drinks and you know who knows what else but we're coming in here to you know have a good time let loose play some games maybe win a little money and again maybe if we turn the music up take off our shoes and jump on the couches, that's kind of what the room is for. I'm really happy with how this room turned out I really achieved the goal of trying to brighten up the space and making it feel welcoming and Lively it feels like a much more modern and inviting space but still very respectful to a lot of the original features that we wanted to preserve.

My Final Thoughts on This Room Are

I love it, I love color but like Earthbound color it's a little bit Fantastical yeah I'll move right in. Oh wow oh my God everything is so different, I love the IND this is super different this is my game night room you created a partition a partition cuz this is like where we the serious card players go oh that's like the High Roller that's the High Roller room that's amazing but this rug like tell me everything oh my gosh it's out of control right. I've been dying to use it in a project by Edward Fields, it's called Daisy beautiful but it's like it's always gets default into like a nursery and all it's like you know what I'm going to make it happen in the living room.

I think this will help people understand like have fun yeah you know exactly and whimsic cool wait no it's your your ceiling girl oh my God is it watercolor, this is actually like a decorative finish that I've done in a Victorian living room project in San Francisco all of us kind of went Whimsical. I think but I think these people are friends yeah I think so friends who like go to each other's houses game night over here like this is defo party like like space like cocktail hour yes and that's like the part cuddle pudle.

So we start in his room and then we transition to mine for drinks and then yours is the late night, lounge my God I'm so happy.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthese three interior designers have been given a photograph of an abandoned Victorian living room they have free reign to design it in any way they please I'm Nas and my design is bold it's colorful and sometimes it's a little Fearless my name's cat and my design style is unexpected luxurious and inquisitive I'm HMA and my style is global rich and livable no clients no restrictions just Blank Space my first impressions of this space are that it probably was once a very beautiful and Grand room I do really love the original features of the space it's clearly an old Victorian living room but it's been messed with over time there's a lot that I don't have to stick with and a lot of things that I will honor because it's great but it's not all original looking at this room there is one word that comes to mind and it is demo I would just get rid of everything my vision for this space is basically preserving a lot of the elements that I love about it restoring some of that Grandeur to the space that I think has been lost over time to just wear and non original non-heritage things but then make it Whimsical and colorful for that really cool contrast that I love in older homes I love the idea of a game room I love game nights I want to design a game room that feels sexy like game night in Casablanca it's going to have that very Lush sultry feel to it my vision for the space is to try and maintain a lot of its original charm and character but have a lot of fun with the colors and the furniture that we use and bring it into the century looking at these floors they look like an old parquet wood ordinarily I wouldn't rip something like this out but I don't think there's any salvaging them I think we should start fresh it's too far gone so I'm going to replace it so I want to do something more fun like a checker board half of the checkers are going to be wood White Oak and then the other half of the checkers I'm going to do in Walnut Wood I want to make sure that I'm adding in floors that are very complimentary to the existing features I'm going to opt in to do a new park cave flooring that feels brighter and fresher I think it would be really fun to play off of the geometric shapes that are seen throughout the rest of the space I'm going to introduce a wall to--all carpet and I think it's going to add that like plush sexy feeling that we going for in this space I do feel strongly that from an acoustical and warmth standpoint we should have a rug this rug from Safar I think it's really cool CU you can see in the detail that they actually sheared between each color more of like a ridge so you can really texturally feel all these colors transitioning in addition to the parade floor I've been dying to use this rug by Edward Fields it's called Daisy it's really Whimsical also there's an interesting history of Victorian houses and American hippies so I think it brings a really fun summer of love thing to the space I really love the original wall paneling and I just think it needs a bit of a facelift so I'm going to paint it a really beautiful shade of blue and inside the trim I'm going to go one shade lighter than the walls to really emphasize that detail and create some contrast I love the or fireplace and I want to try and keep that but paint it in the same light blue as the walls the only details honestly that I would preserve here are these beautiful bay windows we're going to rip out all this old wood paneling it kind of feels oppressive in the space so on the back wall where we've got Windows we're going to do this beautiful gold wallpaper by Calico you can see there's like a little bird Motif it's very reflective that's going to be the back room not only am I going to visually sort of divide the space with different wall treatments throughout I'm actually going to physically divide it so I've included these vintage Flor to ceiling window panes and I'm going to add different colors of stained glass throughout to really capture this beautiful light flowing through these big windows I love wood paneling but it just doesn't behave with anything it's almost as if someone like retrofitted other architectural panels from another house and like put them on the wall so we're just going to redo the paneling and then we'll move that all the way through this entire entire room and as far as finish goes I have this idea of doing like Ser which is basically they put white wax inside the wood grain and then you stain the wood that way like the grein really lights up even though you've stained it a color that's darker than the wood I want to do a serus denim blue stain all over the panels I like the idea of adding some more fabric to the room to help absorb sound so we're just going to do very simple very tall Florida ceiling drapes with a ceiling mounted brass Rod the windows are really beautiful but currently the drapes are hiding them they're blocking out a lot of natural light the best thing to do is just remove them completely and continue the paint detailing this is a space that isn't necessarily a bedroom I don't think you need privacy here so I really love how it lets all the natural light flood in as well I don't like this fireplace although I know it's probably historically preserved and people out there clutching their pearls but we're going to visually expand the fireplace to take up more of the wall and create this like Central gaming area and I'm going to use this beautiful Zig tile it's from Morocco it's meant to be imperfect and then off to the left we're going to put a built-in with this beautiful CKY green paint by pharaoh and ball and it's going to be where we house all our board games and anything else that sort of belongs in a game room with regard to the fireplace I feel very strongly that it should be bigger but I'm going to go with a very traditional breia Capra or calicot Viola marble but but I will say I love a mantle because I personally celebrate Christmas which is a holiday requiring stockings for Santa so I do want to retain this shelf that mantle shelf rather than running the marble all the way up the wall on the right hand side in the original space we've got this sort of tiny non-descript wood door it's meant to be a hidden door I think a room like this deserves a grand entrance so I'm going to expand the door to make it a double door and we're going to carry the wallpaper from the back all the way around to the right for the ceiling I would love to continue the blue to the sofits there's currently these drop panels I want to remove those they feel overbearing in my opinion and I think it would be really cool if we did a mirror tile treatment inside each of the sophs to help reflect the natural light that's coming into the space and also introduce a new more modern material into the room the ceiling in our original room has like a funny sort of tray ceiling I'm not really sure what's going on there but I don't like it so I'm going to get rid of it and I'm going to build out a coford ceiling but we're going to create sort of this grid design that's going to mirror the fireplace and mirror the floor in between each of these squares I'm going to use my favorite wallpaper so we're going to get a gold glow I am going to flatten the ceiling and the reason why is I want to do something really major mural Wise It's actually like a Super Hyper colorful version of something that I've done in collaboration with decorative artist Caroline lisar Raga on a similarly sized Victorian living room in San Francisco in real life but it's kind of like a watercolor looking sort of like splashes of rainbow I love the idea of a finish like that because there's a lot of negative space a lot of quiet white ceiling and then gorgeous splashes of color like all over the place that just sort of make the whole room feel Whimsical and improvisational and I love that in a hosting space one of the funny challenges about having a large room is that sometimes it's a little bit too large there are totally times where I have clients with homes this size and rooms this size where they're like how do I even decorate this thing with a room of this size there's a lot of different ways to approach it for this space specifically I want to try and create a focal point in the center with the furniture I'm obsessed with this vintage sofa by claudo saloi it's from the 1960s I'm going to reupholster the sofa in this really beautiful soft cream Leather by maharam next to the sofa I want to bring in this beautiful bamboo and Brass side table by Gabriella cresy as I think about furniture I need to Zone this room right this is a long long very large room and I want there to be beautiful spaces for hosting but also spaces for sort of like quiet contemplation or maybe just two people so we'll do an Accenture kind of over here then I love they of that big swoopy sectional I love a sectional sofa in a space that doesn't have a TV cuz what it connotes is everyone is together having a shared experience talking to each other we'll do coffee table this marcine rusack table it's like resin with actual Botanical flour suspended forever in the resin we're going to put side tables all over the place so people can kind of like Custom Tailor how close the table surface is for their drink or their phone it's a game room almost like a mini Casino so in our back area I'm calling this the High Roller room we need a big table with these beautiful Kelly Worster chairs everything again has that sort of Checker Motif then moving forward in front of the partitions it's going to get louder and a little more boisterous less serious so we've got our Central area for taboo or whatever loud games we want to play we've got these curved Sofas in these beautiful velvet Fabrics this is a pink velvet fabric from TBO and then this is a green mohare and I think together they kind of echo all of our tones in the carpet on our wall tile and then we've got a central table for drinks or whatever else we want to rest in the middle while we're playing off to the left we've got a smaller sort of card table and then off to the right we've got our bar cuz obviously we need drinks it's a party room at the end of the day the chairs are the future perfect in Los Angeles they are green satin with a beautiful gold Fringe they swivel they're stunning and they're comfortable I'm going to group them around this marble top table table for like kind of an elegant upscale look we're not going casual here we're going very very Lux as for accent chairs I want to do like a mix of old and new so the new is going to be the Super furry little friend from the compan Bros and then for the old cuz we're doing both sides of time in this room these vintage pieces from Blackman Cruz in Los Angeles they're velvet they're sort of worn and they're from Italy on the right side of the room I really want to add a bookshelf I chose this Elis bookshelf by Pierre poin it's a beautiful honeycomb Bentwood design I think it goes really well with the geometric shapes that we have going on throughout the space and the idea of a honeycomb fits into that Whimsical Summer of Love hippie thematic we have going on instead of this like big Demi Lon table I'm just going to do a credenza cuz you could always use a little bit of storage no matter how big your house is this one from khed Elm is so colorful it's wood it's retan it's caning but it's also like leather wrapped pipes that go around the perimeter of it and it looks gorgeous from every single angle on the left side of the room I think this is a great opportunity to bring in pieces that have more organic curves to them to offset the squares and the rectangles we have going on I would love to add this cabinet by Nicola L she's one of my favorite artist of all time she was a Moroccan born French artist who was known for her witty humanlike sculptures that really fused art with function bringing in this piece not only creates a talking point within the room but also introduces a sort of new silhouette that we don't have going on in the room on the right side of the fireplace I want to bring in this amazing piece it's by Claude Leon it's called the crocodile banquet and I think it's just a piece that exudes extravagance and elegance with regard to Lighting in this room everything in this room should be ambient it's a hosting space you don't need to like do your math homework in this room I'm actually going to use the Rivier Chandelier from my new new collection it's a total peeve of mine in hosting spaces to be reclining on the sofa and as you look up you're staring directly into light bulbs so that's why I wanted to cover the bulbs with alabaster stone so you already have a lens that helps diffuse the light and because they shine outward it's more about ambient light so remember that coford ceiling the idea is that each grid has one of these beautiful sort of glass pendants in them and they're going to be at staggered Heights for a very candle lit Garden outdoor Midsummer Nights Dream kind of look and then in the game room the High Roller room we've got this beautiful dramatic Chandelier from Soho home the sconces on the fireplace out from London and they've got this beautiful fringe on them that kind of Echoes what's happening with our swivel chairs in the little card table up here on the left and then my favorite piece which is actually a really simple piece from anthropology is this wall mount sconce of a hand holding a lamp above the bar and I just think it's like really fun and Whimsical and kind of cute I really went to do a cool lighting installation this naguchi aari light sculpture it's made out of paper it brings a bit of delicateness to the space while still complimenting the geometric patterns that we have going on it gives off a nice glow light and I think it'll bounce really nicely off of all the blue walls I'm going to do sconces on either side of the fireplace and those are also for my collection they feel like angular and weird almost like origami sheets of brass and then there's like a rot crystal inside and then in the Corner over here I just want to have like a totem it's from Allied maker again I have Alabaster up in the ceiling light so I wanted an alabaster friend that I didn't create there's something almost spiritual about the light warming itself through the alabaster so I've been talking about the paneling Custom Tailoring it I'm envisioning that we do custom siiz panels on either side of this wider fireplace that house Daisy Patton portraits Daisy Patton is this amazing artist out of Boston I want some real plant life we're just going to do an olive tree over by the window and then we're going to do like a gorgeous little Arrangement right on that mantle use that shelf space and a friend of mine in

that's why I wanted to cover the bulbs with alabaster stone so you already have a lens that helps diffuse the light and because they shine outward it's more about ambient light so remember that coford ceiling the idea is that each grid has one of these beautiful sort of glass pendants in them and they're going to be at staggered Heights for a very candle lit Garden outdoor Midsummer Nights Dream kind of look and then in the game room the High Roller room we've got this beautiful dramatic Chandelier from Soho home the sconces on the fireplace out from London and they've got this beautiful fringe on them that kind of Echoes what's happening with our swivel chairs in the little card table up here on the left and then my favorite piece which is actually a really simple piece from anthropology is this wall mount sconce of a hand holding a lamp above the bar and I just think it's like really fun and Whimsical and kind of cute I really went to do a cool lighting installation this naguchi aari light sculpture it's made out of paper it brings a bit of delicateness to the space while still complimenting the geometric patterns that we have going on it gives off a nice glow light and I think it'll bounce really nicely off of all the blue walls I'm going to do sconces on either side of the fireplace and those are also for my collection they feel like angular and weird almost like origami sheets of brass and then there's like a rot crystal inside and then in the Corner over here I just want to have like a totem it's from Allied maker again I have Alabaster up in the ceiling light so I wanted an alabaster friend that I didn't create there's something almost spiritual about the light warming itself through the alabaster so I've been talking about the paneling Custom Tailoring it I'm envisioning that we do custom siiz panels on either side of this wider fireplace that house Daisy Patton portraits Daisy Patton is this amazing artist out of Boston I want some real plant life we're just going to do an olive tree over by the window and then we're going to do like a gorgeous little Arrangement right on that mantle use that shelf space and a friend of mine in San Francisco he's my floral designer co-conspirator Mr Lee and I love that his sculptures are actively in Decay that's what flowers are right morbid but true and I think there's something really cool about having something that's always changing being a focal point in the room we're going to use mirrors to help bounce light through and they're just going to be fun shapes it's like a really fun Starburst mirror over the credenza then over the fireplace this one that I found on first dibs is almost like kind of a handle and then like a pot or a pan of mirror underneath it since most of the furniture that we've add ined thus far is kind of Art in and of itself I want to be super selective with the art and the decor that we're bringing in I would love to put a mirror over the fireplace I'm going to choose this amazing piece by mishaan he's a contemporary artist who I think is doing really cool things in between the two French doors I'm going to add this beautiful ceramic sculpture by Norwegian artist torian cavazo and I'm going to display it on a very simple black pedestal I'm going to add in an art piece by the artist Lauren Hy an artist from South Central LA that I'm a huge fan of it has a neutral palette and also plays with the geometric shape in this room The Styling is really what's going to bring it to life we've got this giant palm tree we're going for Casablanca Monaco that upscale tropical feel adding to the drama on the back High Roller room table we've got a dramatic flower arrangement and then in terms of accessories we've got our game shelf with all of our games whatever you feel like you can just walk over and pull an option off the shelf to me this room screams fun and it's like ready for a sexy night this is like no kids are hanging out in here this is adults only we're coming in here after dinner everybody's ready for some cigars and some drinks and you know who knows what else but we're coming in here to you know have a good time let loose play some games maybe win a little money and again maybe if we turn the music up take off our shoes and jump on the couches you know that's kind of what the room is for I'm really happy with how this room turned out I really achieved the goal of trying to brighten up the space and making it feel welcoming and Lively it feels like a much more modern and inviting space but still very respectful to a lot of the original features that we wanted to preserve my final thoughts on this room are I love it I love color but like Earthbound color it's a little bit Fantastical yeah I'll move right in oh wow oh my God everything is so different I love the IND this is super different this is my game night room you created a partition a partition cuz this is like where we the serious card players go oh that's like the High Roller that's the High Roller room that's amazing but this rug like tell me everything oh my gosh it's out of control right I've been dying to use it in a project by Edward Fields it's called Daisy beautiful but it's like it's always gets default into like a nursery and all it's like you know what I'm going to make it happen in the living room I think this will help people understand like have fun yeah you know exactly and whimsic cool wait no it's your your ceiling girl oh my God is it watercolor this is actually like a decorative finish that I've done in a Victorian living room project in San Francisco all of us kind of went Whimsical I think but I think these people are friends yeah I think so friends who like go to each other's houses game night over here like this is defo party like like space like cocktail hour yes and that's like te part cuddle pudle like oh my God I love okay so we start in ha's room and then we transition to mine for drinks and then
