Project details

This project involved the design and renovation of a personal residence in North Carolina. Located in the small mountain town of Tryon, the acclaimed Tryon International Equestrian Center offered the ideal backdrop for the owners' global taste acquired from a lifetime of travel. Retirees from Houston, TX purchasing their first vacation home, the goal of the project was to create personal reminisce of their journey within the 1940s cottage architecture juxtaposed against the comfort offered by new furnishings for a fresh beginning.

My contributions involved sourcing local unique furnishings and fixtures throughout the cottage in addition to the adjacent guest house on the 3 acre property. Interior renovations involved color and material specifications and procurement, including custom upholstery and styling.

Results

The project was procured over a short time frame of 12 weeks and the client arrived from out of state to be part of the installation. They are currently living in Tryon full time for 9 months of the year residing in Houston through the winter months.
