Last night their remodeler held a cocktail party to show off the finished product, which they're moving into next week. Lemon martinis and passed hors d'oeuvres had the place full, but today and tomorrow it's on the remodeled homes tour. They had a good crowd, but it cleared out around lunch time so I walked down the hall and took some shots.
They didn't change the layout of the entry hall, just the surfaces. They kept the marble flooring we all have in our entries, but hung a metallic geometric wallpaper, mirrored the columns (we have one of these in our bedroom, unmirrored), and added a pair of deco consoles and big mirrors with rustic chinoiserie frames.
All of us were really taken by how breathtakingly beautiful they've made their space. The guest bedroom and bath are finished but the furniture hasn't arrived yet so I didn't take a picture. They're just as gorgeous as the rest of the place
If you're close to, or in KC (and I'm thinking of you Mrs. B) you should stop by tomorrow between noon and 5pm. TOTALLY worth a look.

Holy z-moley! Thank God someone is still doing this level of work in this economy.
I can see why the remodeler wanted to show off his accomplishment with an open house. It's absolutely amazing.
What a space! Absolutely beautiful!
I wish you girls could stand in it. The majority of the cabinetry hardware is a polished chrome, and with the glass and mirror, the chandeliers, the shimmery velvet upholstery and the pale paint colors on the walls and built-ins the whole place just shimmers.
The neighbors themselves are just really lovely as well. And they have a big old rhodesian ridgeback I adore as well. It's so nice to see this come together for them.
Georgeous building! The finishes are equisite how lucky you are to live in such a beautiful space.
You guys were right - totally terrific.
OMD, that is totally fab! Just incredible.
BTW, I'm just east of KC tonight on my way back to Denver with a truck/trailer. If you check this email, give me a call; maybe we can get together tomorrow. Or not, but thought I'd say hi since I'm in your area. Also am so tired I can hardly think...
But that space. Wow. It is gorgeous.
D! Shoot me an email at buzzcut67@aol.com, it would be great to get together if you're heading through!
OMD cracks me up every time. And I inadvertently type dog every time. :-)
This place is so freakin' fab!!
wow. Really striking. I'm too messy to live somewhere like that. The great thing about living in an old cottage in England is that if you forget to do the housework, you can pass it off as 'shabby chic'!
