What do a downtown condo, a lake home and apartments have in common?  We installed at least one of each this week!  Needless to say, this job is never boring! We (Emily, Toni & I) were in downtown Austin on Monday to install an entire 3 bedroom condo.  The client requested a gray, red and blue color scheme that was style appropriate to a condo, but not too contemporary.  Here is a quick before & after:

BEFORE AFTER Tuesday we drove out to Lakeway for a lake view home we have been working on.  It felt like we were at a vacation resort.  Here is another brief before & after:

BEFORE   AFTER (minus the custom rug which will not be in until December!) Wednesday, Scott, Emily and I drove up to Ft. Worth and then Frisco (near Dallas) for 2 apartment clubhouse remodels we have been working on.  These projects have been a lot of fun, totally different from residential design.  Here is a before and after of the Frisco lobby.

We topped the night off attending the ASID Legacy of Design Awards ceremony at the Dallas Market Center.  I won a First Place award for Best Residential Kitchen.  And, an honorable mention for a home office with reclaimed wood wall.  Design Guide magazine sponsored the award and will feature each winner in their magazine. We made it home around 11pm and I was back at the office around 7:30am as Emily, Toni and I headed to San Antonio measure a current client’s new build home, to finish the install of a clubhouse and then measure the space for our next clubhouse project. Here is a photo of the clubhouse project we just finished:

So, today is Friday and needless to say, I am exhausted, as is the rest of the team.  That said, we are so grateful for the business and truly enjoy the diversity of all the projects we have the opportunity to work on.  Now, I need to go back to work to get ready for next week!
