A Magnificent Array

You may or may not know that Panoply means "a magnificent array". The name was chosen for our business for obvious reasons. Designers strive to create beautiful surroundings for everyone to enjoy. While the average person, with little design interest or talent, might scoff at the notion, one can't help but be happier when surrounded by a beautiful and functional space. This includes commercial spaces as well as residential.


 Studio Q Furniture and Artwork by McMillan 

Recently we were contacted by Outmed, LLC and Delta Community Credit Union to design the atrium area, elevator lobbies and corridors of their Newnan location. The building interior, a wonderful piece of architecture designed by Summer Wise and Associates, begged for color and comfort.

Our charge was to outfit the space with furniture, accent lighting, area rugs and fabulous artwork. Our partnership with the Flint Gallery of Panoply gave us the perfect resource to bring something truly unique to the space. Commissioned work by local artist McMillan, Georgie Dunn and Atlanta-based artist Jeff Surace now fill the space. Furnishings from Studio Q and David Edward provide guest seating and custom area rugs and plants bring warmth and comfort to the hard interior finishes. The look is completed by contemporary chandeliers over each seating area.


 
Studio Q Furniture and Artwork by McMillan

All of the artwork in the atrium area is original work including the fabulous grouping in the main elevator corridor. These pieces, a series of trees painted with gold and silver leaf and finished with a thick coat of lacquer, are stunning! McMillan, known internationally for his work, created the pieces on plywood boxes and installed them in a grid system that allows the viewer to see them individually from a close perspective and as a whole composition from farther away. The effect is spectacular!

It is a pleasure working with original artwork on any project. The collaboration between Panoply and the Flint Gallery is a true partnership that can bring solutions to many projects with varying degrees of budgets. Call us and we can discuss your project too!

Dining Room Stunner


                         (Top image is before; bottom image is after)

Christi M. Estes, ASID

It is always gratifying to be able to see a job come to completion. But it is extra gratifying to see one start out dated and unsightly and end up absolutely stunning! This was the case on a recent project of mine.

The project began as an interior update and turned into a full-blown, whole house renovation. Walking into the home for the first time, I could see that the house was bursting with potential. The architectural bones were beautiful and the details amazing; yet the flow, furnishings and accessories were straight from the 1980’s. And rightly so. The home’s last update was in the early 80’s. Think mauve, baby blue, forest green and lots of heavy draperies and brown furniture. My client, a wonderful lady who has an exquisite eye and great taste, wanted to bring the stately home up to date and capture the essence of it’s original splendor.

Upon touring the house, the room that immediately caught my eye was, interestingly enough, the dining room. This room was fully visible upon entering the home. It featured a wonderful cut crystal chandelier, a huge bow window with views of the home’s grounds (soon to be perfectly manicured), and a dated scenic wallpaper that had, over the years, become faded and water stained. The room also featured lots and lots of BROWN furniture. But in my mind’s eye I saw glamour, sophistication, texture, ambient lighting and blue!

As we worked on finding just the right finishes and pieces for the room, we also worked to improve the visibility of the room when entering the home. We raised the existing cased opening into the space and widened the doorway, flanking it with pilasters which matched those already in the house’s original architecture. We removed the existing hand painted wallpaper and replaced it with a Glam Grass paper by Phillip Jeffries. The hint of silver in the paper works beautifully with the cut glass chandelier! We also enveloped the room with a crisp painted wainscoting, adding raised molding details.

Choosing to keep the huge brown wood dining room table and buffet, we combined these staple pieces with contrasting dining chairs and lighted china cabinets from Hickory Chair. These pieces incorporated blue upholstery and paint accents as well as a wonderful creamy/beige paint finish that perked up the brown furnishings. A curved, gold gilded console from Amy Howard was selected to float in front of the bow window and was flanked with caned armchairs (Hickory Chair) upholstered in a velvet harlequin pattern. Surrounding the room, a soft glow is cast by beautiful lamps and interior lighting in the china cabinets. Heavy draperies were replaced with a Lee Jofa linen print and a plush wool area rug from Sharian adds additional softness to the space. Italian glass art and original artwork finish the room. The result is a masterpiece of sophistication. Simply stunning! Just see the pictures and judge for yourself!

Bathroom Bling



Bathroom Bling
Christi M. Estes, ASID

Have you ever tried to put lipstick on a pig? If so, you know that little can be done to transform the innately ugly into something beautiful. Such was the case on a recent project of mine.

This turn of the century farm house includes grounds of beautiful, expansive countryside and a charming wrap around covered porch, but the interior of the master suite was definitely not a selling point. Believers of working with what you've got, the clients hired me to help them with the renovations in their new home. Having enjoyed a long standing relationship with me, they knew that I would be able to rise to the challenges of the project which included a brick chimney chase coming up the middle of the master bedroom and a windowless master bathroom. Then, just as we finished implementing the final design elements of the existing space, fate intervened. An electrical fire destroyed the entire upstairs of the home. Devastating as it seemed, it gave the homeowners just the opportunity they needed to make the space the haven that they desired.
By completely re-working the space plan of the upstairs, I was able to create a spacious master bedroom and a luxurious spa-like bathroom in a challenging attic space.

When designing the new master bath, I took the long narrow space and divided it into functional zones. A 4'X4' shower with spa quality fixtures was designed, a 4'X4' private toilet room that retains an original brick chimney chase, and a built-in linen cupboard with the look of a furniture piece were incorporated. A double vanity was designed to run the length of the bathroom. A claw foot tub and picture window complete the bathroom. These elements create a wonderful focal point when looking into the room and are situated on an old-fashioned looking marble floor.
In keeping with the character of the farmhouse, design elements utilized include vintage looking ceiling beams, marble countertops and flooring, and furniture-look built in cabinetry pieces. An antique inspired crystal chandelier was also installed.

But modern amenities and elements were not forgotten. The couple desired a jetted tub, towel warmer and a spa-like color scheme. To accommodate these wishes, I incorporated a focal wall of floor to ceiling mosaic glass tile in varying tones of blue that serves as the backdrop for the picture window and jetted claw foot tub. An electric towel warmer provides the couple with warm linens after each shower and bath. Glass tile is also applied in intricate patterns in the shower. Vanity sinks are hand made glass vessels finished in an opalescent blue/green finish. And as a nod to their love of animals, the clients chose a charming pewter turtle drain for each sink. Crisp stainless steel and chrome fixtures reflect the gemstone looking tile, broaden the room with their mirror-like quality and give an overall jewelry box feel. Lastly, the shower was custom designed with body sprays strategically placed to hit the client’s problematic lower back and ceiling rain tiles provide a soothing shower experience.

The results are breathtaking. And the homeowners, as they sit in the claw footed tub and look out the picture window at the beautiful surrounding countryside, couldn't agree more!
