ASID Showcase Home Tour 2010

May 11th, 2010

We are now only four days away from the opening of the 2010 ASID Showcase Home Tour opening to the public!  This has been such a fun, challenging, rewarding process and I’ve really enjoyed working with all the team members.  The staff at Vujovich Builders was a pleasure to work with, as were the staff at Mpls.St.Paul magazine.  It’s amazing to see how much work everyone has put into making this house and the condo amazing over the course of five months (plus months of additinal preplanning). 

         

This is what the bedroom looked like before I got my hands on it. 

It was the older sister’s room, and she has very different interests than her younger brother. 

He likes sports, sports, sports.

                

So the challenge was how to create a space for a 12 year old boy that likes all different types of sports, that can evolve with him as he gets older, and doesn’t become dated or too young looking.

Solution #1:  A sophisticated masculine color palette of grays, deep indigo blue, crisp white, and accents of orange to keep it light and playful. 

Solution #2: Incorporate art that references all his favorite sports, without utilizing posters of specific athletes.  Large wall stickers, custom framed vintage baseball card art, and a spot for a rotating display of his current favorite athletes achieve this goal.

Aren’t you excited to see it?!  I know I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of the finished product.

Be sure to get your tickets soon so you can be one of the first to see all this great design 26 interiors designers created in two different homes (available at lots of area retailers as well as on the Mpls.St.Paul magazine’s website).
