I got an email from my friend and client in Colorado last night and I decided it may be time for a visit
. I did her house a few years ago and I did and a 'Jane Coslick Happy Place' above the garage and away from the main living spaces.(In Case I ever needed to run away)
This space has some of my favorite FFF's (funky fabulous finds) and a great Lee Industries sofa with the perfect size bench seat cushion for watching the world drift by. The view of Sleeping Giant Mountain is breathe taking and so are the sunsets and cool nights and great fires we build.
It is such a contrast to the beach but the Elk river runs by so I still get my water fix.....
When I started the project....
I decided that turquoise being both a beach and a mountain color, would be the thread of color that was woven thru the house.

matched the room...tee hee! |

I almost couldn't part with this table when I bought it in Charleston SC.
I wanted it for myself at the the beach. |
In the main house, I decided that all the dark wood needed some southern softening.. so thick red linen slip covered sofas became the focus of the room.
|
on my "had to have" list .. hallway light at top of the stairwell
|
|
the view of Sleeping giant mountain |
|
I found this cool funky door at Habersham antiques Galley in Savannah
When I shipped it out to Steamboat they all laughed and made fun...
UNTIL it was hung!!!
I need to call and see if "my" room is available......... |
