Our adventure into creating a dramatic Man Cave for our fave salon in Middletown, CT continues!
Part II in our mini-series is all about the Process. (If you missed part I, click here). We've got the space, we've got the wish, now we just have to make it all happen.
Remember that tight deadline? So things have been a little nutty here. But that's how we work best! Creating a custom look is all about having unique, interesting and inventive touches. When pieces hail from different countries and eras; when they combine all kinds of textures and feel; when they come together to create a masterful space, you know you're headed for something stunning.
Of course... getting these particular pieces takes time. In order to achieve the space we are envisioning, of course we had to specify that decadent Mica Wallcovering from Belgium! And how about an oversized vintage mirror, with a glossy custom finish? And those sleek, contemporary leaning mirrors? Check! Now we just have to put it all together.
It's going to be down to the wire...in heels and after hours. But it's totally worth it and we have a strong feeling that it's going to turn out great.
Part II - The Process
Initial Presentation Board
Close Ups of Presentation Board
Found the perfect mirror for one of the stations in the Man Cave! Now it just needs the perfect finish... here we go!
Old Mirror in main work area of Man Cave...
Dark, heavy, and minimal mirror space due to thick frame.
New Mirror!
Clean, simple, and LOTS of mirror with a minimalistic frame,
make the work station feel much larger.
We are adding another work station, so we are losing the single wall light above the current mirror, and replacing it with 4 sconces.. one on either side of the two new mirrors.
With so much cool lighting out there, it's hard to select just ONE!
We have also decided to replace an existing recessed light with a pendant, to help identify the area where products are going to be displayed. Choices, choices!
With so much cool lighting out there, it's hard to select just ONE!
And probably our favorite element... a custom resin partition with bits of
scarlet red glass encased in it - YUM!
Stay tuned for Part III - the Result!
