Framing a beautiful Great Bay View

When you have views that are incredible and ever changing with the seasons and the times of day, you build a room to complement those views. we were honored to recently help these clients complete this stunning project. My only regret is that our poor photography does not do justice to the room, theview or the treatments we created.

These valences were a challenge due to the curved walls and the interescting staircase. Yes, we were somewhat nervous, but very pleased when everything fit perfectly.

Get warm and cozy: Fall redecorating can help your home transition from summer to winter

Posted by Laurie A. Cerny | Kalamazoo Gazette October 12, 2008

Fall is the best time of the year to rejuvenate home decor. A great summer is already weeks behind us, and the holidays are less than two months away. Local home-improvement experts say this is the time to make a few updates and to decorate to embrace the cooler temperatures ahead.

Autumnal plants, as in this setting at Patricia White Interiors, help set the tone for the season. You also can pick nontraditional artificial flowers and foliage like tulips and roses in fall colors.One of the first things that can be changed for the fall is the front entryway. And it can start at the front door with a fresh coat of paint, said Dian Latora, owner of Corklane Decorating Center.

Another touch is to add some potted mums at the front door and a seasonal wreath. “That is the first thing people see when they come to the front door,” Latora said.

Inside the home, the foyer is another place a seasonal change could be made, by adding or changing an area rug, she said. Picking up some of the season’s colors of gold, browns and reds helps to make the change from summer to fall.

In addition to the entryway and foyer, Latora said, the living areas of the home should be the focus of the season and would be great places to make updates. Among things that could be done are changing window treatments (or just top treatments) and replacing the fabric on upholstered dining-room chairs.
