It s completely opposite of what I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be very heavily ornate with big columns on the outside, but I was very pleasantly surprised at the thought that went into it, the wonderful ideas they had, how sensible it was, and how they used the quality of the space, rather than the quantity of the space, he said.
After the abode was constructed, more than 20 interior designers got to work creating room vignettes using the resources of the Michigan Design Center.
Kristen Catto Interior Designs (KCID) owner Kristen Catto Armstrong and her colleague Katie Saracino joined forces to design the master bedroom and adjoining sitting room.
Armstrong said she and Saracino were given the option of turning the unnamed adjoining room which shares a fireplace with the master bedroom into a nursery, an exercise room, or anything else they wanted.
My business partner and I laughed, and I said, There is no way I would want a baby that close, and she said, There s no way I d want to feel guilty about not exercising, so we decided to turn it into a snug sitting room, she said.
Instead of following the trend of putting the TV over the fireplace in the master bedroom, the two designers decided to place it over the fireplace in the sitting room to create a master bedroom that really yields itself to relaxing, sleeping, dressing and preparing for the day.
I m a mother of three kids, and just knowing how many people end up in our bedroom every night before bed, I thought it would be so great to have this extra room, Armstrong said.
The master bedroom which is painted in Nantucket gray, a greenish-gray color has an American walnut fireplace with dark empredor marble. It features a king-sized bed, night tables, a chair that sits up next to the fireplace with a floor reading lamp and an antique bench at the end of the bed



Q: We have 1-foot-long logs from a bay laurel tree that fell in our yard, and we thought we would use them for firewood on some rainy night in December. Now I wonder whether bay laurel is too resiny to safely burn in a fireplace. Will it explode and/or coat the interior of our fireplace with dangerous resin or sap?
