New construction complete…

January 29, 2012 Posted in Exterior Details, Work

I’m a little late in saying this, but happy new year!

Wow, has this year taken off like a horse out of the gate!! 2012 is already bringing wonderful things. I am finishing up a few projects (lots of pics coming soon!!), still in the midst of some, and starting a few new ones – all of which I am thrilled about.

Right before the holidays, we finished up a custom new construction project in downtown Atlanta. It has a modern Frank Lloyd Wright feel with the clean lines and simplicity of the architecture. The builder, JR McDowell homes, the homeowner, and I all became quite the design team working out many custom details, both inside and out, on siteThe homeowner was so much fun to work and I think the end result displays a home that captures all the design goals he set at the beginning of the project.

Many people may not realize that as an Interior Designer I also do a lot of Exterior work – paint color, material selection, trim details, etc. On this house, we wanted to make sure all the material finishes flowed from one to the next and stayed true to the architectural style of the home. My favorite detail we worked out was the railing on the rear porch.

The home flows effortlessly from the exterior to the interior, capturing many of the same qualities of simplicity and clean lines.

Kind of a great house right?? As I said, it was a great project to be a part of so hope you all enjoy!!

Enjoy your day!

Fleet Feet Complete!

November 10, 2011 Posted in Display, Work

Happy Thursday! It officially feels like winter tonight in Atlanta – boy is it chilly outside (and I must add that I am not thrilled that it is so dark outside at 6:00 either -Disliking the whole time change very much)! On a positive note, I just got some pictures back of a commercial space I finished up and I’m super excited to share! This was such a fun project to work on because it was a bit different from what I normally do on a day to day basis. At this Fleet Feet Sports we were really able to give the store a unique feel using old barn wood, pipes and re-purposing several found objects. I think the result turned out great!

Loving the signage I found – They are actually letters wrapped in old ceiling tins. The shoes are displayed on tables and recycled wooden soda trays rather than wall racks and the “partitions” holding the socks are vintage doors. We also made the light out of an old basket and attached some running numbers from local races.

All of the wall display racks were distressed and wrapped in chunky barn wood.

This was one of my favorite finds -It is an old display from a hardware store! The lights above the cash wrap were baskets that used to hold golf balls at a driving range – Repurposing is so much fun (and I have an amazing electrician!

We used chicken wire inserts on these cabinet doors. On display are T-Shirts from the Peachtree Road Race framed in Barnwood Frames.

The display racks were made out of pipes, old pine, and casters. I think they turned out fantastic!

A HUGE Thank you to Raftermen Photography for the amazing pictures!

Hope you all enjoy!

Best,

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

I am SO excited to finally roll out the new look of L Kae Interiors! Its been in the works for a little while now, and I am so thrilled to finally be sharing it with you.

First off, I have to say I am very blessed to have an amazing group of friends that support me everyday with all my ventures. I am also super fortunate to have close friends that are very artistic and overly talented in other creative fields! It is inspiring to surround yourself with people that love what they do and have fun during the process! I have to send out a HUGE thank you to two wonderful ladies whom made this “brand revamp” possible. I met both of them first year at SCAD and it makes me giddy that they are still in my life and we are all doing what we love to do everyday.

The AMAZING new logo was created by Mackenzie Brookshire. She did such a beautiful job at capturing the spirit of L Kae Interiors and I couldn’t be any happier!

Next Thank you goes out to the wonderfully talented Genya Garrett with Vue Photography. This is the third shoot that I have completed with Genya and I just don’t think there is anyone out there that can capture light, laughter, and personality like she can. I am just in awe every time I see what she comes up.

I hope you all like the new look! As always, I love to hear your thoughts.

Enjoy your day!

Kitchen Remodel complete!

September 11, 2011 Posted in Kitchen, Work

Hi All!

Well summer has flown by and I can’t believe that we have already landed in September! It really felt like fall this week – which I am absolutely thrilled about. This northern girl is way over this Georgia Heat! Summer was filled with lots of remodels and many of them are wrapping up.

These are some Before and After shots of a kitchen remodel I just finished. The original space was a small U-Shape with the laundry room in a small closet (located behind the star burst mirror).

We bumped the back wall of the house out a few feet, added some doors that let in a ton of natural light and reworked the entire kitchen laundry layout. The new layout is much more open and although the space is new, it flows really well with the existing spaces and overall is an amazing transformation!

We had more length than width in the space so visually we decided it would be better to create a pantry out of cabinetry rather than a “closet” type space and I think it worked out great!!

If you are looking at the before pics, this new wine bar area is where the old laundry closet was.

Love this Apron front sink from Rohl. It is a perfect addition to the space!! We also did a large framed chalk board (magnetic as well!) you can see in the back. That door lead to the new laundry space tucked away in the corner.

The back splash was a clean and simple subway tile, but we used a contrasting grout to tie in the tons of the counter top and add a little more visual interest!
