It was such a pleasure to work alongside you Susan; to help and assist with your new family wall. It was an awesome project. Thank you for the kind review - so appreciated. best GRJ

This was one of the best projects of the year for me where everything just 'clicked.' After all, all projects have challenges; whether it be in design, budget, or having product arrive on-time and on budget - things you have no control of. Having engaging clients like Mr. + Mrs. Tessier are a testament to how projects evolve and come out looking great. Mrs. T, gave up her time to sit down and draw with me her design ideas on my iPad when we first started to talk about her Office/den ideas - the full-wish list plus requesting some soon-to-be discarded head-boards and old coffee tables be re-purposed for her new projects.
I designed a shallow niche book-shelf and off-season clothing rack for her room that stretched across an unused portion of her den/office. Only 14" deep, it seems volumous without being monolithic. Her old walnut head-board was cut down in three sections to accommodate a floating door scenario with internal adjustable shelves. The mirror was top-hung with a blind internal running rail to easily and effortless slide over to access her off-season clothing/storage.
Even her Gold Trophies and many work awards and citations were given a prominent placement at the top of the casement composition with a LV thrust lighting to add dramatic back-lite giving the one light room more of a welcoming ambient glow. We incorporated the on/off switch in the toe-kick of the unit - as the adjacent wall ( we found out later ) was a support cement wall. It was an awesome project for some pretty-terrific people. Thanks so much for the great review Mrs. T! - GRJ

Thanks for this Catherine,
It was a pleasure to help and assist you with your beautiful arched window this Summer. After ridding the existing MDF trim ( which was a bad choice from the beginning ) and replacing it with a clear pine, it will certainly give you and your family more years of enjoyment. Glad to have helped. It was a rewarding project seeing it coming together and working with you. Best to you, GRJ
