As I mentioned in my last post, Steve and I are in the middle of installing our room in the Gilt Home Showhouse.
This is what the room looked like when we first saw it.
The burlap panels were installed last week. They add some scale to the room.
On Monday, our electrician, Sam A. Electric, replaced the sconces with picture lights and hung the chandelier while Steve and I layered the floor with beautiful hand woven carpets.
Nick, our art installer, secured the Gustavian clock and hung Steve's paintings and drawings on all of the walls.
At this point, the room looks like a mess. Will we be able to pull it together?
Nick made copies of Steve's nude sketches that will be for sale on the Gilt City site during the event. They look beautiful next to the Gustavian desk.
As more of Steve's paintings were hung, the room started to come together!
The room isn't quite ready for its close-up just yet. It still needs more accessories, pillows, plants, arranging, but it is definitely getting there!
We'll be going back to the house on Friday to finish up. I promise to post new images as soon as I can! More information about the Gilt Home Showhouse will be available next week.
