New Normandie Portfolio/Modern Mid-Century Decor

Happy Spring!

Here are some photos just newly added to my portfolio of a project on the Gatineau side that I was fortunate to work on.  The clients love mid-century modern design so there are some classics in their space.  Other than the Arco floor lamp, the Corbusier lounger, the wood antler accessory (found in their walk-out basement), and the harvest dining table, the space was transformed with all new decor, a new paint colour and removal of the fireplace stone tile facade.  I am including some before photos so you can see the difference.  In the before photos, note that their existing furniture was re-positioned during the initial consult to give them a sense of the new proposed arrangement.

TIP: If applying stone to a fireplace facade with no distinct mantel or wood surround and want to achieve a modern aesthetic, then it is best to wrap all three sides horizontally to the wall and vertically to the ceiling for an arresting focal point
