Paradise Valley Arizona Interior Designer Showhouse 2009
As the final weekend for the $20 Million 2009 AFM Designer Showhouse in Paradise Valley, Arizona comes to an end, I can't help but think how encouraged and optimistic I feel about the Arizona interior design community. In hopes of increasing awareness of their individual companies, several of the Valley’s most talented interior designers joined forces to design the interior of this magnificent mountainside home.
For this amazing event, I was presented with the challenge to design the library. Ultimately, I took the rules of design and threw them out the window by opting for a highly eclectic approach to design. I infused a balanced blend of the old and the new as well as masculine and feminine elements. I believe the eclectic mixture caused the library to stand apart from the rest of the competition. I noticed that as the Designer Showhouse tour guests entered my room, they would suddenly lower their voices and the ooohhs and ahhhhs would begin.
Two beautiful contemporary chairs are balanced by a vintage chair from the 1940's. The chairs are anchored by a dominate black velvet chesterfield sofa. The detailed cherry cabinets and coffered ceiling help to create a sense of intimacy in the room. The color palette is ruled by black, creams, and grays. The texture in each material offers the room a sense of depth. The vintage books that I found in Phoenix antique shops give the room a feeling of comfort and warmth. I have spent a tremendous amount of time in this room and I hope the buyer of this magnificent home appreciates the library’s charming qualities.
This AFM Designer Showhouse was my first exposure to this type of event and it was a privilege to have the opportunity to contribute my efforts. I am humbled and honored to have been listed side-by-side with my esteemed colleagues from several of the Valley’s notable interior design firms.
