Brian gave it such presence, one where we wanted to hang out...and we did just that the other day when I took my parents to see the showhouse. We all loved Brian&#39;s, room, and there were great details everywhere: old school know-how in the curtain construction, a charming tape for the lampshade that Brian found and more. Brian was there, as charming as his room. We left being energized and delighted with the room and so it was a real pleasure to see this background to it. Just like in theater where there are no small parts, in design, there is no such thing as a &quot;small&quot; room. Your post( as always) was a treat.

It was cold and rainy and the room was dark...well it was not yet a room.<br />I loved the design proposal and expected great things.<br />But I was so amazed when I saw the finished room. It had color, it had dimension, it has the secret cookbook corner, it suddenly had a desk.<br />Brian turned a nothing space into a room with grandeur and presence. I have every admiration.<br />Cheers to you all...I loved hearing from you.<br />Please stay in touch.<br />DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-25260237976377297752011-05-09T18:41:09.735-07:002011-05-09T18:41:09.735-07:00Lovely! I&#39;d love to sit there and read cookbooks all day. It&#39;s so nice that you&#39;ve shown how even small spaces require much thought and care in the design. Wish I could go but this is the next best thing!

I am sure everyone appreciates to hear how it all came together and how such dedication to details can pay off in the smallest of spaces.<br /><br />Brian did an amazing job turning this room, which almost did not make you stop before, into a retreat crowded with guests during the opening party. <br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />ClaudiaClaudia Juestelhttp://www.adeenidesigngroup.com/blog/[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-87713102939597774352011-05-06T10:03:18.257-07:002011-05-06T10:03:18.257-07:00Just a delicious make over+interview. great post. xxpeggybraswelldesign.compeggy braswellhttp://peggybraswelldesign.com[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-21520810230634348022011-05-05T19:35:58.535-07:002011-05-05T19:35:58.535-07:00Great post- amazing transformation<br />Thanks<br />X<br />VVierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624469678130278263[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-69295181772111250822011-05-05T13:20:31.168-07:002011-05-05T13:20:31.168-07:00Bravo, Brian!Savannah Amersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05659427854799937105[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-34376612472103661322011-05-05T11:53:37.385-07:002011-05-05T11:53:37.385-07:00Hello:<br />Just the very mention of the word &#39;cook&#39; almost had us running for the hills as we try to avoid kitchens and all things culinary except for eating. <br /><br />However, what a delight to read further and to see this clever and witty transformation. A cookery nook.....with this intelligent design [and who could resist the &#39;Lettuce Queen&#39;] we should most certainly wish to linger longer!!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647[email protected]
