Before and After Traditional Home "Terry" House - Artist Retreat by Leslie Moore


Today's transformation comes from the very Leslie Moore of L. Moore Designs.  Leslie designed the upstairs bedroom.  She turned the room into an artist's retreat with sunny yellow grasscloth paper and beautiful works of art hung gallery style around the room.  Note the accent chair’s painterly fabric and the daybed’s king-size headboard with intricate, nailhead detailing. Instead of libations, a bar cart displays perfectly corralled paintbrushes, colored pencils, and knickknacks. On the walls, pieces of original artwork—all by Southern female artists—steal the spotlight. Currey & Company’s cream-beaded chandelier captivates overhead.

Day 2 of the Traditional Home and High Point Junior League Showhouse "before" and "afters"  brings us the stunning bar transformation by the talented Christine Barbour co-owner and lead designer of Barbour Spangler of High Point, NC.  Christi worked with the existing cabinetry and painted them a glossy black, changed out the hardware for glass knobs and a added a custom designed mirrored backsplash over a new bar sink and finished the room with a beautiful black and white marble basket weave tile.  Touches of gold accents in just the right places make the space sparkle. The focal point of the bar is the gold starburst mirror positioned on the back wall. The light WilsonArt quartz countertops keep the room from feeling too dark.  This bar is all about glitz and glamour
but done in a sophisticated manner.

Before and After Traditional Home "Terry" Showhouse Powder Room by Margaret Fisher

I am so excited about this month's issue of Traditional Home Magazine.  If you haven't picked up the October issue, do so before they disappear.
Traditional Home magazine never disappoints, but this month's issue is extra special to me,as it features the Randall B Terry High Point showhouse kitchen, breakfast room and mudroom I designed and includes the designs of many of my friends who also designed rooms in the showhouse.  Every designer did such an incredible job!   

Today kicks off a series of posts featuring rooms in the 
 Traditional Home and Junior League of High Point "Randall B Terry" Showhouse.  When we look at the photographs in the magazine we see beautiful rooms, but when we have the privilege of seeing the before pictures, the transformation is even more impressive.  I thought it would be fun to share the "before" photos along with the "after" photos to truly appreciate the amazing vision these talented designers had for their rooms.  Follow along and let me know what you think!

First up is the beautiful powder room designed by Margaret Fisher   Margaret Fisher Interiors is a full-service interior design firm located right here in my hometown of Charlotte.   In the powder room transformation, whimsical wallpaper by Christian Lacroix for Designer's Guild called "Butterfly Parade"  was used by Margaret.  The silver metallic wallpaper and magenta Pratt & Lambert paint provides a showstopping response from this small space.  Margaret added the perfect compliments to her room with the Aerin Lauder "Jacqueline" Chandelier from Circa Lighting and beautiful marble flooring.  The original merlot colored toilet and sink were replaced by an updated sculptural Kohler white toilet and pedestal sink.
