PRINCIPAL DESIGNER: KIMBERLY C. LYONS

PROJECT GOAL: DESIGN A CUSTOM-BUILT HOUSE WITH ECO-FRIENDLY FEATURES

PROJECT OUTCOME: THE DESIGN PROJECT IS STILL IN DEVELOPMENT

Good morning!

Today, I am incredibly excited! I recently did a walk-through with a client to see if specific details, such as cabinetry, flooring, and lighting, are coming together in her custom-built house. OMG, I am head over heels in love with how everything flows together, even down to the intricate details. Each room has its own authentic identity. I understand that each element must play a significant role in ensuring the house flows cohesively. However, I do a quick brainstorming session before arriving at a client's home or on-site. As a designer, I sometimes need a minute to gather my thoughts. Okay, maybe more than a minute.

The furniture, area rugs, decorative objects, artwork, and other items have arrived. The pieces I will work with for this project are unique and unlike any others. So, I could not capture as many photos as I would have liked because most of the objects that would turn this custom-built house into a beautiful home were in the way. However, I have given a pretty good glimpse of what is going on regarding the glamorous crystal light fixtures, the two-toned Travertine flooring, and the dominant dark wooden cabinetry. The goal is to maintain the same flow, including the walls, light fixtures, and flooring. Moreover, the layouts of each bathroom are different.

Designing the exterior has been a journey; now it is time for the interior. It is almost complete; it's not there yet, but it is close.

Trust me, the photos below do no justice to how each chandelier looks in person. They are exceptionally gorgeous, stylish, and statement-making!

The owner's bathroom suite is amazingly gorgeous. The floor and walls are marble, the same for all five bathrooms. I cannot wait to see how it looks with the paint.

The kitchen has specific details, such as glamorous pendant lighting, stylish custom cabinetry, floor-to-ceiling, and textured travertine flooring.

The stairs (stairway) are incomplete, but the wood will have a dark brown finish—the same as the kitchen cabinetry.

These beautifully wrought iron balustrades extend from one end to the other to meet the double-sided floor-to-ceiling fireplace wall. The wood will be dark brown, like the kitchen cabinetry.

The fireplace's cut-outs will have glass shelving with lights that change color automatically. The shelves will also feature various oversized decor as colorful accents.

Stay tuned for another reveal of The Reserve at Lake Keowee.
