Soon we will have the unveiling of the great room we at Donald Mitchell Design did for Ed and Lynda Shubert.  They have been a joy to work with.  In fact they were really open to the changes and looked forward to each one.   Here are some of the photos of the room initially.  Later we will show all the after photos and their new room.  I will briefly comment on each photo and how I saw it all the good the bad and the ugly.  I really felt that the room had great structure and promise.  Here’s where we started. 
There were no window treatments to soften the room but it had 4 wonderful French Doors and transomes

Be looking on the blog for the make over photos by next week.  We have added new lighting, hung a huge chandelier to help lower the two story ceiling and make the room more intimate and we found a large new rug.  We also added wallpaper to help add more definition to the room with an accent wall.  Thanks to the contributions of our sponsors and the additions added by the Shuberts the room is looking better now.  Our room unveiling is tomorrow night, look in the Alpharetta paper for the photos of the event and we will post a more detailed review on the blog.  These changes you will soon see are things you can do to your rooms as well.  With a little design direction we can help you  update your room as well.  Simply give us a call today at 770 475 4629 for your design consultation.  We offer an honest critique of your space, no judgement and no attitude.  Just a little fun and creativity, full of possibilities.
