Basement turned Sports Lounge Renovation

Well, I'm very proud to unveil this project! This was my very first large scale renovation. I'm super excited and happy about it! I'll be honest it wasn't the easiest task at first bc I was so new to interior design and in the process of the makeover I decided to expand my craft and started taking classes at the Art Institute, so I had a lot on my plate.

I presented this idea to some good friends of mine, Clint Saulsberry, who happens to be a Celebrity Jeweler and his wife ,Cori Saulsberry, who is a renowned Hair Stylist in Chicago's Loop Area, back in October and they were on board with the idea and gave me this wonderfully large space to work with. Their main objective was to obtain a space that would allow them to entertain during parties that they have regularly.

 During the renovation period I kept trying to grow my trade and they were very, very patient about it. I can admit that it was a roller coaster just because I wanted it to be awesome not only for them but for myself as well. I was learning as I was doing their project and also picking up other projects along the way, but I wanted this to be what I grew my business on and what people visualized when they thought of LuxeFactor Decor,so needless to say the pressure was on for me.They expressed that they wanted a lounge type environment that would not only be visually appealing but comfortable as well. They have children also, so the objective was to get a space for entertaining family as well as friends. Cori was into the bolder coloring of a room (hence the peacock blue accents in the room) and Clint didn't care any way or the other as long as his Sports Jersey's and  TV were intact (a "man cave" setting). So combining both of their requests into the space was the goal.I gave it a modern and contemporary look with a lot of mirrored accents and in the end it all worked out, looking Fabulous (if I do say so myself)... I thank them both for the experience and for the love they showed me during the project and to being the "Poster Child" for the beginning of my business. I'm excited for the future, whatever it may hold!! I think the work speaks for itself and I'm exuberantly saying "FIN"........
