Dining Room:
HGTV's popular hit show Designer's Challenge invited Tere to design this dining room for a busy couple with four young
children. The room was featured in the fall of 2005 but has aired often since then. Tere combined textured and practical fabrics
with deep mahogany woods and botanical prints to create an elegant room that enhances the rest of the home.
Master Bedroom:
Shades of cream and a mix of materials like mirrored Venetian end tables, limestone fireplace surround and a mahogany custom
armoire complement the Murano Chandelier and crystal asymmetrical sconces.
Living Room:
The client's goal was to create an elegant minimalist contemporary apartment that would be a gentle background for the
couple’s contemporary art. The detail of the recessed panels was used to conceal storage at one end and add interest
to the living room wall. Leather bound sisal-like wool carpeting is the setting for grey textured sofas and aubergine leather
chairs.
Master Bath:
The original master bath was renovated with clean lines. Doors were removed that now open onto the breakfast coffee bar area
of the sitting room. The maize color terrazzo floor complements the sea glass colored glass tile that surrounds the whirlpool
bath. A distinctive top down, bottom up shade in a textured outdoor fabric was used to allow for maximum light.

Rich golden and caramel textured fabrics on the upholstery complement the
mahogany custom dining table and sideboard with Deco influence. Rock crystal and iron chandelier hanging from a coffered ceiling
offers layers of lighting with well positioned down lights and rock crystal sconces flanking art from the Clients collection.
Kitchen (right):
Light maple cabinetry with ebony counterparts that appear to float off the floor provide dramatic impact for a gallery kitchen
in a sophisticated city apartment. Stainless steel Italian hood mirrors the finish of the curved mini track lighting. Undercabinet
lights and concealed power track put the inner workings out of sight.
