The stone columns and stone on the wall upon which the flat screen TV hangs are made of real quartz stone tile, which also is incorporated into the wine cellar to add a bit of sparkle. The hardwood floors throughout the lower level are maple with a grey stain finish and the ceiling beams in the living area are made of mahogany. Bringing the bar area to life are the counter tops, made of white Caesarstone, which wonderfully complement the clean design style. Upon entering the art studio just down the hall and past Paul’s office (while passing a flushed bookcase in the hallway), a custom arched top mahogany double door was placed. This piece of art in and of itself matches the mahogany beams in the adjacent living area. Once you walk through those doors, this is where a slice of Heaven on Earth lies in Julie’s eyes. While the main walls in the lower level have that cozy, greyish tone, the studio walls are white, catering to Julie’s preference for a clean, simple look. The entire ambiance of the studio enjoys harmonious companionship with Julie’s own artistic style: contemporary, transitional and leaning towards the abstract. It’s less about the details and more about the mood. PLEASE TURN THE PAGE
