Changes to the master suite included removing a massive wall unit in the sitting area in order to create a more inviting space. On the wall opposite the fireplace, Michaels installed custom artwork by Carla Goldberg that pulls in colors from the room. “Carla does these incredible Lucite pieces with colored glass beads,” notes Michaels. A subtle geometric/cubist pattern on the chairs and ottoman is echoed in the vintage glass sconces that flank the fireplace. “Laura did an amazing job with our sitting room off the master,” says the wife. “I love everything about the space.” This project had a storybook ending for homeowner and designer alike. “This experience shows that designers shouldn’t turn down a little job, because you never know where it might go,” says Michaels. “And I got to meet another great client along the way.” ✹
