I apologize for being gone so long. We’re working on house plans for  a client.  It started with me drawing up sketches for space planning and sending them to the architect. We should be getting the final revision for the floor plan this week and begin the process of deciding the elevations. Our client wants a Spanish feel to this house, but she is far from traditional thinking on anything. Here is a little sample of the beginning of how things might lay out. Some of this will stay similar, some has already flipped around.

A starting place.

 

I traveled to Houston to Urban Market last week end, then on to Austin, and about an hour west of Austin to shop with our client. We found several things at Urban Market….some great light fixtures, columns for the pool area, a sink for the cabana, and even some cool old leather chairs for dining area. Our stop west of Austin was to check out old doors for exterior and interior at a friend’s shop, Pieces of the Past. Below are some pics of ones we thought might work in this house.

 

white doors with bars

There is a pair of these. They have shutters behind the bars that can be opened. We are thinking of these for the front gate into the front courtyard. When open her dogs can peek through the bars! :)

 

wood doors with lattice

Not sure where these might be used. Just loved the lattice work. Thought they could be used as art almost.

 

solid wood door 2

This pair would, also, be used as a gate coming from the side yard into the pool area.

 

4 arched shutters

These old wooded arched shutters from a church are really great pieces. Would probably be used for impact somewhere rather than function.

 

divided lite wood doors

These are beautiful divided light doors that we thought of using as possible entrance doors to the master bedroom.

What do you think? Would love to hear how you would use these. Right now we haven’t made up our mind which ones are a sure thing. Although, the white pair with bars are probably a done deal.

Hope you have fun “PLANS” for the week ahead.
