Getting down to business





I was in Atlanta for spring break and popped in to take some pics of an executive office I did. She sells commercial real estate investments, and her partner does shopping centers and property managment. I painted the walls "Grass Green" - the intensity of this color cannot be truly appreciated from a computer screen. It truly envelopes you as you enter this gorgeous office. The lovely chenille scroll bergere's are from Hickory Chair and the custom silk taffeta chairs on casters are from Marge Carson. The four can be pulled together for serious contract negotiations or they can be done from the Chiniosere inspired conference room. I took a closeup of the 100+ year old tea table imported from China that we used for the conference table. The art we used in her office depicts 3 respected warriors throughout the centuries. Genghis Kahn who unified the over 200 Mongol tribes and became the largest empire in world history, and Zhu Yuanzhang better known as The Hongwu Emperor Tai Zu - the founder of the Ming Dynasty and the man who was able to repair and complete the "Great wall of China". The last is The Charging Chasseur, by Théodore Géricault exhibited at the Paris Salon of 1812. His french romanticism depicts an Officer of the Imperial Guard, Napoleon's cavalry officer on a horse, ready to attack.


I had intended more pics of the art but blogger.com is having problems today and won't allow me to post anymore pics. Stay tuned...

    What a beautiful job!
    These old ugly offices are really hard to work with. You had a challenge...
    Great work!
