Commercial Design: Physical Therapy Office

This week has been full of design with some of our commercial projects!

This is a physical therapy office that is under construction and we have great plans for the final look:

Concepts and Products:

Our goal is to combine textures, materials and colors to make a cohesive plan that will be both functional AND stunning.

Site Visit:

After visiting the site a couple of times this week, we went to the drawing board (literally) and began drafting out exactly what we had in our minds for the reception area.

Drawings:

These are some of our preliminary drawings for the reception desk and focal wall behind the desk:

By using 3Form products, we plan for this to be a very impressive entry!

Be sure to stay tuned to follow the progress!

New Face (Space) for Local Dermatologist!

Remember this project from a while back?

This dermatologist office is now beautified and open for patients!

Fun job for Connell Interiors to take a commercial space from this-

to this-

And this-

to this...

We literally started from no color palette and found inspiration in the

chair fabric... the rest unfolded from there.

From start...

to finish...

Incredible amount of details involved from selection of

cabinet veneers, counter top laminates, paint color, wood trim

granite slab, light fixtures, restroom tile, wood blinds, cove mold,

carpet, exam room details, wall finish... and not to mention-

furniture, lamps and artwork.

Several readers are patients at the "brother" space... literally...

that I completed over a year ago.

The Selkin brothers now run two offices here- Center of Dermatology of Plano

and now the Facial and Skin Surgery Center, and several

others in the Dallas Metroplex.

They say their patients don't want to leave the waiting room-

when does that ever happen?!

Until next time,

Client Project: A Design Plan in Action

PLAN

Today is the day- the first day of school. It is quite a difference having an eighth and tenth

grader heading back... not many butterflies since they know everything. period.

Our plan is double drop off and then I hit the ground running.

(*note: Son will be driving in less than 3 weeks- yes!)

First stop is to finalize paint colors at a great project I have been working on-

a new dermatologist office in Plano.

I completed the first office last summer and this one is shaping up

just as beautifully as the first...view here

Here's a peek at our design in progress:

Take a look at the sequence here. Good design starts with a good plan-

The inspiration for this project was the cream fabric with the sunburst pattern-

which was a great jumping off point for color

Furniture is ordered and artwork is next

One of my points in showing you this is that if you are a visual person,

then you might need this planning approach as well.

Seeing the mix all together may put you at ease until the project

is installed and you are pleased:)

So, stay tuned and see what this turns into!

A big thank you to David, the general contractor, for finally

turning on the air conditioner. Walking out drenched and having to reshower

after being at the work site was getting old!:)

Call me to start planning your new space...

Until next time,

Before and After: Allen Bowling Center

We all love Before and After shots~

Here are some good ones of my project

at Allen Bowling Center:

BEFORE:

The public space was over run by patrons who didn't care if

they damaged the game room or had no problem instigating fights

that warranted the police on a regular basis! The ceiling was tainted by

years of smoking and I can't even describe the smell!

AFTER:

A family focused atmosphere for birthday parties and group events.

Walls came down, the floor and ceiling were replaced, pool tables recovered,

the disco inset on the ceiling was removed, lighting changed,

and talk about a paint overhaul!

As I mentioned in an earlier blog post this year, our only

beginning inspiration was the existing carpet shown above.

Here's another angle-

BEFORE:

This entire wall was removed and now here is the view!

AFTER:

BEFORE:

Dark and Dreary

AFTER:

Fun and Festive

Thank you to my skilled contractor and uber talented muralist!

Swing into Allen Bowling center, buy a few rounds

and see the difference!

Until next time,

Allen Bowl: A Celebration of Change!

A busy start to 2011 for Connell Interiors...

and I'm so excited about this new project!

If you are local to the North Dallas area, you may have

ventured into Allen Bowl from time to time.

Great spot for bowling... not so great to bring the kids!

Until now-

We are transforming the "Dungeon" as they call it...

a smoky game room with a lot of band aids

into the perfect Party Space!

It's official and here's the skinny:

Woo hoo!

1. Walls are coming down...

2. Entire ceiling is being replaced

3. Brand new flooring

4. Fresh, repaired walls

5. Giant fun murals!

6. New seating areas

and...

7. Spruced up foyer to boot

Here's a glimpse of the Before (gasp)...

No inspiration in there... so here is where I'm finding it-

The current carpet in the main bowling area... perfect start for the revived space!

Here's the flooring we are going with:

...and paint colors to match.

We are waiting for the mural sketches and will almost be ready to go!

I'll keep you updated with our progress, but I'd love for you

to pay them a visit after the transformation!

Since we are still in the planning stages for a short bit,

let me know what you'd like to see in

the Party Room...

we may just have to fit it in!

Until next time,
