Here at Sylvia T Designs, we really get into our work and, sometimes, covered in it (especially when it’s gold leaf)! We’re doing a beautiful gold leaf ceiling in an historic residence in the French Quarter of New Orleans. We’ve got another terrific gilding project coming right around the corner, too! Stay tuned for more on both projects… We’re your NOLA area gold leaf and gilding experts. Whether it’s accenting a space or a piece of furniture or it’s a beautiful full wall or ceiling job, it’s another we way we can make “your space a work of art!”

Here’s another special area from our recent luxury condo remodel just outside the French Quarter on Basin St. Our clients wanted something special and unique created in this total bathroom remodel. The showstopper is our hand-painted Chinoiserie mural. We also selected the tile in the shower/tub, the fixtures, the countertop, and lighting pendants as well as the floor and custom-built vanity (not pictured). Hey – we all spend a good amount of time in the bathroom – might as well be a cool space, too!

More from our New Orleans luxury condo remodel on Basin St.! Here’s a shot of the completely reenvisioned kitchen. We had the barstools custom made and upholstered with a custom fabric. We selected the new quartz countertop, the kitchen sink and fixtures, and the striking lighting pendants. The lights are hung from a reclaimed antique door that we restored and suspended from the high (16-foot) ceilings to give the kitchen area more intimacy. For similar reasons, we built and added an upper level of cabinets increasing their height. The cabinets were refinished and repainted in a trendy blue tone that compliments the plaster wall finish in the living room and on the bar façade. We also took the antique map and removed it’s original mounting. We gave it an antique and “floating” look by using antique brass upholstery pins. More soon!

Our work on this luxury condo remodel just outside the French Quarter on Basin St. is now complete! And, we’ve produced a special space! Here, you can see the living room with numerous components and appointments we delivered. There is the dynamic layered plaster finish that shows terrific movement and glistens in the light. We handled all the furniture considerations including the reupholstered couch with a selected custom fabric, a specially built coffee table designed to fit the clients’ two ottomans underneath, and the reconfigured and reupholstered banquette with custom fabric. We selected the lighting throughout the condo. Here, you can see one of two Bevolo lanterns on the wall, for example. We selected the frames and installed the unit’s artwork, as well! More from the rest of the space coming soon!

Yesterday, we had the great pleasure of spending our morning at a Vieux Carré Commission Foundation seminar on preservation featuring several New Orleans master craftsmen. One of them was master plasterer Jeff Poree. He has graciously spent time sharing his knowledge and experience with me as well as working on projects together. He is a fifth generation plasterer with knowledge and skill that has been passed down over those generations. He, like his antecedents, has worked on countless historical structures in the city. To this day, he carries on the tradition of working to restore and preserve our architectural heritage.

Here’s more form the luxury condo project we’re putting the finishing touches on just outside the French Quarter in New Orleans! This is the bedroom where we created a 2-color metallic plaster finish in the style of broken ombre. The finish really pops in the sunlight and makes the space warm and comfortable. Also, it compliments the beaded pendant lights – one of the few features held over in the unit from before the extensive remodel we delivered. More soon!

We’re putting the finishing touches on the major remodeling project we delivered in an 800-square foot luxury condo just outside of the French Quarter in New Orleans! Here, you can see one of the walls where we created a layered, distressed plaster finish that gives off an upbeat vibe. You can also see part of the factory finished kitchen cabinets we reworked, adding a second layer of upper-cabinets and creating a modern crown cap. We selected a great color tone for them that fits right in. Also, you can see a bit of where we refinished an old door and had it suspended from the 16-foot ceiling over the kitchen to make the area more intimate. From the door, you can see the hanging lighting pendants we selected and had installed at different heights to further the funky feel of the space! More to come on this cool project…

We love turning residential spaces into works of art! On this project, a luxury condo in downtown New Orleans just outside of the French Quarter, we transformed the entire space for the owners based on their vision and how they want to enjoy its use. Here, in the foyer, we delivered a reflective metallic finish on the walls and ceiling. We also added a hand-painted classic Damask stencil to the walls. The metallic plaster finish, especially on the ceiling, mimics the feel of the sky and gives this small area a sense of greater space! Much more on this project coming soon!
