Pasadena Showcase House of Design 2015

Welcome to the Pasadena Showcase House for 2015. Built in California, the house is an eclectic English Tudor combined with Craftsman elements.

The main residence is over 9,400 square feet and a 2,600 square foot Carriage House with an upstairs apartment that complements it.  The property includes many mature trees, a pool, a koi pond, and a wisteria arbor.  The gifted designers and hundreds of  craftsmen had 90 days to bring this project to fruition and that they did!

I brought you the Atlanta Decorators’ Show House earlier, as you may have reviewed.  The Southern Showcase used a lot of neutrals with bright accent colors, whereas this western showcase was a little more into gray tones, art and pictures everywhere, natural stone, ceramic look-alike flooring, and many one-of-a-kind pieces of furniture.  Let’s jump in and take a look at what the designers in the West are doing.

The kitchen cabinets had two different cabinet surfaces. The wall cabinets had a dark gray slate and the bar was covered with a white marble. The floor had a gray tone barn wood ceramic flooring which is becoming popular today with U. S. homes. The designer repeated the table top in a real wood that mimic the same look as the floor.

The store brought chest with marble on each side and on top was a show stopper. You had to see this in person to appreciate the great look! I give it a WINKWINK!  Design by Surfaces USA

Take a look at the faux wood grain ceramic flooring (shown here in Carriage House Kitchen). The same flooring was used in the kitchen in the big house.  I have to say it was beautiful.  Do check it out!  Decorated by G. H. Wood Design.

The young girl’s suite encompasses a “New Traditional” design concept that was soft, lulling color palette of amethyst, lilac and gentle gray, punctuated with gold guided accents.   Decorated by AFK Fine Furniture, Beverly Hills, California

This was the best display of photos I have ever seen. I had to study the look to figure why it was so good-looking.  Design by Cecile Rubayi Interior Design

They used only two frame finishes, a gold with a black band on the edge and an all black.  The style was the same on both frames. The gold frame was matted with a tan and  the black in a very light tan mat.   I give it a WINK, WINK!

If you did not see my post for Atlanta, Georgia’s Decorators’ Show House and Gardens 2015 please take a look.  Atlanta showcase would be considered the best of the South, whereas the Pasadena California Show House 2015 would be the best of the West.  The Kips Bay Boys Club 2015 would be considered the best of the East in New York.  I will be blogging on that soon.  The best of the North…….not sure about that one!  I think it would be Chicago!  Sounds like another trip.

I tried to give you a look at what I felt were the highlights for both Showcases.  I hope you can find some WINKS here that can work for you.  If you have a question, comment or a subject you would like me to discuss, go over to the contact page and leave a message.  Have a terrific week!
