no project too small for HINGE

garage before lillibridge east corner

1. I had Got Junk come and take loads of crap away. 2. Then my friend, Irene generously helped me paint the wainscotting with the same color as our house. 3. I put the remaining goods back in with some careful editing. 4. And now it pleases me so much that I don’t want to put the cars in the garage. I walk out in the morning and admire the tidiness while I drink my coffee. 5. Now I need to contact Anna Thelemarck and Missa Aloisi at HINGE in Burlington, Vermont and figure out the rest of the project.

I know Anna and Missa at Hinge will have great ideas about how to tackle the rest of my garage with innovative possibilities. If you have a design problem in your home and are not sure where to turn, look no further. Here’s your answer right here in highly creative Burlington, Vermont.

art with function…

I carved and painted this salvage door to use in new construction in an apartment renovation for my Mom. I really like the idea of art with function and having a closet door be a work of art that is utilized every day is certainly that. I found the handle in a box of wood that someone was throwing out. The shape and smoothness make a great handle. I used vintage hardware to secure and because it’s a closet this handle can be opened easily…good for wet nails or hands with lotion on them.

The door is in a dressing area and makes the whole space feel so inviting and festive. I am hoping to do more of these doors for clients it’s an easy way to have huge impact in a space. I think this type of art would be particularly effective in space that you want to have a rather clean aesthetic. I don’t only do birds—the possibilities are endless.
