We Love Conversions

Properties originally intended for one purpose and reconstructed to serve another are the ultimate design challenge.  It stretches us and often provides exciting structures and materials like this church to condo conversion that we provided most of the furnishing for.

You can see the amazing ceiling work that provides drama and background texture and complexity to the project.

While the period structure, woodwork, and plaster transport our minds to another time, the project also offers nooks to create more traditional rooms that receive the extra architectural benefit of unusual ceiling heights or angles and original flooring materials.  One example is this living room that we designed and outfitted with pieces all available on our showroom floor now:

And, every church has a kitchen, and we were pleased to be selected by the room’s designer to add some of the finishing touches:

So, from our point of view, the bigger the challenge the larger the reward.

See Our Pieces at 39th Annual Decorators’ Showhouse

Luxury Nest is proud to be part of the most important design event in Atlanta this season.  The St. Regis Atlanta Hotel & Residences, which debuted in Buckhead this spring, was marked from the start by legendary style and elegance that made it an ideal setting for many of the city’s top designers to unleash their talents as part of the 39th annual Decorators’ Show House & Gardens. The resulting 29 spaces—spanning three distinctly different high-rise units—demonstrate that luxury has never been more evident—or more important—than it is today. Atlantans are not scaling back or scaling down, but rather, making the skies the limits for great design. Even traditional spaces pushed these boundaries, adopting an eclectic mix and a fresh outlook.
