Where do I begin.. Ok let’s start with who is Seasonal Living? And what is this Design Challenge. ( Yep I jumped right in.)

A leader in multifunctional furnishings and accessories with a prime focus on wellness. Seasonal Living “Invites client’s to connect with the outdoors and live in rhythm with the four seasons.” Seasonal Living’s prime focus is supporting the “in-the-trade” design community with renewable, recyclable and easy to care for materials whenever possible. And as a bonus their stuff is AMAZING!

Bottom Line. SL is a “go to” for us designers looking for distinction and luxury in both indoor and outdoor furnishings for our clients. The best part about Seasonal Living is how they support designers by showcasing their work in both virtual designers show houses and the Seasonal Living magazine. Check out their products here.

Now for the 2021 Designers Challenge:

“Seasonal Living and eDesignTribe (a leading platform for interior designers rendering both 2 and 3D design (and of which I am a featured member) are once again teaming up to create more exciting ways that the Architecture & Design (A&D) community can engage to showcase their creative skills and for Seasonal Living to support and promote designer excellence to the A&D Industry.”

When I heard about this I couldn’t wait to get started.

Now for the deliverables in this year’s challenge. (Let me know at the end of this blog if I met the challenge and presented the deliverables as require.)

  • Create and emphasize a seamless flow of both indoor and outdoor products

  • A feeling of wellness

  • Furnishings to be used both indoor and outdoor with a living style of transitional and modern.

  • One room two seasons.

  • Modern to Modern Farmhouse Home - Higher End Home

  • Each space to reflect a season ( I chose Fall and Spring. )

    Drum Roll Please…

For this project I chose a higher end modern luxury home in a country setting. I chose both fall and spring.

When considering this project and when I decided to design this room I wanted to create a space with intention.

My takeaways while approaching this space centered around an intentional reflection of calmness, comfort, sustainability, solitude and the comforts of home. Grand and welcoming.

Spring reflecting renewal of new life, fresh air and vibrant colors.

Fall, is there any better season than fall? Crisp hoodie weather, peaceful bursts of color followed up with cozy fireplace evening’s, a glass of red wine and yes Football…..

Most products in this project are curated from Seasonal Living’s Provenance Signature Collection.

So let’s start with fall, oh of course.

Take a walk through this space and feel the wellness and warmth a fall day brings with fires lite and cocktails waiting on the patio as you watch leaves fall from the trees and smell winter coming.

Remittances of greenery as the colors change, yet still welcoming the season and all its beauty.

The slideshow below is a representation of the fall season bringing the outside in and enjoying the change of season offering an open space for outdoor entertaining and gathering.

 

All The Comforts Of Home

Now let’s take a walk inside before spring arrives. Staying true to the deliverables, this space offers a modern high end luxury feeling with a touch of farmhouse. I know there’s a cocktail party just waiting to happen.

The front door screams “your invited, come in side.”

 

The slideshow on the interior of this project include Seasonal Living outdoor floor lamps, side table, pillows, planters,and ottomans. So cool that outdoor furnishings can transition from the outside to the inside seamlessly and with so much sophistication. Open up those sliding doors and it’s one big party!

 

Spring has arrived!

Come on out, it’s been a long winter and the patio is ready for entertaining.

Nothing better than living in a four season climate and opening those doors to the smell of spring. A time to enjoy three seasons of pure bliss, family entertaining and that first barbecue. Don’t forget that first vase of tulips.

The slideshow below is welcoming the inside back out. Time for fresh gardening, cut flowers and rejuvenation after a long winter. A feeling of wellness sitting by a fire smelling the new spring season.

 

One Space Two Seasons

And this all started with a vision.

Well that and an awesome rendering program that takes a designer’s vision and makes it reality for our clients.
