It's Just Monet

I did not grow up with much. I often had hand me downs and would find things, and make them work for other usage. Anything that I got my hands on I found purpose in; there was nothing that was too old or too damaged to be re-purposed. This practice allowed for understanding and passion for taking anything (carpet, wood scraps, cloths, etc.) and making it into something that could assist in a variety of ways. Creative minds carry the desire to create whereas I also enjoy and desire to transform. This is the perspective that I carry into every project I am commissioned to do be it furniture design or commercial and residential interiors.

My First Commercial Project: Bouchic Boutique & Lounge




I had the pleasure of designing a up and coming boutique by the name of Bouchic Boutique & Lounge located at 880 Glenwood Ave. SE, Suite B. Atlanta, GA 30316. The ladies requested a sophisticated and chic look for their space. The following is my process for obtaining my interpretation of what they were looking for...

Original Floor Plan…




Space Analysis...  




Some of my requirements for the custom work was to incorporate a work space, and two fitting rooms that could be transformed into a stage. This is my blank canvas...




Here I began to sketch out furniture placement for the floor plan, then preceded to develop custom pieces for the merchandise and the fitting room…


 
This is a sketch of the wall unit that would hold the merchandise.
The design of the Fitting room was most difficult. The task was to create a enclosedspace that could transform into a completely open space to then be used as a stage. this is what I came up with.


I then put the sketches into my favorite 3D program "Google Sketup" for a more clear understanding of the intended idea...






 
Final design...


I made the drum pendants. Check out the post titled "Make your own Drum Pendant"...
