Home Remodeling

Home Remodeling

The kitchen is the heart of the home, where we gather and exchange the stories of the day, share chores and enjoy meals. As such, the space sustains serious foot traffic and manipulations. It also needs to be practical and easy to use.

We accompany you to combine design and function and have the resources to address all your needs: appliances and where to optimally place them in the room; kitchen cabinets needs to fit all your utensils and kitchenware; counter-top material for kitchen and bathroom. We can also provide a lighting design that will both enhance the room and improve your working space. More on Home Remodeling

In With The Old: Mastering Vintage Interior Design

What comes to mind when you hear vintage interior design? Do you have images of Art Deco or eclectic? Do you have flashbacks of summers spent at grandma’s country home or of romantic movies from the 50s? Let’s see what vintage interior design is all about and how to achieve this style.
There is a trend within the trend of vintage interior design, vintage modern; it is, as the name suggests clearly, modern style with a retro flair. The result is totally different than the style we try to master here. We are more thinking of what Marilyn Monroe or Betty White had in common: a sense of style.

An exploration into vintage interior design

Old is the new new. As strange as it sounds, it is actually true. Unlike other interior design projects that demand a complete or partial room remodeling to match space to the new design - as is the case with neoclassical design - this style is all about decorum. Vintage interior design is synonymous with retro and mid 20th century.

You definitely want to have antiques and collectibles, but you can also add distressed wood pieces, second-hand store finds and yard sale discoveries. The best part is, you do not need to have all your furniture from the same era. The essence of vintage interior design is: mix it up.

The way it makes you feel

111What you need to do is create a feel of charming and romantic comfort. You want this sense of tranquility when you enter the room, a touch of whimsy and the impression you just discovered a secret door to treasures of yore.
You want to create a happy place with a splash of nostalgia to it.

Decoration Tips

What was modern in the 60’s and 70’s is one of your vintage piece of furniture or decor today.

You also want to find something that defines and means 40’s: glamour reminiscent of the grace and elegance that emerged after WWII. During this era, to counterbalance the restrictions and austerity of the war, everything that was fun and joyful was sought after.

When it comes to the color scheme however, stay with a softer color palette with light yellows, subtle hunter’s green, pale pinks, creams and whites with a few splashes of colors or pattern (drapery, throws and pillows). Lace curtains will add a romantic touch and glass chandeliers will reflect the light and add glamour as well as sparkle.

What you are looking to accomplish with the vintage interior design is to revamp your space with well loved, well chosen, well placed pieces of furniture and decor. To me, vintage means classic, classy, with a twist. What does it mean to you?

You deserve the Collom Construction quality.

What a Fancy Idea! A Review of the 5 Most Unusual Homes

What a Fancy Idea! A Review of the 5 Most Unusual Homes

Driving around the country, through cities or in remote places, we are bound to come across some unusual homes, an old structure that became or can become a residence, against all odds (mills, lighthouse, churches, barns, firehouses). Some are abandoned and in disarray, others are being bought d and turned into houses or condos. The trend is to repurpose the space to live in it, maybe as a way to disconnect from the diktats and reconnect with the past.
