Maison de Luxe: Star of the Show

It seems that green designer Lori Dennis was having more fun that anyone at Maison de Luxe. As she entertained visitors to her space she was also filming for her upcoming HGTV show, The Real Designing Women. All eyes were on Lori and the incredible room she transformed for Maison de Luxe/

While another talent might have been put off by the task of outfitting such a small area, Lori embraced the challenge. In fact, she celebrated the diminutive footprint rather than fighting it. One wall was covered in a series of what appeared to be Moroccan mirrors. How incredible are they? Mirrors (specially when used in multiples) are stunning way to enlarge the space. Here Lori's choice in style added not just light and space to the room, it conjured up images of faraway lands.

Center stage in the room was our Star of India ottoman (swoon!) in the most fetching fabric choices imaginable. Look at those gilded sides and shimmering tassel trim. This piece, when done well as shown here, is a showstopper. Gorgeous. I love how the pattern and shape plays off the geometry of the rug design. Rather than stop there, Lori reflected the unique star shape with a metallic tray filled with shimmering rocks. Just look at that drama!

Also seen in the space was our 9654 table, a round accent table with Greek key stylized feet. The room's proportions made it very hard to take photos of the custom bed, but it is best described as being "like a womb, completely gold leafed on the outside, upholstered in royal blue velvet on the inside, with built in speakers." Talk about drama.

As if all of this wasn't enough, Lori had the most amazing mural painted on the ceiling. It just goes to show, square footage need not stand in the way of powerful design. Impact can be achieved in any amount of space when placed in talented hands like Lori's.
