In 1994, interior designer Andrea Houck gets client a communication consultant to renovate the one-bedroom condo in Arlington, Virginia. His client asked for the floor, plavon, lamps and other furniture was changed to the new. The kitchen is the first area, renovated by removing the dividing wall, so the room looks larger because the kitchen, living room and dining room into one room. Earth tones and clean-lined, transitional furnishings impart a warm vibe in the condo’s living room and dining room. The backsplash in the renovated kitchen combines vertically placed marble and granite tiles.

Another area that was renovated bathroom because his condition was very bad. The guest bath, in close proximity to the kitchen, picks up the same earth tones. The sink console is made from a piece of furniture, with a distinctive, round glass sink painted black with a crackle texture. The room has a geometric motif, with square-patterned wallpaper, three square-shaped decorative shelving units set into the wall and a square-tiled wall behind the sink; small, square sparkling glass tiles line the insides of the shelves and trim the sink area. The master bathroom floor was replaced with  focal point is a bank of iridescent tiles on the bathtub walls; green-hued slate floors (hand-picked like those in the kitchen) complement the tiles while a granite-topped console with zebrawood doors houses the sink.

The master bedroom was the least altered by the renovation: Houck retained the original furniture, had the artwork reframed and purchased striated silk bedding; window cornices match the headboard. The bedroom artwork features a tropical motif, reflective of the homeowner’s interest in diving and frequent visits to the Caribbean islands of Turks and Caicos. These bright hues repeat themselves in the library, which houses colorful artwork, a vivid, flowered rug and brightly hued sofa pillows and upholstery. “I never could have done this on my own,” she says. “The process was just wonderful.” via
