PRIME EXAMPLE:
Spotlighted with this feature is a recent example of how Marcia Moore Design professionals recreated a gathering area via a 'getting in the swing of family fun' approach, as inspired by the clients' passion for golf.
When the lower level of a home in Frontenac was heavily flooded, the homeowners turned to Marcia's team for a complete remodel. Prior, the space was filled with a traditional bar and pool table, surrounded by dark, heavy wood paneling. Marcia says they produced a fresh, light-hearted family-friendly space appealing to all ages.
"We created distinctive areas for different uses, such as workouts, a juice and wine bar, a fireplace with TV viewing and a game room," she explains.
The flooring is also distinct by area. The workout space is 36x36-inch luxury vinyl tiles that look like concrete. The juice bar sits atop woven flooring made from renewable vegetable compounds rather than petroleum products. The rest of the floor is luxury vinyl planks with a wood grain. "This defines each area and keeps the flooring from feeling cavernous," says Marcia. "All of these floors are perfect for lower levels. They hold up to water, work well on a concrete slab and are warmer than tile, without adding a heated floor."
To the workout space were added two photographs by Petros Koublis, a New York City photographer whose work has a wonderful, dreamlike, ethereal feeling to it, Marcia shares.
Fun original art by Sue Graef, an artist from Clearwater, Florida, and accessories keep the bar jovial and colorful. Marcia says the refrigeration unit has upper wine storage and lower refrigerator drawers. A microwave and ice machine complete the appliances. The cabinets are sleek and shiny, styled with fingertip pullouts so there's no need for hardware, she adds.
The fireplace/television seating area is also viewable from workout machines behind a sofa.
The game room is set for pool, board games, eating and lounging, with a spot to add a shuffleboard table.
All the art prints in the game room are from paintings of famous golf courses, done by a variety of artists.
