Outstanding Jim. TRD would love to compliment the farm feel with a Green touch around the property.

Truly beautiful work, Mr. Crisp. I would have never guessed that you could take such a worn out and drab space and make it into what you did. The garage transformation is a little disappointing though… : )

I was very inspired by this same choice of bold green and a white trim in my bedroom 3 years ago, with very positive feedback from family and friends. To see it done in your kitchen design is exciting for me. I’m in the early design phase of fixing up a beautiful old colonial Queenslander house (here in Brisbane, Australia), with wrap around balconies and panoramic city views. Your images have reassured me I want to expand this fresh dramatic look into other living spaces.

Comment on 5 Islands (Not in the Pacific) by James Crisp

Thanks. We often hide the plugs just below the countertop in a built-in plug strip. On the other hand, our photographer may have photoshopped them out.

Nicely done, as always. Electrical outlets are not visibile on any of the pictured islands. Care to comment?

Thanks for posting all these great pictures! The folly looks terrific in real life too – you are going to want to see it in the Garden! Please join us at the opening on April 28 and go on a tour with the all the architects and designers. You might just find the right spot for the folly in your own backyard….

@ Amy:
We happen to have a (simply-styled) larger chandelier hung lowly over our coffee table/seating area to give a more intimate feel. Just a thought…
Thanks Jim for letting me take over your website

Comment on Three Green Rooms by Gabi Villegas

Fascinating how this same tone green can have such a different message in each room. All are equally present in character: the first giving hints of freshness in cuisine, the next maintaining colonial regality, and the last reflecting the colors of the outdoors. Every single room is just downright pleasant….
Loving the wood tones in the built-ins in the last pic. Always a joy to see what’s new at Crisp Architects; Absolute solid style at every turn!

Thanks. Some of that was existing, but I’ll take the credit.

I love the transom window over the pantry door! What a great idea to bring light into the pantry closet. I also love the floor boards.

It is all about the porportions. You need to draw the garage and draw different cupolas. You will know when it is right.
