Tea Anyone? How about Remedy Tea Bar :)

Remedy Tea bar on the 1600 block of Sansom was a project I did with Toni Leslie of Triple Layer Cake (Marketing and branding...and now Interior Decorating:)


I was involved in finding the right space for the clients, drawing up designs for what the space could...and would be, project management and custom fabrication and installation of many elements of the store. Toni Leslie was a pleasure to work with and provided color choices as well as a great juxtaposition of styles to blend well with my very modern styles.


Remedy is a booming success and plans are on the boards for an LA location to open soon...look for posts soon on the designs and outcome of that project in late 2009-early 2010. Here are a couple shots of the finished product, sorry for not havig eary shots...

LOFT404 Finally enjoying the space:)






















The following photos are of LOFT404 after completion. I also built all the furniture, made the lights, watered the plants, decorated, designed and built the sound system and speakers, mixed the music and mixed the cocktails:)




























































































































































































LOFT404 during construction part 1

Since it's hard to place text exactly next to the image...I'll explain:) These are photos of Loft404 at midphase of construction, you can see the framing coing together of the kitchen, bath and laundry room platform which was done to have enough height to have an island kitchen sink drain back to plumbing stack in corner. Then plumbing was all run, electrical, then subflooring, then framing of the double walls...I love pockets doors, they take up so much less footprint in tight spaces where a swinging door would just be annoying. You can also see the concrete molds for the concrete and galvanized steel bathroom...and concrete counters as I was pouring them. Concrete is lots o fun and easy to customize a million ways, just need to follow steps for proper mixing, pouring, curing and treating/sealing.
