An Updated Look for Giselle

It is always a fun occasion when we have the opportunity to design a special piece for one of our own. Giselle Armantrout, one of our fabulous designers who works in our Magazine Street showroom, wanted to update the lighting in her breakfast room, so we decided to make something special just for her.

Our beautiful Giselle in the New Orleans showroom, and the chandelier she inspired, now added to our line and appropriately named Giselle.

Giselle had recently updated the color tones in her house, transitioning from warm golden shades to a fresher, cleaner, creamier look.

 Here is her room with the original chandelier and warm paint colors.

Giselle has always loved the plaster pieces in our line, and her favorite one was the Plastered Chandelier, which she had used when designing a breakfast room for her friend Kirsten. Since that one was in her good friend's house, we decided to design a piece with a similar feel.

Using this chandelier as our inspiration, we came up with a design that would look great over Giselle's table.

Here is the new Giselle chandelier.

In lightening the look, Giselle painted the walls Benjamin Moore's Papaya in 50% strength. New tailored  cream colored sofas replaced golden-colored slipcovered ones. She also hung new curtains in a light tan fabric.

Although we usually finish our plaster chandeliers in white, they can be painted in any color. In this case, we decided to add just a touch of the wall color to the white paint we normally use, just enough to make the chandelier blend seamlessly with the room.

We surprised her, and had it hung just in time for Mother's Day,  and she was thrilled!
