Interior Decorating

Our designer, Barbara Mueller, a Savannah College of the Arts Masters Degree titlist, guided us through our selection process and assisted us through maintaining our simple Tuscan theme througout the home...
Wrought iron stairwell drove us over our budget, adding 1/5th to our total price of upgrades, but once again, it emphasized the rustic Tuscan theme we are striving for... one of our favorite upgrades
Here you can see our selections starting with the upper left cabinets (Maple Glazed), next to that is the tile that will be used in the upstairs bath, next to that is the tile to be used in the Master bath... botttom row is the tile that will be used throughout the house; next is the neutral color that the house will be painted, and finally, next to that is the carpet used in all the bedrooms and second floor..
Here you can hopefully see the detail of the tile we chose for the entire first floor. It captures the Tuscan, old-world look wonderfully, with intricate detailing... this was over 50% of our upgrade price!
Our cabinets. Maple glazed and beautiful... this piece set the tone for our selections throughout the house...
Here the backsplash for the kitchen is displayed above our granite countertop selection, the wood for the stairwell, and the countertop for the bathrooms...
Finally, the other 1/4th of our upgrades was this wonderfully exotic granite countertop.. we never knew how difficult it is to maintain granite and how high-maintenance it is, but it is well worth the price...
