showcase home porch:afters
July 6, 2010
The 2010 ASID Showcase Home Tour has come and gone. What a great 4 weeks it was! Thank you to all who came to support ASID, the four beneficiaries, and great interior design!
If you didn’t get a chance to go take a peek inside, here are some of our after shots from the front porch at the Isles home…

Porch highlights:
- We sanded down the floor, which was covered in paint, and found Douglas Fir flooring that was original to the home, built in 1908.
- To add color and texture, we applied a navy vinyl floor covering to the ceiling.
- Since the homeowner is a world traveller, we incorporated many of his own pieces into the design.
- We specified furniture from Grange’s new outdoor line from KDR Showrooms.
- All of the fabrics in the space are indoor/outdoor from KDR Showrooms.
- Palm leaf ceiling fans were installed to circulate fresh air.
- Antique furniture pieces and accessories were found at Spinario Design in Northeast Minneapolis.
- A new Waverton Cambria top was fitted to an existing antique Weiman table in the seating area.
What are some of your favorite design features? We’d love to know!
cheers, amber
