			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My client purchased a beautiful condo&#8211;the finishes were gorgeous&#8211;the elevator opened to his entryway of  hand chiseled Travertine and moved on to Michelangelo floors, a view of the water and so much more.  What a treat to work in such a space.  My client wanted to play with a palette of neutrals&#8211;brown, beige, tan, black and so forth.  Masculine, clean and comfortable for entertaining or relaxing.<a rel="attachment wp-att-317" href="http://paritydesign.com/2010/02/17/modern-neutrals/entry1/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-317" title="entry1" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/entry1.jpg?w=420&#038;h=259" alt="" width="420" height="259" /></a></p>
<p>This was especially fun because with the exception of a few accessories, we started from scratch.  Here we have the entry with a clean lined cherry console, a nice thick rug and a mix of textures and neutrals set the stage for the rest of the home.</p>
<div id="attachment_318" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-318" href="http://paritydesign.com/2010/02/17/modern-neutrals/kitchen1/"><img class="size-full wp-image-318" title="kitchen1" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/kitchen1.jpg?w=420&#038;h=254" alt="" width="420" height="254" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dining Room</p></div>
<p>The entry opens to the kitchen and dining room where we continued our use of clean lines, neutrals and a mix of textures for interest.</p>
<div id="attachment_320" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-320" href="http://paritydesign.com/2010/02/17/modern-neutrals/living1/"><img class="size-full wp-image-320" title="living1" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/living1.jpg?w=420&#038;h=263" alt="" width="420" height="263" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dining Room &amp; Living Room</p></div>
<p>The kitchen, dining room and living room are connected and needed to flow together.  A Chilewich runner adds some modern texture.  Planters with jade plants bring some nature into the room.</p>
<div id="attachment_321" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-321" href="http://paritydesign.com/2010/02/17/modern-neutrals/living2/"><img class="size-full wp-image-321" title="living2" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/living2.jpg?w=420&#038;h=264" alt="" width="420" height="264" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Living Room</p></div>
<p>Travertine top tables and comfortable seating.</p>
<div id="attachment_322" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-322" href="http://paritydesign.com/2010/02/17/modern-neutrals/living3/"><img class="size-full wp-image-322" title="living3" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/living3.jpg?w=420&#038;h=267" alt="" width="420" height="267" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Living room</p></div>
<p>A pair of tall floor mirrors reflect the view.  My client found this wonderful art in a Seattle restaurant and bought it on the spot.</p>
<div id="attachment_323" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-323" href="http://paritydesign.com/2010/02/17/modern-neutrals/office1/"><img class="size-full wp-image-323" title="office1" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/office1.jpg?w=420&#038;h=270" alt="" width="420" height="270" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Office</p></div>
<p>The home office has a view (makes work so much nicer!)  A Stendig wall calendar lets you know the date at a glance.  We chose a classic rug in beautiful browns and other neutrals.  The chairs are comfortable and light enough to carry to the living room for extra seating.</p>
<div id="attachment_325" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-325" href="http://paritydesign.com/2010/02/17/modern-neutrals/theater1/"><img class="size-full wp-image-325" title="theater1" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/theater1.jpg?w=420&#038;h=261" alt="" width="420" height="261" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Home Theater</p></div>
<p>The home theater room is off the kitchen.  My client had a media wall installed with beverage coolers and a projection screen.  We added a deep, comfortable sofa and comfortable leather chairs with low backs that can be easily turned around if needed.  The reclaimed wood coffee table adds texture as do the shag rug and ash wall art.</p>
<div id="attachment_326" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-326" href="http://paritydesign.com/2010/02/17/modern-neutrals/theater2/"><img class="size-full wp-image-326" title="theater2" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/theater2.jpg?w=420&#038;h=255" alt="" width="420" height="255" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Home Theater</p></div>
<p>The screen door opens onto a deck.  He had blackout shades installed for summer time movie viewing.</p>
<div id="attachment_315" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-315" href="http://paritydesign.com/2010/02/17/modern-neutrals/bedroom1/"><img class="size-full wp-image-315" title="bedroom1" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/bedroom1.jpg?w=420&#038;h=261" alt="" width="420" height="261" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Master Bedroom</p></div>
<p>Light furniture, a big leather chair and metal wall art play off the beautiful fireplace in the master bedroom.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My client wanted to make a few changes to his place.  He had furniture and art and nice wall colors.  The bathroom needed some help.  It had an old sliding door shower stall, an old light fixture and mirror and a too small toilet tank cabinet.  He needed a little more storage and a cleaner look.  Here&#8217;s how this room turned out.</p>
<div id="attachment_156" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-156" href="http://paritydesign.com/2009/11/23/bachelor-pad-updates/p1010376/"><img class="size-full wp-image-156" title="P1010376" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1010376-e1259025408831.jpg?w=420&#038;h=560" alt="" width="420" height="560" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">New lights &amp; Mirror</p></div>
<div id="attachment_157" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-157" href="http://paritydesign.com/2009/11/23/bachelor-pad-updates/p1010384/"><img class="size-full wp-image-157" title="P1010384" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1010384.jpg?w=420&#038;h=315" alt="" width="420" height="315" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">New shower curtain &amp;  wall cabinets</p></div>
<div id="attachment_158" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-158" href="http://paritydesign.com/2009/11/23/bachelor-pad-updates/p1010380/"><img class="size-full wp-image-158" title="P1010380" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1010380.jpg?w=420&#038;h=315" alt="" width="420" height="315" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Extra long towel bar!</p></div>
<p>My client originally consulted me because he was wondering if this armoire would fit in with his place.  It did.  We changed out a brightly patterned rug for this black rug.</p>
<div id="attachment_160" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-160" href="http://paritydesign.com/2009/11/23/bachelor-pad-updates/p1010413/"><img class="size-full wp-image-160" title="P1010413" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1010413-e1259025806371.jpg?w=420&#038;h=560" alt="" width="420" height="560" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The cabinet that started it all...</p></div>
<div id="attachment_159" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-159" href="http://paritydesign.com/2009/11/23/bachelor-pad-updates/p1010392/"><img class="size-full wp-image-159" title="P1010392" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1010392.jpg?w=420&#038;h=315" alt="" width="420" height="315" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">New rug, the box in the window adds display room for more photos and cards</p></div>
<p>In the Living Room, the sectional was a little crowded by the fireplace so we pulled it back and put the desk by the window.  He wanted storage for logs and papers to make fires in the Fall and Winter, so I found these boxes that were the right size.</p>
<div id="attachment_161" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-161" href="http://paritydesign.com/2009/11/23/bachelor-pad-updates/p1010408/"><img class="size-full wp-image-161" title="P1010408" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1010408.jpg?w=420&#038;h=315" alt="" width="420" height="315" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">We pushed the sectional back and centered the artwork and then gave the wine refridgerator a new home as a side table.</p></div>

<div id="attachment_163" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 430px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-163" href="http://paritydesign.com/2009/11/23/bachelor-pad-updates/p1010402/"><img class="size-full wp-image-163" title="P1010402" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1010402.jpg?w=420&#038;h=315" alt="" width="420" height="315" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Textured boxes under the fireplace to store logs and paper.</p></div>
<p>We replaced the gold tone door handles with these nice brushed silver handles.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-164" title="P1010411" src="http://paritydesign.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/p1010411.jpg?w=420&#038;h=315" alt="We replaced the gold toned door handles." width="420" height="315" /></p>
