Sandra initially took measurements and met with the architect and contractor in October 2015. The installation was complete just over a year later in October 2016. The main house was under a serious re-model, so it took several trips during 2016 to go check on the progress and revise their elevation drawings for de Gournay. The scenic panels were all custom drawn showing the buildings on the Texas Christian University Campus. Quite a few of the walls were curved under the stair and up the staircase to the second floor landing. Sandra ended up doing this area in sections. They did not want to put any paper in the stairwell until all the furnishings had been placed, so it looked a little strange for a while. Sandra used a woven liner under their scenics and 880 adhesive. At times she used a smoother, but most of the time they put their seams down by touch with surgical gloves or white compression fabric gloves. Sandra noted that the most difficult part of this install was finding where the pattern started and making sure it followed all the way through.

Designer’s Choice Awards

2016 Winner  |  DALLAS

The designer wanted this powder room ceiling (3 sections) covered with Maya Romanoff reflective paper. The ceiling in the water closet was simple, the curved entry a bit more difficult, and the vanity area the most difficult. This 12’ high ceiling was in four sections that rise and meet in the center. Working around an existing sink and onyx back wall each piece was table trimmed and custom fitted to each section.
