“Sneak Peak” at the Grand Reserve

Designers Jen Kravchuk and Halle Stephens decided to create an upscale, transitional design utilizing a grey and cobalt color palette with aqua accents, for the Clubhouse at Grand Reserve. They incorporated a variety of fabrics and surface finishes to add depth and textural contrast to the open space. The dark plank floor is complimented by the light grey striated, textured sofa fabric – which is punctuated by nailhead trim detail. The nearby leather ottomans also incorporate the nailhead trim. Throw pillows on the sofas add a mix of traditional fabrics (like solid velvet and damask) with a more modern stripe. The beautiful “art silk” area rug is reminiscent of an abstract watercolor and anchors the seating group. There are designer touches throughout- from the capiz shell front on the console to the unique art grouping, custom silks, and faux wrought iron room divider. The interesting tray ceiling architectural detail was artfully painted to enhance the overall design. The industrial pewter chandelier with Edison bulbs, adds another focal point to this beautiful clubhouse. The mixed use of natural materials like metal, wood, shell, plants and greenery – along with an abundance of natural light- all contribute to the comfortable ambiance created by Jen and Halle. Stay tuned for additional, professional photos to come…

Decker Ross Interiors Participates in The Longest Table

Decker Ross Interiors Participates in WUSF Public Media Event: The Longest Table

On a recent “gusty” Thursday evening, WUSF held its annual fundraiser along beautiful Bayshore Boulevard in St. Petersburg: The Longest Table. This year’s sold out event drew nearly 1000 people and numerous well known bay area restauranteurs were able to showcase their delectable cuisine and talent for creative table décor. Their creativity was reviewed by judges: Sheila Rue and Diane Lemieux, both of WUSF, along with Suzan Decker Ross, ASID- Owner of Decker Ross Interiors. Their selection for the winning table was The Mill, who made the brilliant decision to enlist the creative genius of Concept Bait’s, Lynn McGhee. The décor featured a knarly, twisted canopy of faux tree limbs entwined with greenery and colorful floral centerpieces. The Longest Table stretched from the Vinoy to the Museum of Fine Arts, where the “After Party” was held. A fabulous time was had by all in attendance, and $21,000 was raised for WUSF Public Media!

NEWLY RENOVATED EXTERIOR – DECKER ROSS INTERIORS

DECKER ROSS INTERIORS, a Clearwater landmark since 1993, recently completed a major renovation to its design studio on Court Street. The former building has been transformed into a light, airy, contemporary design with a tapered stacked stone entrance feature. A number of aluminum louvered sun-shades and a protective awning add architectural interest to the entry area. A unique metal “topper” and one of a kind metal sunflowers adorn the freshly updated façade. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you see the eye catching new sign flanked by two lovely travelers palms. Note the color correlation between the large ceramic pots and the welcoming front door – soothing spa blue. Xeriscaped rock gardens and a fountain add a Zen quality to the grounds.

Decker Ross Interiors contracted Aude-Smith Architecture to facilitate the design and partnered with Southern Pointe Construction to construct and oversee the renovation. All Metals Custom added the finishing touches with their spectacular metal work. Owner, Suzan Decker Ross, ASID, in conjunction with her talented design team, not only selected the exterior finishes, but created some fresh updates to the interior as well. They invite you to stop by and visit their newly renovated “digs” located at: 1445 Court Street, Clearwater, Florida 33756.

HIGHPOINT MARKET – SPRING 2016

Owner, Suzan Decker Ross and Interior Designer, Marci Tempesta recently returned from the Spring Highpoint Furniture Market, in Highpoint North Carolina.  Although Suzan has attended numerous markets over the years, this was Marci’s first experience in Highpoint.  “It was very exciting and each showroom was even better than the previous one!” Marci exclaimed.  She added, “It was so nice to see the collections in person, giving me additional confidence in recommending the products to my clients.”  She also enjoyed being able to pick out some accessories and furnishings for her current clients in person.

Both designers mentioned how beautiful the various lighting showrooms were.  “Luna Bella was probably my favorite,” Marci commented.  They also thought Guild Master and Steven Shell had extremely impressive showrooms and both featured a variety of unique and beautiful designer finishes.

Veteran Interior Designer, Suzan Decker Ross, relayed some observed changes over the years- including an increase in the number of products being made domestically.  “Although Market has become much busier over the years, transportation to and from the area hotels is a lot easier than it used to be- with the use of shuttles,” Suzan noted.  “They have also featured more high profile entertainment over the last few years,” she added.

Suzan and Marci both observed that gold finishes are making a comeback, along with platinum and silver in both shiny and brushed type finishes. The Industrial look continues to be a current design trend, along with “live edge” wood tables with metal bases.  Suzan noted the use of recycled materials in a variety of products, and numerous specialty wall treatments, including “living walls”.   She snapped a photo of Marci demonstrating the “Peelable Wallpaper”, which you can check out on our website.  As far as colors go, blush pink, and various shades of blues and greys were prominently featured throughout the various showrooms.

All in all, the Spring 2016 Highpoint Market was a fabulous, enriching experience and both Suzan and Marci returned with new, creative ideas and a few funny stories.  Ask them about their literal “brush” with Donny Osmond on the plane headed to Market (where he was a featured entertainer)!

RADIANCE MEDSPA TEAMS UP WITH DECKER ROSS INTERIORS ON EXPANSION

When owner, Stephanie Schlageter, decided it was time to expand her highly successful Radiance Medspa business, it was only natural to turn to local designer, Suzan Decker Ross, for her interior design expertise. For many years, the two highly regarded professional women have worked together through their extensive involvement in the community- from the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce and Clearwater Jazz Holiday, to various charity events and fundraisers, like HEP (Homeless Empowerment Project).

For this project, design work encompasses space planning and furniture layout, color scheme, flooring, finishes, lighting, and art to ensure that the entire med-spa is not only functional- but creates the desired ambiance for their clientele: a tasteful atmosphere of relaxation and rejuvenation. Suzan, and designer, Marci Tempesta, are incorporating natural elements into the sleek, modern, sophisticated design plan which will feature a teal, grey and silver color scheme. They’re working closely with Contractors, John and Gordon of JB Group, LLC, who are heading up the renovation and construction of the expansion- which will double the square footage of the existing facility. Stephanie is particularly excited about the opportunities the new “Radiance University” community room will provide. It will be used to host educational programs as well as networking group events- such as AchieveHERS and the Belleair Bluffs Business Association. Radiance will provide food/drink and marketing support for local charities like: HEP (Homeless Empowerment Project), Habitat for Humanity, Hammers & Heels, SPCA 1000 Bitches, and Fab 50- when they are utilizing this room. Supporting our local community is the primary goal of the new Radiance University community room.
