Penthouse Apartment Gets An Elegant Dog-Friendly Makeover | Design Inc | Abode

paper was light gold in medieval times [Music] i want tobacco sugar [Music] that everything we thought we knew about the world might turn out to be completely wrong i'm sarah richardson this is ingrid and this is dallas this is their new penthouse high in the sky and this is what their penthouse looks like now thanks to lots of help from design inc design inc is going to new heights for our next project 46. anybody suffer from heights i get dizzy feel great that's what we need tight timelines in a dizzy blonde we're getting a sneak peek at this new buy we're getting into the penthouse in a month you know what i've lost everything i can't even remember we looked at it like months ago nice to meet you so while dallas gets reacquainted with his purchase we have to see through the style of the old owner and come up with a clear vision for the new owners wow you can do weather reports and traffic reports this is fantastic i just love that when you walk in it's all open we'd love to have people over and to entertain and we have a dog so he needs to be able to rub up next to it okay what kind of dog chocolate obviously you know your whites and creams for the most part for upholstery are out with the chocolate lab what is the priority that you want something that looks um elegant streamlined sophisticated or is this like really kickback relaxed i need to be able to lay on the couch okay and i need it with the first part to make that happen if i think about what ingrid is trying to convey i'm guessing it is the idea of classic new york city glamour it should look like a penthouse and this kitchen looks anything but kitchen gone new right okay sexy the short cabinets need to go to the ceiling for major impact i hope that bulkhead isn't an issue what do you think about those poles they have to go i have a feeling they're holding up the roof of the building so or you can basically say they're here and we're going to make the space look so great that you're not going to notice them preview's almost done we need more info do you require a sideboard do you like a tv at that level do you guys like the idea of the sectional how important is seating how about accent color i love sagey green or some silver pieces we've got some direction and it's looking up way up i think if you're going to live in a penthouse you've got to be prepared to up the ante and go for high style and that they can get it all done for 10 000 is awesome i know that's amazing dream on lindsay's high standards are perfect for her first big project no i'm so scared our junior stylist is going to soar with a little help from the team lindsay's chicken this is my first room on my own i think i've been trained really well from working side by side with the other team members with sarah i'm totally excited where to begin i think i just want an inspirational fabric to jump off of but i like that i don't know if it's the right colors but i love it i need knee pads for this type of work i have to remember more is more even if you're not sure just grab it anyway that's sarah's number one rule what are we looking at here for me this project is going to be driven by the dog normally if you said to me i have a penthouse on the 46th floor i would say it's cream on cream on cream with an accent of white and maybe a bit of ivory however if you have a chocolate lab you can't have that scheme we also can't use these lovely soft fabrics because fuzzy things catch dog hair so we want to go for smooth textures and i like the idea of combining a bit of stripe but maybe some more of these graphic fabrics would you upholster in this oh if you have something that's supposed to look super tailored something like a club chair so let's do that and we can use this linen on sumptuous his and hers chesses let's use all of these fabrics that are expensive let's use them for accents it'll help with our budget because we're going to need a lot of fabric especially for all these windows it's not really an issue for privacy but for me there's still that kind of softening and we don't want this to be lined we want it to be a shear so i'm good with all that you got an a oh thank you let's hope our choices make the grade with ingrid and dallas how are you guys good nice to see you toss out anything that doesn't appeal to you i'm gonna pull this one this one out is it working for me there's nothing you're opposed to nope i'm all sad i'm blown away it's very calming and it's still relatively clean which is what i was looking for what about our furniture choices we were thinking a long nine foot sofa kept dallas in mine because it's a bit more masculine and these were the chairs we wanted to use along with it good work time to pick up what we need oh no this cannot this is neat though bless you we have a bit of a problem okay the fabric we were going to use on the chesses the whole lot it's all gone what does that teach you there is no time like yesterday do you think you're just gonna have to decide choose something else and go with it okay thanks ingrid dallas and mr finnegan are moving on up and so is lindsay no i'm so scared she's taken the lead on designing a fabulous penthouse loving it but a critical fabric has us hanging by a thread we stock checked yesterday for this fabric and it was in and not even 12 hours later it's gone it's not the same it might be too yellow yeah i just don't think it's the right fabric this is crazy i'm going able we need something two-toned to hide the dirt with this one you'll hide more than the dirt it's like i here sweetheart this i guarantee you could use it for upholstery this i guarantee you i can't use breakfast i guarantee you mercerized sample rice feather proof etcetera you can't find any fabric okay look i'm still digging no a little quick thinking goes a long way jen that's not bad what's this one but i think i like this one it's a little it has more variations in it yeah high five custom furniture is on schedule [Music] and the custom kitchen well it's kate's turn to pitch our ideas it's a major upgrade which includes increasing the size and functionality of the island we want this kitchen to be sexy and we've kind of coined it cookies and cream we feel like it's it's dark and it's creamy okay so we're looking at browns and cream so all of this in peridot i like that and do you think a basketweave would be too busy i feel like it might be a bit too traditional penny rounds in marble those look like nickels to me they're quarters yeah the imperator front door i don't know but it's like this weird haunted mansion what we'd like to do is every place you see a gable would be creamy and then the doors would be dark wood you're smiling i love you like it found the most incredible pendants to hang over the island that is really really cool and we've got this circle motif going we found this great sexy hardware okay those round recessed poles are stunning i like it hardware's the jewelry of the kitchen it has to be fabulous someone doesn't look convinced how about round tile this would run all the way up the back wall as the backsplash and then we'd start to add in some dark granite to make it pop i love the color scheme i'm gravitating to this this is intimidating me what did you see um i really didn't think much about it i knew you would handle it and the cookies and cream just love that idea i'll be eating ice cream every single day in that kitchen thanks ladies so it's a no for the tile and knobs but a go for getting the keys our turn to make the penthouse spectacular all right and the bulkhead is yeah we should be okay history our high style cabinetry can soar to the ceiling the next tall order high impact pieces to complement our exotic wood in the kitchen i like this oh this one's neat we need to find heather and try to get her to take this on hold this is cool on our budget things are turning around nicer that doesn't sound like a happy high no what's up um the veneer my contact has gone missing in action i had asked that the video be delivered last friday didn't happen so i've contacted someone else in the organization who is on vacation of course and i've also gone ahead and contacted the company that is applying the veneer to the ply and i'm getting the run around there oh i knew this was going to be a problem and it was all gonna seamlessly come together and it seems like it's falling apart at the scene playing a part of the scene exactly those aren't the only scenes that are falling apart we had a little leak flood water problem we had a huge storm ended up crashing into their pet house and leaking water through the windows i've always watched these design shows before and i always question timelines and how they're under all this stress and i kind of laughed at it well i'm not laughing anymore it caused water damage along the floor but one of the most important things is that there's no moisture in here we have to do a moisture test because we're using exotic wood pores and if those absorb any moisture on the ground they will bubble and expand so my flooring guy is not laying one board until he comes here and inspects it so the longer the floors are delayed pushes back the install the kitchen which pushes back the install of our counters and pushes back finishing the whole place the walnut will complement the macasar ebony veneer in the kitchen perfectly if we can get it look into it tomorrow morning and let me know thanks i thought you basically bought veneer like you buy uh sheets of plywood right so first they have to buy a log if it's all sliced in consecutive slices so all the grain matches up okay you have to cut a log to make exotic veneer so in other words we're not getting veneer quickly at least we can get up to speed with paint color i have wispy gray your oyster bay jen you are gray star but they look like white white and white right a lot bluer than i thought a lot bluer than i thought all of which means try try oh why am i going to cry no but you can try again hey nice look at that does ingrid like the floors please tell me she does she loves it and she loves them what's not to love about walnut the paint colors on the other hand none of the colors on the walls match the colors from the paint deck maybe there's a new trainee at the paint store if you don't succeed in the first 10 samples that you tried just keep going or in this case just trust the paint deck forget all these samples just i'm willing to commit just go for oyster bed oyster bait is an oyster bay we got it's a perfect match the kitchen cabinets the dining room mirror all the pieces are coming together but there's one big element left to find okay you tell me what we're looking for well there's only you know 400 different types to look at here so we need counters and it could take a while what do you think about this calicotta little beanie how about this chocolate number yeah it's uh it's got a lot going on think about that no you don't like i'm not loving it i'm not loving that the bumpiness of it what about this one oh why do you like that beige crema alfredo mmm sounds tasty i like that one okay okay let's keep looking yeah this is definitely feeling right dallas what do you think about this looks just like the other one he's in hell let's go can we please leave okay okay this is the one lindsay's risen to the challenge on her first big job but we've got a long way to go before this place is done look at that mirrored wall and now we've got a scent exposure as well oh look at the furniture they love it i love this fabric here someone's not buying into our design drama if they love it all covered in plastic they're gonna love it love it love it when we uncover it my daughter's on site to make the call time for designing to pull this penthouse together so let's try tucking this one right into the corner this is the main room for the whole space my approach is push it back look at those pendants look at these doors three weeks late but that was worth all the effort everything says high style are you done it's like having the moon those drapes are too short again those drapes are an inch and a half too short what goes up must come down but the bigger issue this site is not ready for us appliances counter backsplash the to-do list is long but the day is done trying to put down a rug when there's saws and painting going on it's a nice try but it's not the right approach so let's pack it up let's make it and let's get it alrighty [Music] and in the light of a new day the drapes that were too short are now the right length but as they go back up down below it looks like our counters are a touch too long pieces are 117. nothing she's not gonna fit [Music] nope we're sure we've had ups you got an a and downs renovating dallas and ingrid's penthouse but we never expected this pieces are 117. now she's not gonna fit nope we need a counter and there's only one way to get it there so they dropped the elevator down the guys had to load the slab and they're in another elevator riding from the ground floor to the 46th floor with a slab of marble right on the top something i thought only international spies were good at nicely done that is just awesome oh yeah there's a second piece i don't want to do it again that's for sure [Music] can't top that action but we can top off the design before ingrid and dallas arrive don't know if it does enough too strongly that's pretty nice oh wow that's it my learning experience is you have to follow through follow through follow through and never miss a detail the challenge of this project was obviously to take a guy's guy and a girly girl and create a style that would appeal to both of them holy i can't swear cow accessories which address a woman's need for something soft and pretty and furnishings which address a man's need for something big and comfortable there's no reason why you can't have it all it's met my needs that's all i absolutely when i look out to all the high rises of downtown they always have this kind of sparkly shimmer and that's really what we wanted to bring into the living area was something that was slightly grayed and muted but we wanted it to have some interest this is really what life in the clouds feels like to me the space feels so much bigger so much bigger than i expected this isn't just a formal living room this is where they watch tv this is where they're gonna hang out with the dog i mean this is everything so that's really why we decided to go for the two sheds in the tucked back in the corner that's all about you know their special spot but at the same time when you're entertaining you can purge two people or three on each one and that just adds to the kind of party feel of the space we chose all these fabrics based on the fact that they have a chocolate lab hey dude what do you think we wanted to choose colors that would be sympathetic he matches you match the through you look perfect in this room the sort of hot button that we zoned in on was exotic wood the first huge change that happened in here was the installation of the floor getting rid of that broad loom and the kitchen this place is nothing like it was before if you're going to have a really elegant living room and be staring right at your kitchen your kitchen better be i'm blown away by the kitchen it's amazing what i really wanted to do was inject importance into this space and what this kitchen has now is an abundance of texture the round shell applique on the pendant lights the texture from the macasar ebony the softness of the countertops and then the play of the backsplash which kate found which is a combination of polished glass matte glass and that stone again this is the uber island as far as i'm concerned because it does absolutely everything once you've done something really exotic and fabulous for your kitchen you can't just go and choose some average wood side board the tv cabinet and the sideboard are both vintage deco they will hold their value they will increase in value and that is what gives such incredible panache to this space when it's done a little penthouse we wanted the dining room to be something that was kind of intimate enough that they could enjoy a dinner just the two of them but also special enough and flexible enough that they could have a nice big dinner putting the mirror over the entire wall was my solution of how to open it up this being my first project it was an amazing experience i love kind of being the captain of a project and kind of controlling it it's really rewarding this is without a doubt one of my favorite spaces that we have ever done i would live here in a heartbeat we're going to be able to relax here mr finnegan's comfortable everything's good so it's elegant but comfortable it's beautiful [Music] you
