loft living project: "chateaux monroe" common area re-design. original artwork abounds in this loft re-design.

From the rescued 45′s "visual music" piece, to the inspiration corner, it’s nyc artist living in full tilt.

AFTER SHOT: interior, art & photography: a. golden, eyewash design, NYC, April 2008

What you see:
Fireproof elevator shaft doors were stripped of 25 years of paint to their original metal cover. Repainted using chalkboard paint & covered in inspirational quotes instantly turned this boring corner into a feature. Used: aircraft solvent stripper (very heady stuff, be careful & make certain you have proper masks & ventilation!).

Floor: 1970′s gray linoleum tiles covered with multi-layers of industrial-strength Behr indoor/outdoor porch paint with a polka-dot pattern. Sealed with eco-friendly polyurethane (unless you want to re-do the floors again, I don’t recommend this product).

These low-cost treatments instantly changed what once appeared as "morgue floors" into a classic modern black-and-white motif design.
