Staging Kauai - the "Mosaic Room"

Before I get too far into the details of actually Staging this home; I thought I'd share some of the details of the house it's self, and more importantly the details the Home Owners and builders of this project put into it.

This is what is referred to as the Mosaic Room - well, it's really the Mosaic Bathroom, but it's big enough to be considered a small room. The owners used indigenous, oil rubbed Paka wood and 4 different kinds of marble, sandstone and fossilized limestone (you can't see it in the picture, but in the fossilized limestone there are cross sections of sea shells and tiny fish the size of my pinky fingernail). Walk in shower is at the back of the bathroom.

THESE are the SINKS and FAUCETS! (Cost per faucet set? Roughly $2,700 each - I didn't even ask about the Moasic Sink cost of the sink) Some might be turned away by this, but they are absolutely fabulous in person and as you can see they work beautifully with the overall décor of the bathroom. The owners didn't skimp on anything, which many of us see when the builders "run-out-of -money, they're still going full board ahead. And you might all want to know, they have never hired an Interior Decorator or Designer for anything in the home - until now J.

Sometimes it's so refreshing to be able to Stage a house where we, ourselves, can simply be decorators and really show off a showcase home!

Mahalo!

Aloha Connie,

I love fossilized limestone and coral. The sink looks like etched bronze and the Paka wood is perfect. With a copper roof to boot. The mosiac bath is fabulous darling send up the champagne and fetch me in an couple of hours. From the looks of it there's no tub, but when you have this attention to detail who cares.

can't wait to see more.

Actually the only bathroom that has a tub is the master bath - and what a tub it is!

Actually a little detail about the showers though - they don't have standard "drains". They have trough drains (copper of course) which means the water disappears under the wall into a 1" space or slit. So imagine, when you're standing in the shower, you don't see the drain, the water just flows into the wall.

Kathy ~ More photos are to come! I've been so busy I haven't been able to keep up with everything :-(

Hi, Cindy ~They're looking for a "home manager" while the property is on the market. If my husband and I didn't both have are own businesses, we'd be moving in a heart-beat! It is going to be listed at around $20M - so attention to detail is very important. Did you see my blog on the master bath suite? If not, take a look! Staging the bathrooms are going to be a cinch - they sell themselves!

$20M- Wow! I can see why with that much attention to the details. This must be a wonderful project for you.
