Media Room Trim Out: Evanston
This project involved constructing and installing wall panels to create a unique and specific design, as well as installing all finishing trim in this Client’s new media room. The challenges of this project - which made it really fun - were the many complex inside and outside corners involved in the trim work.
The homeowner is an accomplished and very talented interior designer, which meant I had detailed plans to work with and it made conversations about her vision for the media room really interesting and clear.
