he desire to transform their dark, heavy and mediterranean influenced home interior led the homeowners of a mansion in Odessa to reach out to Crespo Design Group. A client for more than six years, the couple contacted Enrique Crespo and the team at Crespo Design Group to handle the task. “Our goal was to lighten the home,” said Enrique Crespo, Principal of Crespo Design Group. “The client was ready for a change and we created a clean, transitional, casual living space with an industrial flair.” The project involved an addition and renovated first floor. “We re-did the living and kitchen area by re-configuring the kitchen area, adding a game room and wine room,” said Crespo. “We began the project in December 2019 and due to pandemic there were delays in getting all the furnishings from the mills and manufactures that shut down due to the crisis.” The formal living room was transformed top to bottom by repainting all the walls and lightening the room. The previous color scheme was mustards, maroons and blacks. The fresh design incorporated creams, taupes and blues. “We transformed the fireplace mantle with a coat of white paint,” said Crespo. It was previously black.” The large mirror reflects light into the tranquil space and allows the baby grand piano to shine. A focal point of furniture are two Mr. Brown of London honeycomb wood side chairs with blue cushions. The addition of the game room allows plenty of family fun and entertaining with the billiard table, shuffle board and round card table that opens out to the pool area. The custom wood beams and circular chandelier bring definition to the ceiling. The flooring is a French White Oak with gray stain.
