They started with Weston Coble of Elswood Smith Carlson Architects to redesign the framework of the basement. Then they brought in Orion Design’s Elizabeth Rishel and Alex Huckins in January. Construction began in March 2023 and was completed in late October.

“The goal was a cohesive basement that would flow but for each space to have its own individual personality,” says Orion designer Elizabeth. “We wanted guests to be wowed at every turn and for it to be a feast for the eyes!”

Stacy feels her goals were definitely achieved.

“We are thrilled with how everything came together, with the colors all flowing throughout and tying each room to the other,” she says. “Elizabeth and Alex gave us the confidence to stay the course on what was outside the box for us, with these deep, saturated colors washing all the walls, ceilings and cabinetry. The end result is stunning, and we are appreciative of their gentle guidance to trust the process.”

As for the standout feature of the design?

“No question,” Elizabeth says, “it’s the cowhide wallpaper that we used in the theater room, as well as the two dart board niches. We were able to work with the vendor, Kyle Bunting, to customize the design to exactly what the client was looking for, and even had custom dart boards made from the material.”
