A Must See!

Last Friday afternoon I visited a local art gallery in Raleigh, the Lee Hansley Gallery on Glenwood Ave. I had been personally invited by an local artist to view his recent work.
WOW! Jon Kolkin Fine Art Photography is an incredible treasure and a must see for all.

I have known Jon for over 10 years now, first as a client and later as a friend. Jon is an extremely accomplished local hand surgeon who also travels the world teaching his skills to doctors in third world countries. Now he is also pursuing a creative role as a fine art photographer. Jon's images capture incredible simple beauty in the world around us and his images bring forth new dimension and detail to landscapes in which we have all experienced in our lives. I would strongly recommend viewing this incredible collection in Raleigh.

Inspirations for Creative Living

Walker Zanger’s natural stones and tiles are our latest inspiration for creative living. Schelfe and Associates was fortunate enough to have Angela Sutton and Sharon Whitehurst from Byrd Tile Distributors visit our office yesterday and give us an exciting presentation of Walker Zanger’s newest and most popular tile collections. Everything we saw was amazing!

Here are a few of our favorites:

Studio Moderne
Inspired by old Hollywood, Studio Moderne is a groundbreaking ceramic tile designed by Michael Berman. This collection features tiles with incredible dimension.

Vibe
Vibe is a fresh new direction in wall tile. The collection’s bold shapes and extravagant hues will add retro pizzazz to any room!

Contessa
Contessa brings together design traditions from Morocco, Italy, China, Spain and France to create a singular hand-painted collection. Choose from a selection of traditional patterns updated with contemporary colors, inventive graphic applications and exclusive metallic glaze.

Matouche
High fashion hits the floor and wall with Walker Zanger Matouche Collection. This porcelain tile collection exhibits exotic textures with amazing authenticity.

Tracciato
Tracciato is taking decorative stone to new heights! Handcrafted in Italy, these stunning tiles are carefully etched to create a dimensional relief this is accented with hand-applied gold and silver leaf. Absolutely stunning!

Life at the TOP!

Schelfe and Associates has recently been retained to design the interiors for a new 33rd floor Penthouse Suite at the recently completed RBC Plaza Condominiums tower in downtown Raleigh. This new penthouse suite will combine two currently separated two bedroom condos into one grand two bedroom suite. The new suite will also combine incredible North and South views of downtown Raleigh. Please keep checking back to see how this design unfolds!

Coastal Retreat!

On a recent family outing to Bald Head Island, North Carolina I took some time investigating some of the incredible new homes dotted throughout this barrier island. Bald Head Island is only accessible by ferry and once on the island no cars are allowed; the only transportation is by golf cart! Our family had a great time and below is a taste of some the great design treats that await you on this sub-tropical paradise.

Enjoy - Tim

I had to sneak a photo of the kids in!!!!

Coastal Installation Details by Sarah

Well, about two weeks ago I said I'd post more images from our coastal installation. Today's focus will be on window treatment details...one of MY favorite parts of a job. Our fabricator did an incredible job, and I was so pleased with how everything turned out!
