Loft, Hallway, & Upper Laundry Room Janice Dietz, The Consulting House

Located along a passageway, an upstairs loft-like space was transformed by Janice Dietz into a quiet retreat suitable for relaxing, reading, working, or gathering. “I considered the other rooms in the house to determine how to give this space function.” Grounding the space with an antique rug, the designer amplified its warm tones with metal details, such as swing-arm wall lights, and wood finishes, including shutters and custom shelving made of brass and reclaimed wood. A contemporary-style upholstered chaise is joined by a nearby library-table desk, another piece that was designed by Dietz. The hallway also has a warm feel, owing to a gallery-style assemblage of artwork specifically commissioned for the space. Dietz treated the laundry room with a similar eye for detail, particularly in a collage of framed artwork that was drawn by the designer’s husband using his iPhone. “It was nice to be able to incorporate a whimsical element to the space.”

We recently sold a house where one designer's touches made it stand out from the rest! It would be easy to assume that when you are looking from $1.5M - $3.0M, every house would have some wow factor. They do - the "wow" can just range from "ouch" to "ahhh".

Yesterday, we sat down with the designer, Janet Dietz, to find out who she is and how she approached the home we sold. Thanks Janet, for the backstage pass. We're SOLD too

Atlanta Symphony Showhouse - Espresso Room & Wine Room Are Complete!

My room was a shell of a space with concrete floors and wood studs and as a result i designed every element of this room. Given it was a small room, i opened up the room by creating a 9 foot wide cased opening. To stay true to a french cafe ambience i selected to have hardwood floors installed in a chevron pattern. The room was designed to have a hint of an art deco feel as the homeowner really liked that style. The design of the crown molding and all the trim was created to support that style without going too literal in order to maintain a softer feel for the space. The cabinet was custom designed as well as the pewter countertop and its decorative edge. The coffee silos were purchased directly from Turkey and it was quite an ordeal getting them through and picking them up from customs. The customs officials could not understand why 12 were needed if we weren't reselling them. The wainscot incorporated moorish style tile which is closely aligned to art deco and is reminiscent of what might be found in turkish coffee houses. I mixed the tile with wood for the wainscot as i felt it was much more interesting than an all tile or all wood wainscot. Also, the wood adds warmth back to the tile. The glass shelves are embedded into the wall to make them look as if they are floating. The espresso machine is a commercial grade machine and is a must have for finishing up the room. The homeowner had seen the chandelier months earlier and hoped to incorporate it somewhere in the house. Given its shape, color and style i felt i could make that happen for him in my room.

Wine Room ( Gallery).  This room was designed to have the wine become an art object in the home.  This room was also a shell of a space.  The espresso room was originally conceived to  be the wine room.

This room was also a shell of a space. The espresso room was originally conceived to be the wine room. The homeowner did not want that large of a space dedicated to wine and was more interested in coffee and the concept of having an espresso room. He loved the idea of having wine stored in an unexpected place and an unexpected way. We carved an area out that had no defined purpose and decided to create a wine wall. There was a soffit that existed in the space and i extended that soffit out further into the room in order to create the illusion of having the wine area dug out of the room. To add to that illusion, i painted the entire area dark with the tile and cabinetry to closely match. The tile utilized on the back wall is a porcelain metallic to give some depth to the space. The racks were custom made in chrome to add a flash. Starfire glass encloses the space.

Atlanta Symphony Showhouse

April 4, 2013 Janice Dietz

I am pleased to have been selected to participate in the 2013 Atlanta Symphony Decorators Showhouse. I have been asked to design two rooms -- the Espresso Room and the Wine Room. Both rooms are shells and completely unfinished. I am designing every element to finish them out. The showhouse opens April 20, 2013 and runs through May 12, 2013. Below you can follow the progression of both rooms being built out. Enjoy!

Atlanta History Center Passport To Celebrations Exhibition

February 4, 2013 Janice Dietz

To celebrate the various holidays around the world I was selected along with a number of other interior designers to create a room vignette and table scape for an exhibition called Passport to Celebrations that was held at the Atlanta History Center from mid November 2012 - December 30, 2012. I was assigned the holiday Rosh Hashanah. I have attached some pictures of the vignette. I created a "mock" dining room and built the paneled walls to enclose my space. The wainscot is in a herringbone pattern. I created floating shelves to showcase some symbols of the holiday such as the shofar. The table linens and the mirror were custom made for the event. The light fixture was put together with glass containers and were lit with votives reflecting off clear and colored beads.
