Holtermann of&nbsp;South Dartmouth, Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>Holtermann\u2019s project was chosen as a finalist by&nbsp;guest judge Gael Towey, who said that she likes \u201cthe overall summery feeling of the room\u2013the tile floor and bright informal accessories, and the large windows that let in lots of light. The unmatching dressers that double as side tables are an excellent use of space and give the room style and personality. My favorite feature is the picture rail above the bed that echoes the rough beam overhead\u2013it\u2019s like a drawing on the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at Holtermann\u2019s design and hear what she has to say about her hardest-learned lesson, travertine floors, and where she splurged and where she saved.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>N.B.: This is one of a series of posts spotlighting the winners of the Remodelista Considered Design Awards. We\u2019ll be featuring one winning project each weekday for the next two weeks. Go to the 2014 Considered Design Awards to see all the entries, finalists, and winners.

Holtermann\u2019s Design Statement:<\/strong> This is a little maisonette that I refurbished from top to bottom using local materials, found materials, old materials, and my own wits. I love a good mixture of color and calm, clean but interesting, and a design that can easily be changed with the smallest amount of effort\u2013just move a vase or add a new bright pillow and change a room! I wanted the space to be quiet and romantic for a couple or perfectly peaceful for one. True calm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/7769906961734395556.JPG\"> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>Where do you live?&nbsp;<br \/><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>At present I spend my time between South Dartmouth, New York City, and the South of France. My place that I submitted to the competition is a small, short-term rental property that was a total shambles when I bought it. I wanted to create a stylish and practical environment for my guests. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/970825909800801065.JPG\"> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>What was your biggest splurge?<br \/><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>The bed! It\u2019s an emperor-size DUX bed with a goose-down topper, and I bought outrageously expensive linens! My guests always thank me.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/5016564500246239022.JPG\"> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>What were the hardest lessons you learned along the way?&nbsp;<br \/><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>Spell out exactly what people who are working for you are supposed to do. Leave nothing to chance, such as bathroom tile pattern installation. Not everyone knows to stagger a subway tile!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/2253305251951704001.jpg\"> <\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>Did you cut any corners?<br \/><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>Almost all of the furniture was stuff I\u2019d had in storage for years. Some of it needed a bit of work\u2013cleaning, repainting, etc.\u2013but I was very happy that it all just kind of worked. I really didn\u2019t have to purchase any new pieces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>What is your favorite feature of the project?<br \/><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>I\u2019m very happy with the cathedral travertine floors that actually ended up being slightly less expensive than the wooden floors I was initially going to put in. They look as though they\u2019ve always been there, plus they\u2019re lovely to walk on and easy to take care of.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>What is your day job?&nbsp;<br \/><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>I\u2019m an artist\u2013large-scale abstract\/color field paintings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>Apakah sumber reka bentuk rahsia terbaik anda?<br \/><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>I love architectural salvage places all over the world.&nbsp;I also can never pass up a beautiful piece of driftwood, an interesting stick or branch, or a smooth lovely stone. I\u2019ve carted rocks many miles! Nature is truly one of my greatest design sources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>What projects would you tackle if you had an unlimited budget?<br \/><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>I\u2019d love to take on a large-scale project; a small hotel would be ideal. I\u2019m also addicted to textiles of all sorts, old and new, so it would be nice to have a project to use them all in.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:&nbsp;<\/strong>Which architects or designers do you admire?<br \/><strong>A:&nbsp;<\/strong>Axel Vervoordt\u2013who doesn\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>Congratulations to Anne S.
