More Construction!

The team began another ABRID Bathroom Remodel this week. We are removing the old fiberglass tub, and installing a beautiful tiled shower, with glass block enclosure. We are also adding a doorway to connect 2 bedrooms. Check back for photo updates daily!

Annilee Ramirez & ABR Interior Design Bring Style to Sachse
Annilee Ramirez has been working as a designer since 2003. After completing all of the requirements for licensing in 2007, Annilee received her Interior Design license from the State of Texas.
Although she was originally employed by Interior Designer Firms in Austin and Dallas, Annilee is now based in Sachse. Annilee officially started ABR Interior Design in January 2008.
After attending art school at UT Austin, I worked in the feature film and television industry in art departments and set decorating. After 5 years, I decide to venture into the real world, hoping to make more of an impact in my own community.
Annilee says, “I am truly inspired by my clients. Everyone has new ideas and presents new challenges to create great design. I can offer very personalized flexible design services. As an independent designer, I can work any way that my clients feel comfortable, without preconceived restrictions. I have met so many great local business owners. The Chamber has helped build my confidence as an independent business woman, by knowing that I am not alone!”

Custom Funky Chandelier

I just finished creating this custom chandelier. I found the pair of ugly, dirty green fixtures at a junk store downtown. Spray paint, some new wiring and a colorful mix of sparkley jewels was all it took to make this super funky, very original chandelier! I needed some more whimsy in my kitchen!

Custom Lamp ~ Before and After

After reading Eddie Ross' blog today, I decided to post my custom lamp creation. It came from a movie set I worked on a long time ago. It was ugly, but I loved it! The shade is dupioni silk, and the base is brass and wood, so it was easy to update. I painted the base with spray paint, then added details with a brush. I used a very intense solution of water and Rit Dye in a regular spray bottle, and sprayed the shade. A little ribbon for accent, and Viola!
