I have friends named Sherri – yup plural friends but with the same name.

One Sherri is a brilliant contractor (DetailsRenovations.com) and can take any project from ‘meh’ to WOWZA!

The other Sherri has this incredible talent for interior design – even though that’s not her profession.

Together these two have knocked my socks off – more than once.

Case in point, this is Sherri’s dining room:

I thought it was beautiful before, but Sherri wanted to create a stone feature wall to really take it to “WOW!”

So she called Sherri at Details Renovations who managed to make it a reality.

Any stone feature wall is not a job for the faint of heart – each section had to be cut and inlaid into the ones around it to create a smooth transition through that notched section of wall.  There are plugs and light switches that all had to be cut out perfectly and then the junction boxes raised to the new surface of the stone.  It looks like new drywall was laid as well?  Holy-guacamole!

On top of that, Sherri (Details Renovations Sherri) then had to come up with a way to hang crown moulding over top of the stone.

NOT a DIY project – unless you are a hard-core DIYer with some serious tools and experience.

The result is perfection!

Here it is in the daylight (iPhone photo – sorry).

And here is Sherri’s new stone feature wall in the romantic light of evening:

Are you kidding me with this?!

SPECTACULAR!

Sherri re-situated her gorgeous antiques and this room is ready for Architectural Digest.
