Capturing Spaces: Furniture by Carnevale Studio for Faust at the Dean Hotel in Providence, RIĀ6/6/2014 by Christian Scully The new Dean Hotel in Providence, RI brings hip Brooklyn culture to what Architectural Digest named the country's best small city. The creative visionaries at ASH NYC took a property with a rather dark and dingy history, and turned it into a boutique hotel meets social hub. In the main hotel, 52 beautifully designed guest rooms, a cocktail bar, and at night a karaoke lounge. In the adjoining space, Faust, a Bavarian beer hall serving craft beer, an appetizing menu, and the perfect atmosphere for a casual night out. Jessica Carnevale, a Rhode Island School of Design graduate and successful designer behind the innovative "Stretch" collection of chairs, was commissioned to design the furniture for Faust, and did an incredible job. We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to photograph the interiors and furniture for Carnevale Studio.

by Christian Scully With this beautiful Spring weather [finally] arriving and bringing those bright sunshiny days, I would be lying if I said I didn't want to be outside. I love interior photography, but Father Winter surely overstayed his welcome and hung around for nearly half a year!! So if photography keeps me indoors these days, it might as well be for a great reason. Doug Masters, of Masters Touch Design Build, provided such a reason. Nestled in shade of forest in Norfolk, MA, this lovely space really caught my eye and held my attention. Sturdy wooden beams, a warm wooden living room, bright pops of color in the sitting room, wonderfully simple cabinetry and ample counter space in the kitchen and then a naturally lit spa room with a built in jacuzzi on the back of the house? There are so many different aspects to the design I don't know how they all work together, but when homeowners have such a fun vision and Masters Touch has 18 years of experience and the people to make it happen, the result is certainly photo worthy. I sat down to chat with Doug after the shoot to learn more about his company. Check out this short video and view some of our favorite still images below. Then go outside and enjoy the weather!!

by Christian Scully As a small business owner, I understand the difficulties that come with trying to establish your own company. There are so many things to do, so many aspects of the operation to manage and endless costs to cover. You need to market your product or service in order to earn new business, but you need to afford the costs of marketing. It’s the old dilemma of “what came first?”
It takes time and continued effort to devise a marketing strategy that works best for your particular business. We are constantly trying new things, testing campaigns, and evaluating what will cause the phone to ring and your website to flood with traffic. As business slowly starts to roll in, you might have an opportunity to bid on a project. This is one of the most difficult parts of business that I have encountered, and I don’t feel alone in the experience. How you price will impact every other part of your business. Know Your Costs So how do you price your product or service? Do you compete on price? Do you compete on quality alone? What you charge says a lot about your business. I can speak personally to the creative industry, one that is packed with everyone from well-established industry veterans to high school hobbyists. As a professional that tries to represent a trade with respect and pride, I don’t want to just offer the lowest price to win a job. I want to offer a thoughtful price that covers my operational costs, my desired profit and one that is fair for the value of my service. Plan Ahead Marketing Marketing is an operational cost often overlooked, or neglected until a need arises. If you plan for marketing costs from the beginning, you will be able to afford it when the time comes. I often speak with potential clients that need professional photographs of a completed design project, but they don't really have a budget for it. Planning ahead for marketing is the solution. The budget for professional photography can be established before the need arises. If an interior designer considers the cost of photography when estimating a project, that operational cost can be built in to the designer's fees. Then when the project is completed, funds are already set aside for professional photography. I highly suggest to anybody looking to hire a photographer, or build a new website, or start a pay-per-click campaign, that you plan for it from the start. If not, then you are forced to pay out-of-pocket, and you reduce your profits. Cover your costs of doing business from the time of estimating and pricing, and you’ll never have to worry about affording your marketing again.

But there are buds on the the trees, just waiting for this snow to melt and the temperature to rise just enough. Soon the world will be green again! In honor of the next season to bloom, and to give a glimpse of hope to some unhappy Northerners, I'd thought I'd share a few summer snapshots from last year. Enjoy, and say goodbye to old man winter! I, for one, am looking forward to creating summertime cityscapes, sunset exteriors... and the beach!
