Pull out your calendars and mark Saturday, August 7th from one until four for the AT HOME/The Repertory Theatre of Saint Louis Showhouse unveiling to the world at large the five renovated Garden Apartments. (Directions are below).
For a bit of background: The Rep owns this small apartment complex that looks a lot like a 1950s motel. It's home away from home for the actors appearing both at the Rep, the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis as well as many other venues in town. The lodgings were considerably less than desirable. So, with the encouragement of the Rep's Backers Board, AT HOME signed on to help draft designers to overhaul five of the twenty residences. The results are bound to astound.
Two of them, Jenny Manganaro of Interior Design Consultants and Zachary Cramberg of Brick and Bramble House and Garden, will soon be hanging their light fixtures.
Here are a few glimpses of the other apartments in progress:
An accent wall in the living room and the beginnings of the remodeled kitchen (with that terrific tile) by Dana Romeis of Fibercations and Emily Castle, ASID, of Castle Design.
A chandelier hung in a living room by Holly Blumeyer Interior Design Group, Ltd.
There is another apartment in the earliest stages being done by Tim Rohan of T. Rohan Inc. But the apartment closest to the finish line is the one done by Marcia Moore of Marcia Moore Design and Denise Fogarty of Denise Fogarty Interiors. Check out the concrete countertop. So cool. And the horizontal subway tile in the bathroom that has been turned into a vertical in the kitchen. Love that!
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
The address: 627 Garden Avenue. Park in Lot O across the street from the apartments.The cost of admission (to raise money for the Rep and hopefully to help with the cost of updating some of the 15 apartments that remain): $20.
From I-44: Get off on Elm and go north to Big Bend Blvd. Turn right on Big Bend and go one mile to Edgar Road. Turn right onto Edgar and left onto Garden Ave.
From Highway 40: Take Hanley Road south to Big Bend. Turn right on Big Bend and then left on Old Orchard Ave. At the bend, Old Orchard turns into Garden Ave. The apartments are on your right and the parking lot will be on your left.
