Smart Wth A Smile

One of Jeff Harris’ biggest challenges was the starlit ceiling for the home theater. In addition to eight cerise leather motorized recliners, the Kuteys’ media room walls are lined to be totally blacked out when watching movies or videos, but decorated with Roman shades with striking red and black cornices for interesting color and design. To top it all off, Jeff cut 2,100 individual holes in the ceiling through which to fish fiber optic lines. When cut with a soldering knife, the fiber end melts and causes the twinkle effect when the switch is turned on. http://www.housetrends.com/Housetrends/Tampa/April-2013/Smart-with-a-Smile/ Photos by Johan Roetz Resources: Interior decorator, window treatments and floral arrangements: Amy Butts; Furniture and accessories: Annabelle’s Fine Home Furnishings; Landscaping: Plant Adoptions; Outdoor lighting: Northern Lights; Pool and spa: Landmark Pools; Windows and doors: PGT; Kitchen, bathroom and media room cabinetry: Deems Cabinets; Granite countertops: International Granite; Appliances: Wolf; Samsung; GE Profile; Den cabinetry: Amoroso Cabinets; Home automation and security systems: Hive; Fireplaces: A Plus Fireplaces; Artistic painting: Dawn Neri-Renner; Shutters, drapery and wall hangings: Installed by Fred Scheeffler; Generator: 48K Generac for whole house by Hive; Pavers and retaining walls: Paver Crafters; Builder: Arthur Rutenberg-Lyons Heritage
