Shiplap wraps around the honey-toned wood staircase leading to Jay DeChesere’s artist loft, where
modern industrial meets farmhouse warmth in steel beams and a sheep gate rail.

PSTAIRS is
Jay’s artist loft
and work space.
A long desk
provides space for his archi-tectural
work, and a small
conference table allows for
meetings with clients or for
art workshops. FFT created
custom cabinetry and work-space
for Jay’s painting and
pastel work. A skylight in the
center of the space provides
natural light. To one side, a
large, open area is perfect for
guest artists to set up easels
of their own. One wall is
filled with works in progress,
bringing the flood of color
and energy so characteristic
of a working artist’s space.
