I currently have openings for new EDesign projects! Click here for info. 

Hi Friends! Recently, I've had several "after" photos or "reveal" photos sent to me from some of my amazing online design clients. Today, I have an exciting set of after photos to share. My client, Mary, came to me for a design plan that included a dramatic kitchen makeover and also included the adjacent Family Room. Recently, I shared the Kitchen Makeover. You can catch it by CLICKING HERE. 

Mary's Family Room is open to the new Kitchen. I created a design plan to tie it in with the new look. I shared the plan for the Family Room on the blog, but if you missed it you can catch it by CLICKING HERE.

Our goal in this project was to tie this space in with the new Kitchen design. We gave her a fresh, bright, crisp, new look that is warm, welcoming and inviting. This new design is updated yet, timeless. The new look embraces her lovely vintage/antique pieces.

One of my favorite elements in the new room is the navy grasscloth wallpaper that was applied to the backs of the bookcase shelves. I also love the natural texture and warmth we brought to the room with the natural fiber roman shades, storage baskets in the shelves, and a great natural fiber area rug against the gorgeous, warm, wood floor stain.

Dramatic Makeover Reveal - Cozy Custom Bedroom Before and After

I currently have openings for new EDesign projects! Click here for info. 

Hi Friends! Recently, I've had several "after" photos or "reveal" photos sent to me from some of my amazing online design clients.  Today, I have an exciting set of after photos to share. My client, Tracy, came to me for a design plan for a dramatic master bedroom makeover. Tracy already had a lovely bedroom, but she was looking for a fresh new look, and a space filled with custom detail and charming character.  I shared the online design plan I created for her on the blog, but if you missed it you can catch it by CLICKING HERE.

 Here is a peek at the design board...

Behr can't wait to show you around his new space. I mean, his owners new space...

(Carpentry by Ballmer Builders, Floors by Yankee Hardwood Flooring, Custom Cabinetry by Your Custom Closets and Upholstery by Hutton's Upholstery.).

It's hard for me to pin point my favorite feature in this bedroom. 

It is a very large space, yet it feels intimate and cozy. 

Much of that has to do with the custom detail like the board and batten wall treatment that wraps the entire room and feels like a giant hug. 

The custom sliding barn doors stained in a dark rich finish that matches the new hardwood floors bring a ton of luxurious charm to the design. 

Speaking of custom, my client decided a dresser just wasn't going to give her the storage she wanted, so she commissioned a custom builtin until that filled the entire wall. It also provided her with an attractive display area for her special collectables and family photos. 

I had a new chair in the design plan, however Tracy already had a great piece that just needed a new fabric to give it a new life and a place in her master bedroom.

I  have to give a special nod to the custom upholstery job that was performed on this chair and ottoman set. The striped fabric used here for the new look required meticulous application and that is just what it received. 

Another detail I would like to point out is the power outlets and USB featured in the stunning custom headboard installed in this design. Not only does this space have a timeless aesthetic, but modern technology as well. 

Thank you to my client, Tracy, for giving me the opportunity to design for her through my Online Design Service. And, also for allowing me to share her transformation with you!

Dramatic Kitchen Makeover Reveal - Before and After

I currently have openings for new EDesign projects! Click here for info. 

Hi Friends! Recently, I've had several "after" photos or "reveal" photos sent to me from some of my amazing online design clients. I absolutely love receiving after photos that show the design I created for my client in place. I compare it to "having a baby" and finally getting to hold it. Lol. 

Today, I have an exciting set of after photos to share. My client, Mary, came to me for a design plan that included a dramatic kitchen makeover. Mary's project was a large remodel, she provided me with a space plan from her Builder/Contractor and I used it to create her custom online design plan. I shared the plan on the blog, but if you missed it you can catch it by CLICKING HERE.

Mary has a gorgeous two story Dutch Colonial home. She has beautiful antiques and collectables that we incorporated in her new spaces. The changes she made to her home update the look and give her a relevant, fresh, style while staying true to the homes cozy traditional roots.  

Mary loves her family. This new kitchen is now a large, open, space, yet still a warm and inviting, heart of her home. She's ready for all the family dinners!

A neutral color palette with injections of blue and red complement her Dutch Colonial Home Design. This palette also lends a nod towards some of her collectables, such as her fabulous vintage transferware dishes (you can see some of them peeking out from behind the glass cabinet doors). 

A bold graphic pattern used for the roman shade offers a youthful, stylish vibe while the gorgeous linen embroidery detail on the fabric keeps the look luxurious, classic and timeless. 

A gray island paint hue contrasts with the warm wood tone on the floors and stands out against the warm white cabinetry used throughout the space. 

Rich, dark, wood tones featured in the furniture pieces keeps this space feeling warm and inviting. 

Everything about this new look says "welcome home" to me.
