Long Narrow Multipurpose Living Space

*For info on my online design service, please click here. I currently have openings for new projects!  

Hi Friends! Back in the studio today and reflecting on this project I completed for an online design client a few weeks ago. The room I designed for her is a very large living room/family room/hearth room combination. It was a long and narrow space with a large fireplace dividing the family room area and the living room area. I had so much fun creating a design plan that gave her the solutions she was looking for in terms of creating the best furniture layout and selecting the perfect furniture pieces to make sure each space was balanced, functional, and cozy. 

After consulting with her, viewing photos of her space & current furniture and reviewing the measurements she provided, I got to work creating her custom design plan. 

Here is what I designed....

Fun and Dramatic Powder Room Makeover with Wall Paper

*For info on my online design service, please click here. I currently have openings for new projects!  

Happy Friday Everyone! I can't wait to share this fun Bathroom Makeover with you. When my client came to me for a design plan to update her powder room, one of the main things she mentioned that she wanted to do was eliminate a stand up shower that the family rarely used.  

Here is what the space looked like...

After her contractor removed the shower and drain, the fun redesign of the aesthetic part of the space began! Slate floors set the tone for a cool new look. I suggested the white board and batten wall treatment to give the space charm and character. 

The adorable wood vanity that we used to replace the pedestal sink brought in a slight rustic vibe while the sleek countertop, modern faucet, and fabulous light selection kept the mood in this room upscale. 

Removing the shower created a fun open corner for a small chair and some wall hooks that are perfect additions to this bathroom. This space is often used as a dressing room while the family and their friends are enjoying the swimming pool. 

Hands down my favorite part of this makeover is the fabulous wallpaper! This was such a fun space to design with my client! 

 

Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for more exciting before and afters!

Locker Room Inspired Bathroom Reveal

*For info on my online design service, please click here. I currently have openings for new projects! 

I'm really excited to share this Locker Room Inspired Kids Bathroom I designed for a family through my online design service. Their home was undergoing renovations which included adding on a bathroom for their two young boys. I created a fun and unique design to grow with them as they transition from little boys into their teen years. The materials that I selected for this space were budget friendly, but you'd never know it! Since this space was added on to the home from the ground up, we designed it using the Builders Plans. Therefore, there are not any "Before" photos to share. 

Check it out...

Here's a look at the design plan that I created and my client's used to achieve this fun and unique space...

Thank you for stopping by today. Stay tuned for more room reveals coming up!

Stunning Family Room Makeover - Oak, Gray and White

 *For info on my online design service, please click here. I currently have openings for new projects! 

Happy Monday! I love to start the week off by sharing how one of my online design plans came to life! Last week, I shared a dramatic kitchen transformation, today, I'm sharing the very dramatic transformation of the family room located inside the same home. Take a look...

Here is a look at what the space looked like before the transformation was complete...

When I began my consultation with my client, she provided me with the amazing renovation plans for this home. My part in this transformation was to make selections and recommendations for the aesthetic elements of the makeover (furniture, finishes, paint colors, decor, etc). The structural elements and changes to the footprint of the home were created and provided by the Builder and the Client. 

You will notice that this space had a corner fireplace that was removed and relocated to the main wall. It was flanked by new windows that allow natural light to pour into the space! The fireplace was turned into a stunning focal point with a custom mirrored cabinet installed above the mantle which houses the TV in a stylish way.  

Here is a look at the design plan that I created for my client to follow to finish off her newly renovated space...

I'm excited to share the rest of this home renovation project with you. Stay tuned for more room reveals!
