Client Study Facelift

This client wanted some quick and easy updates to her current study to help brighten the room and make it a little more feminine.  Her only requests were to keep the paint color the same and the desk/shelving unit in the room.

We added:

• a gallery wall of eclectic frames
• new rug
• new seating area furniture pieces
• some new accessories while also incorporating some existing pieces handmade by her children
• new window treatment, installed higher to allow for more light in the room

And just because I know you love a good "before and after," here are the before pics...

We said goodbye to the traditional and dark rug!

We decluttered the shelves and updated the accessories to add more personal touches such as children's artwork and more modern pops of color.

DIY: Industrial Chic Side Table

In the midst of my pregnancy nesting and insomnia, I thought of this little gem while falling asleep one night.  The side table next to the reupholstered chair was the missing piece to the puzzle of Harrison's nursery.  Having worked for a plumbing company and being the daughter of a contractor, I knew galvanized pipe would give me the exact look I wanted.

Notice the highly appropriate notepad I sketched this on...

So the next morning, we all set out in search of the sizes we needed.  One trip to Ferguson, Lowe's and Home Depot gave us everything we Jeremy needed to execute my table!  Thankfully, my husband was psyched and could whip this up in an afternoon just based on my sketch!

Didn't he do an amazing job?  We used a piece of wood that already had a reclaimed vibe and stained it in an espresso color.  Jeremy was also able to stack two pieces together to give the surface a more substantial look.

I promise to get the entire nursery photographed soon... it is now my favorite room in the house!

 

Client Overhaul Complete

I have a confession; I feel like a blog-post hoarder.  I have been slacking on posting the work I have actually been doing because I have been that busy!  My business has truly been a blessing for our family over the past year.  It has allowed for me to pursue my professional dream of becoming an interior designer, a more flexible schedule, and more time to devote to our children.  I figured a day of being snowed in with two two-year-olds and an infant is the perfect time to catch up.  Who needs a nap when you are getting increments of sleep two hours at a time?

Remember the progess pictures I posted a while back on this client's home?  Well, here are the final snapshots after our install!  We were waiting on one console table when I took these, so I will try and make it back sometime so you can all see the true finished room!

And just a recap of the before pictures...so, what do you think?
