BEFORE AND AFTER: GLENCOVE DINING ROOM SNEAK PEAK

STILL WORKING ON THIS GORGEOUS DINING ROOM…...BUT COULD NOT RESIST SHOWING SOME EARLY PICS!
….HERE IS WHERE WE STARTED…..WE GOT THIS BEAUTIFUL LANTERN TO GO OVER THE TABLE AND HAVE AN ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS SIDEBOARD FROM MY CUSTOMER'S COLLECTION THAT WILL ALSO GO IN THE ROOM.
THIS IS THE HOMEOWNER'S EVERYDAY EATING AREA AND THEY HAVE TWO ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE YOUNG KIDS….WE NEED FORGIVING FABRICS……VERY FORGIVING! AND A NOT SO FORMAL LOOKING DINING ROOM…BUT DRESSY ENOUGH FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS.


OUR ANSWER TO FINDING THE MOST FORGIVING FABRIC OPTION? 
LAMINATING, OF COURSE! 
I THINK THE MATTE SHEEN ADDS TO TREMENDOUSLY TO THE LOOK. 
LOVE!
HOSTESS CHAIRS AGAINST THE WALL TO LOOK PRETTY BUT ALSO SERVE AS ADDITIONAL SEATING WHEN NEEDED. AND THE GREEN IS THE PERFECT POP OF COLOR TO COMPLIMENT THE HOMEOWNERS ART COLLECTION THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE.


AND A SNEAK PEAK OF WHATS HAPPENING IN THE FOYER…..

THE BIG PICTURE SOON TO COME!

BEFORE AND AFTER: KENSINGTON LIVING ROOM

I WAS PSYCHED WHEN ONE OF MY BEST FRIENDS ASKED ME TO HELP REDO HER LIVING ROOM. SHE HAD SOME HAND-ME-DOWN UPHOLSTERY THAT SHE WAS READY TO PART WITH. 
THE WANTS?
 1)TO MAXIMIZE SEATING IN THIS SMALL SPACE
2)CREATE A LIGHT AND AIRY PALETE AROUND A RECENT PAINTING PURCHASE
3)MAKE SPACE FOR A TV
4)MAKE IT COZY AND COMFORTABLE!!!
 HERE ARE SOME BEFORES….

 
AND THE AFTERS...
WE ADDED DOUBLE WIDTH PANELS TO MAKE THE WINDOW APPEAR MUCH LARGER THAN IT IS.
A GLASS TOP COFFEE TABLE KEPT THE AREA LIGHT…AND THE ROUND SHAPE IS THE MOST TRAFFIC SENSIBLE IN A SMALL SPACE.

DITCHLEY ROAD DRAPERY CLOSE UP

i had a puppy fiasco i had to tend to yesterday morning so my time at this drapery installation was limited!! and these pics of from my phone (not doing them justice!) but i LOVE how they turned out! i'll post better pics when i get back with my good camera!
this is a casual dining area…so the updated greek key in jute was absolutely the perfect trim…and the linen panels give a sophisticated elegance in a "low key" way. we have seagrass on the floor….why did i forgot my good camera-UGH!

BEFORE AND AFTER: SYLVAN DAUGHTER'S ROOM

how cool is it to come home to this bedroom? this college girl knows!
 her mom wanted a pretty bedroom that her daughter would enjoy when home from school….but she also wanted a bedroom that could potentially transition into a guest room down the road. so not too girly, but a cool, casual, stylish vibe that could stand the test of time.
what did we do?
we added a rug, window treatments, and new pillows for the home owner's existing bed and club chair.
here's the before…...

and the after!!
