A client of mine just dropped off this monstrosity and asked that I paint it brown. She must think I am a miracle worker!! This piece of furniture was in really bad condition and took a lot of work; many, many hours of sticker removal, wood filler and sanding. It turned out really cute, not [...]

My boyfriend just had new tile installed in the bathroom at his place and it inspired him to decorate and fix up the rest of the bathroom. He and I went to Target and for less than $150 I think we transformed his yucky bathroom and really spruced it up. We picked out two new [...]

This guest bath was recently remodeled and updated with all new fixtures, tile, molding and a fresh coat of paint. When I showed up it was just an empty bath waiting for the finishing touches. The home is located in a beach town and the homeowner wanted a coastal theme, so we accessorized the [...]

I enjoy every aspect of design work; whether it is helping a client pick out a paint color, going shopping with them to find new furniture or picking out fabrics for curtains.  I love re-arranging furniture over and over again until I get it just right. Placing artwork and accessories is [...]

Yesterday I met with a design client for our initial consultation. I took pictures and measurements of the rooms in his house that I will be working on. We discussed colors he likes, fabrics, rugs and the specific look he is going for. His home was built in the early 1900’s and is a Spanish [...]

In my on going master bedroom series I started with the original post titled “The Master Bedroom is my Current Project.” In this post I discussed all of the design ideas I had for my master bedroom and set out to tackle each one of them.  I needed some additional lighting and as shown in [...]
