Southern Hospitality

With each decorating challenge I try to think, “what traits does my client exemplify, and how can their home display their personality?”

When my client and long-time friend asked me to spruce up her home, her reputation for overflowing hospitality immediately came to mind.

The Ultimate Upgrade

When my client approached me about renovating their basement, we had to make a few important decisions. What is the ultimate purpose of the room? Knowing what furniture would be used was the determining factor in their decision. My client wanted to incorporate their existing pool table, an antique pinball machine and one, possibly two, poker tables. The intended results: the Ultimate Man Cave – upgraded!

What’s In Your Backyard?

This was my garage.  You know the kind.  The ones that have never held a car – only the junk that accumulates (and multiplies) over time.  Boxes of nothing important.  Poorly organized yard equipment and a variety of weekend warrior supplies.  Always daydreaming, always in search of another never-to-be-completed project, I would stare at the beamed ceiling, old brick walls, proximity to the patio and think…this space was way too cool to waste on paint cans.
