All In A Day’s Work

Do you wonder what we go through in a day on just one job site? On any given installation, we rearrange furniture, place existing accessories, hang artwork … just about anything to help the client settle in. Some jobs are completely finished while others continue to be a work in progress. Recently I have installed  several rooms in different clients’ homes that have made a huge difference.

Stay tuned to see the completed pictures of each of these homes  - there’s more to come.

Everyone Loves A Makeover

Have we really been working on this together for almost 30 years?

My client and I had a laugh over how time has flown and how trends have changed.  Considering an extensive (and overdue) makeover, we traveled from room to room as we inventoried each piece of furniture, recounting which year and which house each piece was purchased.  Sofa from the ’80′s.  Chairs from the ’90′s.  You get the idea.

A New Twist On A Classic House

I was delighted to get the call that a client of mine wanted to refresh some of the rooms in her house.  Fortunately, she has wonderful furniture pieces and wanted to reuse all of them.  We just needed an updated color scheme, fabrics and rugs.

In the living room, we decided to remove the oriental rug and replaced it with a textured sisal.  What a difference it made!  We chose a lighter wall color and more neutral fabrics with punches of color in small amounts.  The result – A totally different space.

The Sunroom Before…

Beside the living room is a sunroom.  We made big changes to this small space!

We traded the black walls and carpet for a much lighter palette.   New, comfy club chairs are the perfect spot for relaxing.  The vinyl upholstered ottomans add a punch of color while being a practical choice.  They are perfect when our clients want to kick up their feet and serve double-duty as seating when they have guests.

The Den Before…

The lightening and brightening continued in the den.  A few coats of paint on the wood paneled walls made a huge impact in this room.  A new sofa, beautifully embroidered pillows and fresh, new upholstery on her club chairs were just what this room needed.
