Is It Real…Or Is It A Magazine?

We all have our favorites: Veranda, House Beautiful, Traditional Home.  That gift to myself that arrives once a month.  I can’t wait to curl up with my coffee and pour over every photo.  Perfect rooms full of beautiful things, owned by (we can only assume) beautiful people.

A Happy Beach Place – Expanding for a Growing Family

My clients decided to update their beach house sitting room for their expanding family by adding a new bathroom off this room and a sofa bed for their grandchildren to sleep.  Painting the stained walls and cabinets along with the lively new color scheme changed the look of the room.  We covered the sofa in Sunbrella fabric so that it will withstand the fun times their grandbabies will have in this room.  It’s a happy space to be in now!

The before…

The after…

The French doors were moved over to accommodate the door to the new bath.  The wainscoting ties in with the painted wood panelled walls in the sitting room.

Between the new sofa bed in the sitting room and the four bunk beds in a nearby bedroom, all the grandchildren have a place of their own!

Lights! Camera! Transformation!

In my clients’ basement, it was time to make a transformation from a teenage recreation room to a media man cave! They made a few permanent changes – mainly building a new bar and altering the existing bookcases to house a new, larger television.
