A Change of Style

Posted by MAKMU ta On Monday, September 12, 2011

This beautiful bedroom now reflects the taste
of the woman of the house.

This client was new to the home, she married into family of 6
where her new husband had been a widower.
So, much of the style of the room was that of the
 previous lady of the house.


BEFORE
There was a lot in the room and we needed to trim it down.
Notice the heavy armoir on the side wall.


AFTER
We moved the heavy piece and created a grouping on the wall. 
 It feels much more to scale and quite warm and inviting.


BEFORE


AFTER
We found out as we tried moving the armoir that it was in three pieces.
Which was perfect, because now we could take the drawer sections
and use them in the closet as a dresser.


BEFORE


AFTER
The art grouping on the wall with the lamp
even out the space and help to create a warm inviting atmosphere.


The newly married couple now have space 
to hang some wedding photos.


Notice what a difference the curtains make.


Simple and clean decor.





BEFORE
A different view of the side of the room.
See how the mirrored piece was just to large for the space.


AFTER
The bookcase with the painting feels much better.


BEFORE
Notice the corner by the window.
The dresser that is there feels too tight for the space.


AFTER
See how the taller narrower cabinet works so much better.

Sooo... fun to see the transformation!

Hang a Few Things on the Wall

Posted by MAKMU ta On Monday, February 08, 2010

Well--- Moving is a BIG job!
I am finally beginning to crawl out of the boxes.
I will be posting pictures of my new place soon, but for now here are a few more photos from a client who downsized and moved to a new place.

When you move it does not start to feel like home until you can get a few things on the wall. It is so common to have pictures and art propped against the wall for months.


Your walls can be beautifully painted but feel blank.
Like this BEFORE shot.

Even if you take one or two pieces and hang them up ---

it will feel better!

AFTER
See... it really does make a difference. And this is just the hallway!

I am joining in
Met Monday over at Between Naps on the Porch.
Go and have a look.
