I had the recent pleasure of working on multiple spaces for a client who was looking for a style that I really enjoy. For their living room I suggested a clean slightly dressier look with greys and linens and to carry the feeling through into their family room we toned down the formality for a comfortable family space that will be used every day.
In the larger family room I suggested paneling on the large open wall opposite the fire place and seating with artwork to add some weight. It was a fun space to create.
I am always so amazed by how much fun it is to create a space for a family that they can use and the best part is getting to know my clients.

My wonderful client Amy has given me the opportunity to work with her on another room in her home. I am so excited! There is a slightly feminine touch to the space with the splash of pink. Amy has some great existing pieces that are helping to shape the direction of her space as well as some really beautiful architectural details.
We have made some changes to her room along the way here in the design process that I think really made the design better. That is one of the great things about designing for homeowners, I think that their needs and wants make the space easier, instead of having complete free reign. I find that the more guidelines a space has can definitely make designing a little more challenging, but it also helps to narrow the search. It is so much easier to design when you know what someone is looking for. The more information a client can give about what they want and how they are going to use the space the better.
I am loving the way that this is progressing!

This is a fun little project for a client.
She was looking for something in grey and gold which is one of my all time favorite color combinations! She wanted a space to entertain and spend time with friends so I made some smaller conversation areas within the space which can easily be moved and changed as needed. We used some great artwork to balance the wall behind the sofa that she already had and worked in some existing pieces to create a great look.
I love the style that she was looking for and was very happy with the way it came out.

This is a project that I have been working on with a group of monochromatic fabrics for a customer, in this grouping you can see how important the texture will be to add some interest to her space.
I am really loving it!

This is a little bath refresher that I have been working on for a client and her son.
Very fun and simple and I think the younger peep's will like it too!

I wanted to share a project that I have been working on with you..
This is a fun space that is a little different and will be full of activity! I had the great opportunity to
mix in some vintage and modern pieces and cannot wait to see how it all comes out.
It is always so nice to work with wonderfully creative clients
who bring all kinds of ideas to the table!

Another fun project underway! It has been great to work with so many of you on your homes and working with Kathryn has been no different!
She practically gave me free rein to design her room which can sometimes make it even harder! I am so excited about her choices and the space is going to look so great.
We did a couple of different layouts to figure out what would work best. It is always nice to see how different things work in the space and what is prefered.
Kathryn went with the second layout- love it!

I fell in love with this space in the recent show house from Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles.
I even used it for lifestyle inspiration for a client and in doing so I was trying without much luck to find the source for the chair pictured in the room.
Well- found it- Barbara Barry for McGuire of course!
Love Love it! But I always love their chairs!
