Recent Design Work.......

First, I must say THANK YOU for all the love you shared in the comments section both on my last post and Instagram.  It's always a bit scary to hit the publish button on posts like that - but I am sort of an open book kind of person and figure if I am going through something, someone else must be too.  Writing is something I really enjoy and don't do enough anymore - so it really felt good to pour my heart out in that way.

Moving on to what you come here for......I have been busy with so many clients over the summer.  I find it especially fun to work with longtime clients in different spaces in their homes over months and sometimes years.  Yes, lots of people don't decorate their homes all at once.  Budget and time often require the work to be spread out.  I consider it to be the best 'review' of my work when a client calls me after some time and asks me to help with a new project/space in their home.

 The first design is for a basement playroom/adult hangout space - a client who has their only TV in their basement so this is where adult may watch a movie and their two young kids play, do art and read.  The space had to be functional but aesthetically pleasing too.  I took into consideration the colorful toys that would be included in the space so tried to keep the space pretty neutral.

The second space is for a energetic, young, modern family who LOVE color!  The wife stated she wanted to walk in her home and feel j-o-y.  She also has a plant business so I took into consideration their would be lots of those in the space.  Because they have three young active boys, the clients didn't want to invest a lot into furniture but needed stylish pieces that would stand up to family life.  The rug tiles from FLOR make such a fun statement rug and definitely bring JOY to the space!

 Finally, I very recently worked on a bedroom for a 5th grade girl.  She has outgrown the bright colors that so many young tweens like and wants a space that can grow up with her as she will head to middle school in just one short year.  I LOVE the modern/feminine touches.

Fall is shaping up to be another busy design season - I am looking forward to sharing new projects more frequently on the blog.  And I am photographing some past projects for my portfolio so will post those as well.

Hope all your back-to-school days have been successful!
