A Home from Top to Bottom

Over the Summer and Fall I spent four months working on an entire home project. My clients lost most of the furniture they had to the flood we had last Spring. They had over 2 inches of water in their entire home. They moved out of the flooded house and into this house with not much of anything but a check from insurance. This house is in Spring Valley and was a blast to decorate. The paint color we used throughout is Sherwin Williams Agreeable Gray. We kept the old homeowners blue paint in the dining room and play room. 

ENTRY BEFORE 


ENTRY AFTER

I had gray seagrass wallpaper hung in the entry which gives it a wow factor. The mirror is from Wisteria, the console (which I love) is from Layla Grace, the lamps are from Overstock and the flowers are from OKL. The light fixture is from Shades of Light. 




DINING BEFORE


DINING AFTER

They really wanted to use the table and chairs that were given to them by her father, so we just recovered the chairs. I had barn doors custom made by TBS Barn Doors since she really wanted to be able to close off the playroom if people were coming over. The chandelier is from Horchow, the candle sticks and basket on the table are from an antique dealer, and the runner is from Paisley House.



My client is very sentimental, so we hung her grandmothers china on one of the walls. 



PLAYROOM BEFORE


PLAYROOM AFTER

She didn't want to spend much money on this room so most of the stuff in here they already had, I just arranged it. I did by a bunch of inexpensive frames from HomeGoods to hang the kids' art in, and I had the pillows custom made. The lamp is from RH Baby. 



LIVING ROOM BEFORE





LIVING ROOM AFTER

The amazing modern rug is from Rug Mart. The sectional she found on Memorial Area Trading. The cute tufted ottoman is from Lamps Plus as are the lamps. We had the pillows custom made. The wicker trunk is from IKEA. The bench on the back wall is from an antique dealer, and the botanical prints, which she already had, are from RH Baby. I have used these on a couple of other jobs as they are beautiful and a great price. She didn't want anything on the windows to make sure it was light and bright in there. 



Everything on her mantle has an emotional meaning for them. I love that! Everything on the bookshelves was either from Paisley House, MAI, or things they already had. 


These chairs they already had, but had seen better days. We had them recovered and custom pillows made to match. The little round mirrored side table is Pottery Barn. 


This storage piece was from her Dad. She wanted something to store China in and this was perfect. I made the flower arrangement and the painting is from an antique dealer. 


MASTER BEFORE





MASTER AFTER

She wanted her bedroom to be peaceful and spa like. We wallpapered the accent wall with a seafood color seagrass. We used the headboard she already had which is perfect. The bench is from RH. The painting is from Paisley House, the lamps are from HomeGoods and the light fixture is from OKL. The bedding, which is gorgeous, is from Three Doors. The two maps above the bed are sentimental to them. I had them reframed to match at Michael's. The bedside tables are from Wisteria. 


She found these two chairs on Memorial Area Trading. We just got them recovered, and had pillows made to tie in the seafoam color. The table she already had, and she painted it herself. So proud of her! And, the lamp is from Paisley House. This is an adorable sitting area and a perfect place to do Bible study or have quiet time. 


NURSERY BEFORE 


NURSERY AFTER

Cute room for a one year old! The rug is from RH Baby, as is the tent and light fixture. We had the chair cushions recovered, and the leather pillow is from Pottery Barn. The crib and changing table she already had. What I didn't get a picture of is the huge world map that is hanging above the changing table.


TODDLER'S ROOM BEFORE


TODDLER'S ROOM AFTER

This room for a three year old is so sweet. The bedding is from PB Kids, the lamp and rug are RH, the bed was bought on Memorial Area Trading, and the nightstand was her dad's. 


 I loved this project from start to finish! 

West U Home Exterior Paint Job

Back in October I helped a client pick colors for an exterior paint face lift. The house is located in West University and is about 15 years old. It is just beautiful on the inside and the client wanted to feel the same about the exterior as she does about the interior. She wanted to lighten it up with a color in the white family, but she didn't have the time to actually pick out the color. Not to mention the thought of choosing a color stressed her out way too much. I don't blame her. Picking paint colors is HARD! 

BEFORE 


AFTER 

I gave her four different color combinations as options and we ended up going with Sherwin Williams Natural Choice for the brick and Functional Gray for the shutters, trim, front door, and garage door. 


What a transformation! It looks like a completely different house. It is gorgeous!
