Downtown Seattle redesign part 2
Part 2 of the Downtown Seattle Redesign!
The client's bedroom needed both form and function. You can see in the before photos, she already had a beautiful bed ensemble and headboard, so we used that as our jumping off point to pull the room together. We mixed in rustic wood finishes, an elegant chaise lounge, and cottage decor to create a cozy oasis for her to retreat to.
Here are few quick tips to create your own elegant retreat:
Layer on the pillows!
Ad a large mirror
Ad a cozy rug
Create a seating experience with either a chaise, chair, or small bench
Use your bedding as inspiration and find art and accessories that coordinate
Mix textures to create a layered look; in this case, velvet headboard, linen chaise, silk like rug, cotton bedding, and linen drapes
It doesn't take a whole lot to make a big impact!

Redesign ideas from a Seattle Condo.
I am excited to share a recently completed design project!
This fabulous client lives in an apartment in downtown Seattle, so our goal was to infuse color and style into an otherwise dark and beige space.
In her case all of the walls and ceiling were painted in the same dreary taupe color; it just sucked the life right out of the rooms.
She did not want to paint all of the walls or the ceiling, so we opted to choose a bright color from our palette and paint two accent walls. Doing this moves the eye around the room, and the fabulous lilac shade is the perfect complement to the taupe walls and wood floors. We then selected grey, navy blue, cream, and a touch a fern green to round out the palette.
Another key to the successful design was using bold patterns. If you are in a space that lacks a lot of light or architectural detail, bring life and detail in through bold color and pattern; we even installed an eclectic picture wall to highlight her friends and family. Everything was purchased on a budget from discount stores, and online sources like etsy and joss&main
The client shared with me "This is the first time I have a style!" And she truly does. Stay tuned for before and after pics of her bedroom.

Small Spaces design plans and ideas
I have been designing a lot of small spaces lately, so this week I would like to share my tips for decorating small spaces. One of my staples is using etageres, also known as open bookcases.
These versatile pieces of furniture provide an open airy approach to storage compared with a bulky bookcase or cabinet. They can be used in virtually any room of the house, and offer many storage and display options.
I love lining two or three along a wall to display treasures and hold boxes and baskets of essential items.
They are ingenious in a small office where space is a premium and provide a stylish touch to what is normally a utilitarian space.
They are also great flanking a TV, in many of our homes this is dead space and these open shelves provide great storage without taking up too much visual space.
And don't forget about the bathroom were you may not have very much floor space, but you can go vertical.
Etageres come in so many different materials and finishes to fit any budget. I am a sucker for vintage pieces, such as bamboo and 70's glam. If the finish is not what you want don't be afraid to take a can of spray paint to it You can find some great affordable used options at antique malls, estate sales, and on-line classifieds.
My favorite places to find budget friendly new ones are IKEA,
Pier 1, Work Market, and of course More Decor
