Cuban Design Project

Last week we finished up a six month labor of love for some amazing clients!! They love traveling to Cuba, so we coined our design "Cuban Nights" to be inspired by the deep, rich, colors of Cuban culture and cozy entertaining lifestyle. Some before photos are sprinkled in, you wont believe the transformation! To achieve this amazing result, we implemented this process; developed the design concept, created floor plans and incorporated some of what they already owned, developed the color palette, painted, framed personal photos, sourced and installed furniture and rugs, sourced and installed lighting, art, and decor, made pillows, upholstered chairs, assembled furniture, hung drapes, and styled it all!! A den, office, family room, and master bedroom coming up in tomorrow's post!

Creating Design Solutions

Today was about creating design solutions for this very style specific room. We loved the pink, black, and white palette we were given to work with,💖🖤💖 and so decided to add the black desk, white chair, complimentary decor, and carefully curated items with lines and angles to mimic the checkered floor; this solution helped it make sense and flow with the rest of the contemporary house 😊

Custom and Timeless Kitchen

TBT to a year ago when we designed this kitchen for a client, creating a custom look designed for their personal style and budget. We don't just follow the trends, we focus on classic quality materials, finishes, and construction, incorporating and surpassing their deepest desires and expectations!! No white shaker cabinets or subway tile here!! 😉

Home office and a guest bedroom

Second bedrooms in small multi-level houses are critical in this tight real estate market, buyers want to see the potential of this valuable square footage. In this four story town home, we showed it as a bedroom/office so the buyer can see how they can have a roommate or use it as a home-based business office since it is on the first floor right off the entry; it's all about options, options, options!!

Design with Vignettes

Vignettes like this help a staged property feel warm and inviting. This effect is achieved through layering and repeating elements, mixing vintage with new, and sprinkling in a bit of nature 🌿🌿🌿

Staging around a TV

Ideally this oversized TV should have been removed before putting the house on the market, but when you show up to stage and it's still there, you make-it-work!! Luckily the sofa we had already chosen was dark so it helps give equal weight to the other side of the room, then the striking colorful art helps to shift the focus away from the TV, helping the space feel balanced and inviting 😊

Easter Sunday Art Find

My Easter Sunday find! Fell in love with this piece thrifted from goodwill today! Looks like a print of an original work where cloth and fabric is cut out to create the shapes. Any artists out there familiar with something like this? The colors match my decor perfectly, I think I will hang it in my office 😍

Non Matching Furniture Can look Great

Completed staging in Roy this evening!! This one is the perfect example of a tip I teach my clients, using unique individual pieces of furniture ads so much more interest and character to a space than a matching furniture set purchased off a showroom floor.
