Chiang Mai living room

Over the last few days I have started working on a new living room project. Ashley contacted me for help with a few different rooms. When you first walk in the door, to the right is her living room. We are starting with it in hopes it will set the tone for the rest of the house.  It turns out she loves Schumacher's Chiang Mai as much as I do. Ashley is the only woman in the house- she lives with her husband and two sons. So the blue color way is the perfect compromise of all things feminine and masculine.

Here are some of the options we are starting with. Which is your favorite? 

Atlanta Magazine

I am so happy to share that I am featured in the April issue of Atlanta Magazine.  SO exciting!!!

Sneak Peek

I have been installing a few rooms at a house here in Decatur. Her style is really funky so this has been a fun project for me. Here are a few sneak peeks:

Before and After:

Before and After- Painting the ceiling purple really changed the room. The wallpaper is really fun too!

And the fun Peacock print fabric

 Breakfast room before and now:

And dining room wallpaper installed

Once I complete and style the rooms I'll share more!

Chattanooga

Work has been so hectic (and fun) for Caleb and I that last week we decided to drop everything and take a quick trip somewhere close. We packed up the girls and jumped in the car to Chattanooga. It wasn't anything fancy but it was a nice get away, and we realized our first trip as a family of four. Chattanooga is really a family centered town. The best part is that we stayed right in the middle of downtown and were able to hop on a free shuttle to take us anywhere we wanted to go. However, the weather was so beautiful we spent most of the time just walking around. The most simple things were the most fun for Mary Jennings and Lottie:

 Riding the shuttle

 Walk over the long Pedestrian bridge

 St. Patricks Day Parade

 First Carousel ride

Visiting the Choo Choo

 Sleeping in a big girl bed-in a hotel!

 Learning about Herringbone tile :)

 Ice Cream

 And just being together.

Living Space

So on to the living space. Here is the breakfast area:

At first we were working with her curtains. Hate to replace good things. But in this case they are just too dark for the area.  But to brighten it up, I came up with an easy fix and planned to paint it a bright blue or add a neutral grasscloth to make it feel better. In this picture you can see a close up of her fabric.

But, the more we talked I realized she is much more funky than her house led me to believe. And then we came up with this:

This breakfast area is open to the living area. Its a nice big space and I'm still working on a few things here. Which means we may have to edit the breakfast area because I want it to flow.

Office Update

Whew! January came and I hit the ground running. A few clients I finished up with-things we just couldn't complete before the holidays, and I have started on a few new projects. One I had to hit full speed. My client is a tennis coach and her season starts TODAY. So we had this month to get a house plan in order. We still have a few decisions to make but we are headed in the right direction.

Let's start with her office:

Requirements- storage, seat/sleep combo, cool desk

Here are the combos I came up with-She already picked one, but I'd love to hear your favorite!

 And here is our moodboard. The only thing we are switching out is the sofa-doing a grey one instead. Also, we plan to paint the ceiling purple and add a fun light.

Tomorrow I'll show you her living spaces!

My Kitchen

When I designed our house, my husband was only concerned with our kitchen. He is the cook after all. So I made it the most neutral room in the house. Definitely added a little fun in our breakfast area which is where the girls and I play while he cooks dinner. And you can see I have a splash of color in the windows. But it is time for a little more. Here is my kitchen now:

And soon my new stools will  be here:

Covered in this. CAN'T WAIT.
