Quick change with paint and new accessories

I love what I do because there are always dramatic changes that takes place.
Sometimes it's big things like totally gutting a master bathroom or kitchen.  Other times it is small changes like paint and accessories that can make a huge impact to any space!  I'm working with a client right now and we are slowly updating rooms.  It's a work in progress and it is making some drastic changes to their home.  We started with painting this beautiful living room.  Now I'm accessory shopping and "using what they have" as well as adding items like rugs, lamps, pillows, pictures, drapes, plantation shutters, etc. 

BEFORE PAINTING


AFTER PAINTING

Now these columns have some grandeur and welcome you into their home.  Before they looked so formal.  Now they look classy and add so much more character to this room.  NOTICE that we painted the ceiling the same color as the walls.  The crown molding matches the columns. 

Crown molding can make a room.  Scan up to the before picture, do you see the crown molding?  Nope!  Now look a the after, see what a difference it made!  It's the eyebrow of the room!

This rug is gorgeous and pulls out the wonderful blue color that we put on the walls.


Having drapes made with these fabrics.

This chair just looks so formal and stiff. I purchased the below pillow and it will make it so much more comfortable and casual.

Love this pattern.

Lampshades create the mood in the room!

Pillow for couch.  Using some of the existing ones but updating with pillows that coordinate with wall color.

You've got to have some solid color pillows to break up the patterns.

This lamp is for their dining room.  Love it!  It will marry the two rooms together.

I'll keep you posted with the progress!

  5. Absolutely gorgeous! I love how stately, warm and inviting the boldness of the columns made the room. Your fabric swatches are beautiful. I'm very fond of lamps and have to agree they add to a room. I enjoyed seeing your work, looking forward to more.
