BEFORE AND AFTER BASEMENT

So I was just looking back at my post and realized that I do have some good stuff to share!  It's hard for me to remember what I have posted and I haven't :)

Somebody recommended me to this client and what a gem she has been....So sweet and so trusting!  I have had the best time working on a few rooms in her home.

I did her office, powder bath and guest room which I will share soon but we have been working on the basement for a while.

There was some construction to be done so we did that first and then added some paint and wallpaper.

This was the first area we tackled...just some unused space that needed a purpose!  I purposed a cabinet with a fridge and pullout trash can.  A countertop and a shelf.....

It turned out great and will be very useful when they are entertaining and of course with young 3 kids it will be a good place to house snacks!  I had the walls painted SW Pewter Green and the cabinet painted a lighter color BM Duxbury Gray

Here is what the space looked like before paint and wallpaper....Again with walls SW Pewter Green and the cabinet BM Duxbury Gray.  There was a-lot of thought that went into these paint colors....I went back and forth between the lighter on the walls and darker on the cabinets but in the end I was afraid that the lighter color was just too light for the walls!

I am glad I listened to my gut!

Above is the color and a slice of the wallpaper!

 

Also if you scroll back up you will see that there are 3 cabinet doors so we filled in the holes and added edge pulls.  That way it doesn't look funny with 2 knobs on one side and one on the other!

This room is so warm and cozy now!

With this space we added a table and chairs...

from Crate and Barrel.

Below there was this dead space so after some thought I found this cabinet to add height.

Can't wait to accessorize this and the whole room!

All of the furniture has arrived except for the coffee table and rug so we are close to putting the finishing touches in place!

I have been shopping and collecting things for a month now and my LR looks like a flea market:)

Of course my favorite part is bringing the room together and making it cozy....I can't wait!

BEFORE AND AFTER

Well here it is Friday and I think my week skipped Tuesday :)  

I knew I was going to have another little fun before and after for ya today so I just wasn't motivated to to a post when I felt like it was going to be a snooze.  I realize many of you take the time to cruise over here and I wanna make sure you get a little bang!

So things are full circle here at Sherry Hart Designs. Now.....my long time clients children are grown and they are calling me to help them with their first apartments!

I can hardly say no and with Hannah I had done her bedroom when she was a little girl:)

So let's take a look at the changes.  First of all I only bought one small piece of furniture.....she already had been living there a few months but it just needed to be pulled together!

Rose and I came to the rescue.....

Here is the bedroom....which as you can see just needed a little help being pulled together.

Just a few accessories.....Target vase.

Before....

After....

She had the art hung and I bought a pillow and throw!

I just pulled a few colors out of the rug.....

Before......

We hung the art for her and just added a few small accessories!

Ta Da....

You can see it did not take much!

Moving into the living area.....

Let's break it down....new pillows, larger lamp shade and just a few accessories.

Pillows came from Crate and Barrel and West Elm

Before.....

After....

Before.....

After.....

And....the kitchen!

We only had about 3 hours to do this and I think we spend 2 hours on these shelves.....haha

Then we totally had to scurry.....

I found the art at Target and then just some greenery....she had everything else so we just shopped her place....

She had bought this shelve from Ballard Designs to serve as a bar area.....when we were there we told her where to hang it.

Honestly I think we only bought the faux plant from Target....the small bowl from HomeGoods.

The art and that's it!

Here are a few shots of the kitchen shelves....

Before.....

After....

We bought the small art and faux plant from Target....the vase from Crate and Barrel and the rug and blue vase from Homegoods.....

The rest was just styling:)

In the foyer I had her Mom make some prints to put in frames from HomeGoods...and we moved the rug that was previously in front of the kitchen sink.

Before....

After.

Before....she really needed a drop station for keys etc.

Everything we found at HG's was too short....but then Rose found this cabinet at Ikea!  The small mirror and lamp came from HG's.

So funny cause I had her Mom pick it up and when she and her husband opened the box they got overwhelmed [welcome to my world]!  They actually  called TaskRabbit to put it together and she said they were great....

 And that's it!  

Getting the sweetest text from her that evening made it all worth it!  I have to say that the main reason I am in design is that I love when people are happy with their spaces.....it's the best.

Have a great weekend y'all....
