BEFORE AND AFTER






On Friday I helped my friend Rose [ R Kipper Interiors ] with her install for a cute couple who moved here from California!  They bought this house a little over a year ago here in Atlanta and pretty much started a renovation to add a master bedroom, bath and closet.....turning it from a 3 bedroom/2 bath to a 4/3. 

Rose was hired to help get their 3 year old daughters play room together [which was their previous guest room] and outfit the small keeping area off the kitchen.  

I'm gonna start with the before shots so you can see what she selected and how it was used!

Like I said it was the guest room which got moved to the old master bedroom.....and that blanket was the inspiration for the colors!

We started with a gallery wall!

Rose found the large print at HomeGoods and then framed some of Savannah's prints to complete the  look.....





She found these acrylic bookcases on Amazon.


So let's break it down.  They ordered that adorable daybed from Article.  Rose found the rug on Overstock....I swear she is the queen of finding rugs online!  They had the coffee table [was previously in the keeping area]  which is a great for coloring and such.  No worries if it gets ruined right!

Pillows collected mostly from HG's.

We both decided it would be ideal to leave the cushion that came with it instead of covering it in cream....for 2 reasons.
  
1.  Cream would get very dirty!
2.  The rug has kinda of that color in it.



Baskets underneath the coffee table for easy cleanup. Of course there is a door to the room which can just be closed when company comes!  And another good thing.....Her room has a door that opens into this space!

On to the keeping area!
Before.....

It's hard to tell in the picture above because there is so much furniture but this space is small!  You can see the old coffee table we repurposed into the playroom.

But....that is why as designers we do measurements and floor plans right?  We want to give you a space that works for your family by maximizing the seating area and also not over accessorize with a 3 year old walking around:)

Before we got to that part the rug was rolled out and sofa delivered.  Also Rose softened the window area with some pretty sheers.


She found the rug at Rejuvenation and ordered this amazing console from Noir.

These poufs came from CB2 and will be great for extra seating plus safe for kids to run into as they are very light!


Love these prints from Shadow Catchers


As you can see in the photo below the TV will be mounted!  Also....newsflash that is a faux fig leaf  [World Market] in the corner.  Honestly....we all know how much $$ we have spent on the live ones which will eventually expire.....haha  #truth 




She had the table and lamp at the far end of the sofa so we used it!


This awesome sofa is from Charles Stewart Furniture Company covered in Crypton performance fabric.  I love a tight back sofa for the reason that it always look neat:)



All the pillows came from HomeGoods.  Which I might need to remind you is always a bargain because custom pillows....I'm not gonna lie.... are pretty darn expensive.

Another before shot




Chairs are from Article.

Right off the keeping area is the kitchen....
Before.....

Which got some new barstools and a little styling!

Barstools from Wisteria and they are very comfy!

Before


 Rose found the vintage art at a flea market...we are alike in the way that it's always nice when there is some patina in a room!

A coffee bar was created on the RHS  and the spices relocated to the LFS.  That cute rug is from Target!









 I had such a fun day without the pressure of it being my install:)


Of course the family room and kitchen was sporting all of my fav colors.  Cream, Tan and Black.  

Bingo.

Yay Rose.....job well done....especially with using some of the items she already had.

Hope y'all are having a great week.....

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE SPRING 2019 WEEK 2





Cue the DJ cause we are about to get this party started! 




Remember when I told you I was going to Highpoint....well that is where I am....trying to put together this weeks One Room Challenge post  

Here's the good thing.... this week is where I explain my inspiration and I have thought long and hard about these spaces....no I mean LONG AND HARD.

I think most of you were sure I would do black and white and I gotta tell you I was on the cusp....the very edge....of going that way and then I had a moment....I wanted you guys to be surprised with my room....I did not want to be predictable:)

So....drum roll.....guess what?

I am going beige and blue.....a la Mark Sikes!



Texture...for days!
Lot's of stripes.....

Vertical shiplap....
Camel....and white....

Floral.....

Sprinkled with.....

Blue!


So...OK....here's what is happening so far.


Floor plans....the above is a NO.

I don't particularly like to walk into the back of a sofa if I can help it!
  


This one is my fav.  This room really will not be used so it's just for looks...and it may not look like there is much seating but I will try to sprinkle a few stools around.....



I think this is a plan.....


The office got cleaned out...... and new seagrass was put down.  The old stuff had been there a very long time!


It's a concrete floor so it's glued down.  I need to figure out something for this space pronto!

The dining room is getting some love also....
Vertical shiplap and brown grasscloth. 
New fabric on the chair seats....
So....here are the boards I put together with some of the sponsored product, some stuff I have bought and some stuff I need! 
I still have no rug for the DR but I would like to use something like the above....



And the LR has the most love so far....which I will explain in full detail next Wednesday.....gotta keep you coming back for more right:)

I did find these....

Left over from my house when I took them down....so since she is my baby sister she is getting my hand me downs:)  Still.....

And this box of blue vases!

Yeah...they were in my basement....haha.

Are you surprised?  It's not black and white?

Yeah....you think you got my number but....NOT!

OK kids....that's it for this week.

Go check out everyone else!
