a la carte

a white sofa in a playroom? totally toddler appropriate when it's been reupholstered in sunbrella white.

this window wall went from white to textured and a work of art. we sourced a local artist to handpaint this "canvas" instead of going with wallpaper.

acrylic frames have a soft place in my heart. good pictures, a good local framer and an outstanding installer was all that was needed for this gallery wall. it looked so good that we made sure to leave room at the top so we could add more.

we took an outdated, cramped bathroom and turned it into a sophisticated kid's bathroom that any guest would love to use.

a cane front on vanity doors...yes, please.

one of my favorite things to help clients with is obtaining original art, whether we source it or have it commissioned by a local artist. many people are under the impression that original art is over-the-top expensive, but it doesn't have to be.

get creative with things that will weather well.

sometimes all a bedroom needs is fresh paint and fresh bedding.

new hardware can go a long way. these wardrobes completely changed their look when we added some marble and wood pulls.

grasscloth walls, a teeny wall-mounted sink and a handmade towel bar. this small space now packs a big punch.

go with classics.....subway tile and hexagon floors. you don't always need to reinvent the wheel.

an inexpensive slate in a heriingbone pattern is what we used to upgrade this laundry room. simple, yet very effective.

window treatments.....they can make or break a room. the example here includes bamboo blinds from Lowes (gasp!) and linen drapes from Ikea (gasp, gasp!). cute helper not included.
