Hi there! Spring has sprung and I am so excited that the days are longer and it's getting warmer! Woo hoo!

I wanted to share a fun little update that we did as part of the recent living room reveal project that I shared with you. Click here if you missed it.

My client had a chair that had been passed down in her family that she wanted included in the new design. During the design process, we lovingly named it 'the funky chair'. Here's a pic of it before:

I loved the lines of the chair and knew it would fit well in our design scheme as we were adding some vintage and retro pieces into the mix. All we needed to do was have the chair refinished in a rich tobacco color and reupholstered in a new fabric. We came up with a plan to include it in the design as a 'reading' chair positioned near the piano in front of a large window.

We selected this fabric from Robert Allen called Basket Beat in Denim for the chair:

Modern concrete accent tables and a vintage zebra found at a local antique shop rounded out the eclectic vibe that we were looking for....

I love how the concrete tables add a sleek background to the vintage books.

By changing the finish and the fabric, we were able to integrate the funky chair into this modern mix!

If you have a sentimental piece of furniture - reupholstery and refinishing can give it new life for your space! I hope this inspired you!

Interior Design: Before & After Bathroom Remodel

My clients have two young daughters and needed this bathroom to more efficient with storage and space. They wanted a timeless design in their 100 year old home that would transition with the girls as they grow from playing in the bathtub as toddlers, to maximizing space needed for makeup, hairdryers, etc as they become teenagers.

Interior Design, Art and Retail Therapy

Art is a big focus for me and especially, original art. My home is filled with art that I’ve collected over the years and I’m constantly rotating pieces around my house! Art makes a room!

Interior Design: Before and After Dining Room

There is nothing like spending time in a happy and bright space that brings joy. This family loves to use their dining room for weekly ‘family game nights’ and theme parties as well as hosting their friends for dinner. I’m excited to share the details of the transformation!

Interior Design: A Pretty Place for Reading

In this project, in Orinda, Ca., I was tasked with coming up with a design solution for a landing space at the top of a stairwell. It was a space that was too small for a loveseat and chairs, and too big and open to use as a home office.
