House Edits

So here’s the story….

These past few months have been spent getting this little home ready for college visits and football weekends! What I didn’t know was that the inspiration for this home was going to create an unexpected escape from reality! I wanted a space that felt playful and collegiate, with boutique hotel vibes, perfect for visits to see our girl!
WE ARE!

So here’s the story…

Something new and fresh … our solution to the “it’s the living room, but we want to watch television” viewing dilemma… how about this custom art easal designed and created in collaboration with
Feeling like we all could use one of these!
Couldn’t be happier with how this idea panned out and excited to share the full transformation!

So here’s the story …

My clients live in a beautiful, traditional stone center hall colonial (the kind you oooohhh and aahhhh over when you drive past it).
I was tasked with redefining the living room from formal to fun. They envisioned an adult space where they could enjoy music, host friends by the fire and enjoy a drink. Dark and moody was the main idea.
Working around the beautiful grand piano, we started with a floor plan that allows for cozy conversations, with the fireplace as the focal point. We balanced the height of the piano on one side with the extra tall wing chairs mirroring the height on the other side. We added in a stunning marble disk chandelier to contrast with the deep blue wallpaper, and gloss finished millwork (notice we didn’t forget to address the 5th ceiling!) Sleek picture lighting highlights a gallery wall of their family history and the built in bookcases now showcase their beloved treasures they’ve collected over the years in a curated way.

There is nothing more rewarding for me than to create spaces that bring joy and celebrate the way people want to live life in their homes.
