My clients from my posting “Fall!” moved to a beautiful new home. We worked together to place pieces that they already owned as well as adding some new pieces and accessories for a fresh look in their new home.

Main floor hallway looking into the living room.

The rug, vase and ginkgo art are previous purchases.

Living Room

We centered the sofa in front of the fireplace and layed a new cowhide rug over a sisal rug they had in storage. The sofa and chairs are purchases from the last house. New pillows add color and texture.

New vases and ginkgo branches add interest over the fireplace.

Next to the conversation area in the living room is the perfect reading area.

Reading area.

They already owned the side table and oversized chair and ottoman. We added a textured orange pillow and this wonderful bookshelf.

Kitchen/Dining Table.

My clients sanded their beautiful outdoor table and bench and we used them as the dining table. New leather chairs add more seating.

Tabletop.

New cork place mats, a banana leaf tray, textured balls and a seasonal leafy garland add interest.

Guest Bedroom/TV Room.

We bought a new coverlet, shams and decorative pillows to dress up the guest bed which also doubles as a comfortable place to watch TV.

A nice picture arrangement above the TV.

Powder Room.

Favorite black and white prints and a splash of colorful flowers dress up the powder room.

Halfway up the stairs was the perfect spot for a much loved rug, a comfortable ottoman and some family photos.

Master Bedroom.

A new canvas print of a favorite piece of art ties in with a pretty bowl and vases.

Master Bath.

A much loved print finds a new home in the master bath.

Orchid in the Master Bath.

A new orchid looks pretty and spa like in the master bath.

Monkey Bathmat in the Childrens' Bathroom.

This monkey bathmat that they already owned was the inspiration for the monkey themed bathroom.

Monkey Wall Decal.

A family friend found this cute monkey decal.

Forsythia branches.

Flowering branches are such a nice way to add color in winter. I love that they started out as branches with a few buds and now they have pretty yellow flowers and tiny green leaves.

My client wanted to make a few changes to his place. He had furniture and art and nice wall colors. The bathroom needed some help. It had an old sliding door shower stall, an old light fixture and mirror and a too small toilet tank cabinet. He needed a little more storage and a cleaner look. Here’s how this room turned out.

New lights & Mirror

New shower curtain & wall cabinets

Extra long towel bar!

My client originally consulted me because he was wondering if this armoire would fit in with his place. It did. We changed out a brightly patterned rug for this black rug.

The cabinet that started it all...

New rug, the box in the window adds display room for more photos and cards

In the Living Room, the sectional was a little crowded by the fireplace so we pulled it back and put the desk by the window. He wanted storage for logs and papers to make fires in the Fall and Winter, so I found these boxes that were the right size.

We pushed the sectional back and centered the artwork and then gave the wine refridgerator a new home as a side table.

We moved the desk from behind the sofa to in front of the window.

Textured boxes under the fireplace to store logs and paper.

We replaced the gold tone door handles with these nice brushed silver handles.
