E-Design Client: Entryway

 Everyone loves a good before and after!  Here is an e-design I did for a client that was looking to add a cabinet with some storage to her entryway.  She simply wanted to add furniture and artwork without changing any of the paint colors.  It always helps when you are starting with a beautiful space!

She wanted a calm, soft entryway and we came up with the design below.  A cabinet that would provide some storage and a really soft abstract painting.

And here's what the entryway looks like today! A few small changes made a big impact!

Guest Bedroom: After

Yesterday I shared with you my inspiration photos and my "before" photos of our guest room.   If you missed it- here they are in all their glory...

And now for the fun part... here's what our guest bedroom looks like today!

First the walls got a fresh coat of paint with Benjamin Moore's Manchester Tan (HC-81).

I spent one day of marathon shopping at Target and Homegoods and was able to find everything I needed!

Fresh white linens makes the space feel clean and inviting.

I was able to give this room a total makeover in just one weekend and for under $600!  I still want to add some artwork to the walls and find a spot for my sewing table but in the mean time this room is ready for guests!

Living Room Before & After

I'm constantly working on our living room but I wanted to show you guys what it looked like when we first moved in and what it looks like today.  Your home doesn't have to be a final complete product- it can be evolving, changing and developing.

Here is a picture from the online listing of our living room.  The bottom of the chair rail is a rosey-beige and the top is a light green.  Not horrible- but it really wasn't my style. (note-this was the previous owners furniture)

What I really wanted was to do a panel wainscoting below the chair rail but that can be expensive and wasn't in the budget at the time so I faked it!

I painted above the chair rail Benjamin Moore- Chelsea Gray in a flat paint.  I painted below the chair rail Benjamin Moore- Dune White in a Semi-Gloss to give the illusion that there was wainscoting.  It's certainly not the same as paneled wainscoting but it does the trick for now!
