Winter is still very present out my window. Sitting at a poolside guest house in Scottsdale, AZ sounds pretty good right now. I had such a pleasure creating a Decorator in a Box for this newly remodeled guest house in Scottsdale. The guest home sits poolside and ready for the ultimate entertaining. The mission for this space was to create a look and function that had comfort and a touch of golf club style. The four TV screens on the wall and full size kitchen are Super Bowl and Masters ready. The color scheme was inspired by the clients existing aviator chairs. Which also pull in the warm canyon rust tones of Arizona. Here is a little sneak peek. I hope to show you photos once this project is complete very soon.

Many families are adjusting to make room for school to be at home. New York City knows about this adjustment very well. That was the case with this family I have worked with over the years. I have designed two apartments for them. I have also  revisited this shared child's bedroom a few times before. As the kids grow and needs change so must the design function. As you know New Yorkers need to make the most of their small spaces and have smart storage solutions. With the two kids now home doing e-learning they needed a bedroom that would meet those new needs.  By eliminating the wide bookcase I was able to incorporarte a workspace for each child. I added two new dressers and bookcase storage with this solution. I was also able to create a reading window seat with additional storage for toys. Now this space has multiple functions. It really makes the most of this unique situation many are faced with today. It's amazing what the right design can do to make life a little easier when new challenges arise.

I'm excited to share these before and after photos from this Decorator in a Box project in Lakeville, Minnesota. This is the third home I have worked on with this family. They are so fun because they are not afraid of a little DIY project or two. When I met with them they had a great vision already for the space. They shared their Pinterest inspiration boards and decisions that had already been made. It was important to work with pieces of furniture they had while mixing in some new pieces. By working together with their vision and mine we created a space that can truly be a forever home. See the full before and after photos below.

It's the small details that make your home feel like the holidays. One of my favorite new pieces in our home is this modular sofa table. It's a focal point in the room. Therefore, it had to get the holiday treatment. Here is what I did in four easy steps.

1. I swapped out our regular books with our holiday book collection. I made sure the beautiful cover of the Polar Express was on display. This is my favorite book since it was mine as a kid.

2. I mixed in pinecones (Target), snow globe (Target), felt trees (Target $3 section) and old nutcrackers (Dollar Store) to add holiday charm.

3. I switched out the Bob Dylan album for a more festive Bing Crosby.

4. Finally I finished off the look with tea lights in votives. Both the votives and the tea lights are from Target. 

Now this sofa table has all the Holiday style we need. Turn on the Bing Crosby and pour the eggnog!

This is our family command center. It's also where my daughter now does e-learning. It holds my office and my kids art supplies. I finally have photos in the frames and will show photos of this very soon. This space was created very affordably with mostly IKEA items.

This  space was designed for a quick workout, Netflix and chillin, informal eating and most importantly ping pong matches. It's the hangout after a long day at the beach.

When these two brothers had a little sister on the way we had to make the most of this shared bedroom. It's equipped for both boys and guest sleeping. There is also plenty of toy and book storage. We even made room for a school work station.

My favorite part of my job is helping a families home grow along with them. I get to transition their space in different phases of life. That has definitely been the case with this family in lovely Palos Verdes, California. When I started working with them they had two boys. Then little sister came along and I got to create a room for the boys to share. This made room for baby sisters nursery. Now little sis is ready for her big girl bed. The mission in this space was to create room for the new bed and use most of what was already in the space. It also needed to take her into the young teen years. I love how it came together. Here is a before and after of the room going from baby to big girl.

It was so fun to design this feminine space in Setauket, New York. I'm always thrilled when I get to use the color blush in a space. The mission was to take this bedroom from little girl to young lady. The gray, blush, white and gold color scheme take this space in a more sophisticated direction. The white really makes the space feel fresh. The textured rug, pillow, blanket and twinkle light curtains bring in that cozy vibe. Now this space is ready for school, work and relaxation.

Take me to this beach house! This would not be a bad place to keep a social distance. I just received photos from one of my favorite clients in New York. This is the last of the beach bedrooms I have designed for this getaway over the years. The mission was to create a bedroom for their college age son that could also function as a guest bedroom. My favorite part of this design is the layered rugs and wood accent table. It's details like that that are beachy, cozy and make big difference.
