This has been one of those weeks where I'm getting a lot of project completion photos from clients. It gives me such joy to see their Decorator in a Box come to life. That's when I know I have officially done my job. This condo is located in Mountain View, Ca which is Silicon Valley. It's a lovely home that just needed an update. The mission was to make this bathroom feel more like a Master should. I gave the client all the selections she needed to begin construction and work with her contractor. The white beveled subway tiles, hex marble floor, chrome fixture and glam mirrors achieved a much more upscale look. Here is a peek at the Before & After photos. Enjoy!

It's Labor Day Weekend! I hope you all are hitting the beach house or cabin! Speaking of beach houses I just received the after photos of this Westhampton guest bedroom design. Oh boy is it welcoming. In fact they may need to give their guests a friendly nudge to leave. Especially, since this room is just steps to the beach. Here is a look at the before and after photos. You can also see the vision board that was included in their Decorator in a Box. Have a great weekend all!

Bookcases are the most common area in the home for people to get stuck. What do you put on those shelves that are such a major focal point in the room? Let me help you with a custom diagram, shopping list and vision board. The diagram will show you shelf by shelf accessory placement. The shopping list will have all the selections you need to update your bookcase style. I will even re-use your existing books, frames and some accessories. The vision board will help you to see the overall finished look and style. Email me a photo of your bookcase or built-ins and I will send you a custom quote. Here is a little peek at a recent bookcase and fireplace wall accessory design. The shopping list details are saved for my client.  Let's start your custom Decorator in a Box today!

Never underestimate the power of accessories. I recently did a bathroom accessory selection for a lower level beach bath in Hamptons, NY. The client is not ready to do a remodel on the bathroom as they just completed an extensive Kitchen remodel. Instead they decided to spruce up this bathroom that gets a lot of use when everyone is coming in from the beach.  I simply sent them a detailed shopping list of  storage, lighting, window covering, and accessories to give this bath more of a fun beach vibe. At the time I was making these selection my client reminded me of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale going on. I made sure to shop for some items there per her suggestion. That's the great thing about Decorator in a Box I can shop at your favorite stores, especially when they happen to be running a great sale. This bath will work really nicely until they are ready to do a complete bath remodel just the way they want.
Do you have a room in your house that needs some accessory attention? Sometimes  all a room needs is new pillows or an artwork refresh. How about those bookshelves you don't know how to arrange? I can help. Let's start your custom Decorator in a Box today!

Summer isn't over yet! We still have plenty of time to enjoy lounging on the porch. I was delighted to help this family in New York do just that. I created a Decorator in a Box that finalized furniture and accessories on their screen in porch. These selections made the space more cozy and inviting. They already had a dining table set and just needed to complete the space. I showed them three different furniture layouts to help visualize how the furniture would fit. Their Pinterest boards helped me create a detailed shopping list of selections personal to their style. This family is now ready to enjoy the rest of Summer and Fall outdoors.

Happy weekend all! Here is a sneak peek at a recent design in Chicago on Michigan Ave. The mission was to give this condo a modern look while making the most of the open plan. With the right selection of furniture, art and accessories I was able to create a multi-use space. The warm light colors and textures make these industrial loft style spaces more inviting. This was important to the client and reflected in his Houzz inspiration boards. Now this space is ready for work, dining, lounging and entertaining. The Master Suite had a closet open to the room. I worked with a closet designer to create a more functional and eye pleasing concept to replace the white wire shelves. Here is a sneak peek at the ​board and furniture plans for the Great Room and Master Suite. The detailed shopping list and email consulting is saved for my clients.

I just mailed another Nursery design last week! One thing I could never get tired of is creating a space for these special little bundles.  The client inspiration was India Hicks and John Robshaw.  Just at the mention of those names I knew we had to have some fun with fabrics and textiles. I looked for anything with an Indian block print on it or worldly vibe. They had a celery green rocker they wanted to use, so I made sure to pull in some green. I finished off the look with the right art, lighting and accessories. This space is ready for Momma and baby girl to relax. I can't wait to see the after photos of this one. In the mean time here is a peek at the design boards. The clients also received a detailed shopping list and furniture plan in their box. Please keep the nursery designs coming!

It' s been another exciting week receiving client "after" photos! You may remember my Hamptons beach house kitchen remodel post in February. Well... the kitchen is now complete! This beach house has been one of my favorite ongoing projects. We started by making the most of the existing house with decor and furniture. They decided to take the plunge with a major kitchen remodel. I would say it was well worth it and the results are awesome. My favorite change is how you can now see the surrounding beach views this home has with larger windows. Before the views were hidden. Bravo to my client on another wonderful execution of their Decorator in a Box!

Some of you may remember my post about this room a few months ago. This is a return client located in beautiful Palos Verdes, California. The design mission was to create a shared bedroom for the brothers to make room for their little sister on the way. Creating storage for the boys was key. The storage bunk bed help to accomplish just that. Then for baby Sis I got to take things in a girly SoCal style direction. My favorite is the art on the crib wall and the vintage chalk painted dresser. I would say from the looks of it these brothers are now ready to welcome their newest member.  This will be a warm a calming space for baby and Mommy. A huge thanks to my client for sending photos this morning. Bravo on another flawless execution of their Decorator in a Box!
