Sometimes all your bathroom needs to be transformed is the right statement wallpaper. That was the case with this client in Portland, OR. Well she's not just any client she has been my best girlfriend since the 4th grade. She is fearless with style and color from her fashion design background. All I can take credit for in this room design is the statement wallpaper selection. She explained her vision to me for this powder bath. She wanted a bold colorful floral! She is the mother of two boys and she wanted this to be a little feminine corner of the home. This bathroom sit off of her fashion design studio and laundry room so it had to be fun and bold! I took a little drive to Los Angeles wallpaper heaven Astek Wallcovering. This place has everything under the sun for wallcovering. In fact I have contacted them to track down wallpaper from Pinterest photos before. They know their stuff and will find you anything. They had just received this wonderful floral book and I'm so glad they did because this wallpaper makes the room. That and all the other wonderful details she added like the "eye chart" artwork and subway tiles. Oh and if you look at the floor closely this was a custom pattern she designed with vinyl flooring tiles. The geo floor pattern really speak for itself. Here's a before and after to show you the full impact of being brave with your cosmetic interior selections.

Did you know that Decorator in a Box can help you with your outdoor project? I have been working with this client in Palos Verdes, Ca on a large outdoor design. We started with the fencing and rock decisions that the contractor needed asap. Now we have been going back and forth creating the ultimate grill master outdoor kitchen. This outdoor kitchen has it all and we need it to fit and function well. I have been creating several drawings to fit the Fire Magic Grill, Green Egg XL, Searing Station, Burner, Double Fridge, Garbage and let's not forget the storage. I think we have landed on something that will have both function and style. I will keep you posted on phase two of this project. Here is a little sneak peek for now. 
How is your outdoor space looking? Sometimes all you need are the right pots, outdoor pillows and chairs. Let me help you spruce things up for that graduation party this Summer. There is no job too small. Let's start your Decorator in a Box today!

This Front Porch design in Palos Verdes, California came together so beautifully. You may remember my post of the design back in March. Now this front porch is ready for some Summer fun! I can already see the parents enjoying a cocktail in the chairs while the kids tumble and play in the grass. Those blue pots full of succulents are even lovelier than I imagined. I'm a big fan of blue and white on a porch. It's timeless and classic. This is a great example of what a large impact a small area can have. After all this is the first impression of the home. I do believe it's saying welcome and relax. 
What is your Summer project? I would love to hear about it and create a custom quote and design to meet your specific needs. Let's start your Decorator in a Box today!

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! I'm popping in quick to share this before and after from a recent Decorator in a Box living room design. The mission was to create an inviting space to relax and be social in. Once I saw the clients Pinterest inspiration boards I ran with the design. I was so inspired by their romantic, glam and lounge vision for the space. It turned out even more glam that I imagined. The clients girlfriends have now named this the "She-Den". I love it!

What space can I help you create? Maybe your just stuck on one wall that needs art? Maybe your outdoor patio needs a Spring refresh? Whatever the project big or small I'm here to meet your design needs, style and budget. Let's start your Decorator in a Box today!

A lot of people don't know you can get my designs at an even more affordable consult price. At almost half the cost of a full service design I can provide you with the tips and ideas you need to update your space. That was the case with this client in Minneapolis. They felt confident in searching for the furniture art and accessories on their own. They just needed my scaled furniture plan and detailed design consult notes to get them headed in the right direction. I also provided them with style boards so they could envision the selections. Now they are off and running to shop for the items and I'm available to answer any questions along the way. 
Here is a little sneak peak of their consult. 

Tell me about your project. I will come up with a design game plan that meets your specific style and budget needs. Let's start your Decorator in a Box today!

Until you actually become a Decorator in a Box client you won't know how truly personal and custom your design is. After you receive your design that includes a detailed shopping list, furniture plan and vision boards the process doesn't stop there. I'm available via email throughout the process. That was the case with this family room design in New York. The initial design was a starting point. After the client took some time reviewing they requested a few more furniture options and ideas. We have been emailing back and forth making these updates and changes. Now we are getting to place that meets their needs for how they truly want to use the space. 
Let's start your custom Decorator in a Box today! I will be with you every step of the way. The best part is I will create a design that meets your style and most importantly budget.

It was such a pleasure to create a design for this Texas couples home away from home at the lake. This is the place they go to get out of hustle and bustle of Dallas and go chill lakeside. The mission was to design a custom kitchen island utilizing an existing bar table an butcher block. The island is the total boss of this lakehouse.  They entertain a large amount of family at this getaway. Seating a sleeping for many was key. The best part is they are DIYer's that can build almost anything. If I can envision it they will build it. The style of the home is mid-century modern so I  kept things modern, but added a slightly rustic lake vibe twist. I can already see the memories being made for years to come. Here's a little sneak peek. My detailed shopping list and more is saved for the client.

What is your project? Your busy let me help you with a custom Decorator in a Box to meet your budget and style. Let's start today!

 It has been such a pleasure to work with The Gables in Dallas! If you have never heard of The Gables they are a national company. They have apartment building's all over the country that are always in the best locations in the city. The rent is fairly priced for having these great locations.  Over the past year Decorator in a Box has been creating designs to update some of The Gables model units. This recent project is located right off of the Katy Trail in Dallas. The mission was to update the model to reflect the more modern style of the young professional who rent these units. It's amazing how the power of an updated model can keep your building rented and full. A lot of future tenants don't have the vision to see their furniture in a space. That is where Decorator in a Box steps in to create a design to help your future tenants visualize themselves living in that space. Property managers have enough to keep track of. Let a custom designed unit model take away some of that hard work.  Keep those renters coming and staying. 

Here is a sneak peek at this cost effective design. I utilized some of the old models existing furniture making the most of their budget. I can't wait to see how it all comes together!

"What if I don't like the design you create"? That is the question I always get asked when talking with a future client who has never used an online interior design service. With Decorator in a Box I will fine tune and tweak the design to get it to a place your happy with. Sometimes the first design is the first draft and we need to make revisions to get to the final. That is the case with this Living Room in New York. The initial design I created was too formal and now I'm making tweaks to get it just right. You can see the formal minimal style in the first floorplan. In the second plan you can see cozy sectional seating a even a play are for the kids. With this design process we will land on a place the client feels good about. 

Let's get your home to that happy place with a custom Decorator in a Box. I will create a  design to meet your budget, style and function.
