Tranquil Master Bath Retreat

Tranquil, spa, retreat... are all words that could describe this master bath...
after
 We were able to modify and refinish existing cabinetry. The upper towers were removed and the cabinets were were refinished in white. Saving the shower walls and floor from demo was a nice savings to the client and the material is absolutely gorgeous with the new bathroom tiles. A beautiful slipper tub surrounded by a accent tile "rug" is showcased when you enter the room.  The etched glass panel was replaced with a simple rain glass.

Blessed & Thankful

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Kingon family's mission trip to Haiti!  It was a huge success and it really made a difference.  As he shared his photos with me, I was reminded to spend more time giving thanks, esp. for the "little things" like my tiny dated bathroom 😉.

Amazing Kitchen Remodel

Another recently completed remodeling project that we did with Kingon Homes.  Before, the kitchen was dark, dated, and closed off and in desperate need of a redesign.  We opened up the space, dropped the ceiling and added a tray ceiling and more lighting.  The wood floor adds warmth to the space. Really this is a breathtaking transformation. We are every bit as thrilled as the clients...

Recent Project- Updating the Entertainment Wall

Before...
After...
By tearing out the old built-in, 2 feet of floor space were gained!!! The extra two feet of space really opened up the sitting area and the room now accommodates two sofas and two swivel chairs. Before, the room was cramped and felt half as large with less furniture.
The color palette was updated to whites, creams, beige and grays with punches of blues and coral.
We are so pleased with the way this project turned out it! Moving on to the living room next- watch for it in another post in the coming months...

Interior Designers = Money & Time Savings

Our industry, along with the rest of the world, has gone through some major changes over the last several years. The Recession changed the way we all spend and shop. Today, we are all thinking globally. We want to minimize our footprints. We want to leave something for our grandchildren. We are smarter shoppers than ever before. The world is at our fingertips and we can comparison shop and pin all night.

Does the ability to find anything yourself decrease the importance of a good interior designer? No, a good designer should help you navigate your project and help you stick to a budget and guide you on where to invest more and what can be sacrificed without devaluing the whole. A good designer will help you weigh the pros and cons of any upgrades. Not to mention should you or shouldn't you on that ultra high end item...

Most people who hire an interior designer are people who know what they want, have discerning tastes, but are busy and know the value of hiring someone to oversee the project for them. When you hire the right person from the beginning of a project you will save in the end. Proper space planning and careful selections eliminate the piece of furniture (or art or chandelier) that you loved (usually- a very expensive piece) that is the wrong size (or color or style) and not returnable. The great designers do their job by listening to the client and coming back with what the client wants or a reason why something else would work better. 

Save money and valuable time- hire a designer at the beginning of your project!
