AN OFFICE MAKEOVER

Posted in Decor, Interior Design, Projects, tagged , , , , , , on January 16, 2022| Leave a Comment »

Happy Friday! Today I’m sharing before and after photos of an office makeover for a wonderful client. I’ve been very fortunate to work with this client for over seven years now and I’ve always enjoyed working with her.  Basically, whenever she says, “Can you?”, I always say “yes I can!” This time, she asked if I would be willing to tackle her new office in a high rise building in Long Beach. The building was very nice but the offices were your basic berber carpet and white walls. Because my client is a psychologist, I really wanted to create a warm and serene environment for her, as well as her clients. 

Being a huge art lover, my client came across this beautiful painting (above). So when we met to talk about some of her wishes she showed me this painting and I immediately thought it would be the perfect piece for this space.

We chose (‘Iron Creek’ by Dunn Edwards), and I loved it, but I felt like it needed a little something else. So I decided to add grids (below) and painted them to give the room more dimension and interest.

5 DREAMY BEDROOMS

Posted in Bedrooms, Decor, Interior Design, tagged , , , , on October 2, 2019| Leave a Comment »

The bedroom–the place we go to rest, recover and dream.

A well thought-out bedroom, whether large or small, should give us a sense of peace and comfort. It should be our refuge from the daily rigors life throws at us.

When designing a bedroom, the first thing to consider is the overall color palette. Depending on your personal taste, it should be a palette that calms and soothes you, and allows you to decompress at the day’s end. Next, bring in texture with a headboard, a beautiful rug, linens and window treatments. Make it personal. Reflect your style with a gallery wall that includes your favorite photos or paintings. Add objects that reflect found travels and books that make you happy. Lastly, de-clutter. Clutter only stresses us out and makes us think of everything we’re not doing at the moment. Organize yourself with good storage, or at least, move all your clutter to another room (hahaha).

 Also, if you don’t have carpet in your bedroom, don’t forget a rug. Rugs ground a room and make them feel cozy in a snap.

Happy Wednesday!

By removing a dated atrium in this Texas project, I gave my clients a much larger dining room, as well as more storage space in the kitchen. See the before and after photos below.

BEFORE + AFTER: AUSTIN KITCHEN

Posted in Decor, Interior Design, Kitchens, Projects, Renovation Project, tagged , , , , , , on July 23, 2019| 2 Comments »

“Free rein” were the instructions given to me when I took on this project, something a designer relishes in. Therefore, when it came time to design the kitchen I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted to design it around an island, a very large island. A place that would bring family and friends together, where kids could hang out as meals were prepared and guests could pop over for a cup of coffee or glass of wine. I knew it would become the heart of the home and place where many memories would be made.

I’ve posted the interior of this Austin project before, but I recently had it photographed, so today I’m excited to share the first batch of photos with you.

Originally, the fireplace was covered in stucco and there was a large atrium that took up most of the living space.

PILATES LOVES YOU!

Posted in Decor, Exterior Design, Interior Design, Projects, tagged , , , , on May 8, 2019| 2 Comments »

I’m so excited to share my latest project with you — a pilates studio in Studio City, California. This was such a fun project to design, and I couldn’t have asked for a better client.

Before

My goal for the studio was to create a space that felt light and airy, yet completely relaxed. The owner, Angie, is so friendly and personable that I really wanted the space to reflect her personality. I designed a seating area that would be comfortable, yet understated, so not to take away from the real stars — the pilates equipment.

I added a mix of both faux and real plants.

THE LOCKER ROOM

The exterior was fairly simple — paint, a new awning, grasses that would move in the wind and some privacy for the clients.

Happy Wednesday!

I love Ellen DeGeneres’s new lighting collection. Crafted by Generation Lighting and influenced by some of Ellen’s favorite artists, the collection is inspired by her own treasured pieces throughout her homes. I love the relaxed style of the collection which works beautifully with many different styles —  from rustic to mid-century.

One of my favorites — Augie Table Lamp

Anhdao Table Lamp

Indo Table Lamp, Indo Wall Sconce & Georgia Wall Sconce

Francis Floor Lamp

Another of my favorites — Redmond Table Lamp.

To view Ellen’s entire collection go to Clarkson Lighting.

 

Have a great weekend!

Shannon
