This renovation was a classic case of a beautiful home with good bones just need a good refresh. This furnishings only project equipped the homeowners with a design directive for two rooms and full control to execute on their own.

The goal of the first room, the front den, was to give my clients a comfortable retreat made just for them and a front room, lacking personality and purpose was just the place. Bold colors, lush velvet fabrics, and a custom build of wall to wall cabinetry helped transform this empty space into the ultimate escape.

The goal of the second room, the main living room, was to give the clients a brighter, cohesive, furnished space and we did that by adding A LOT of light, lighter fabrics & furnishings, texture, and a focal wall wrapped in shiplap.
