Great transformation! Very sophisticated with just the right touch of masculinity. Thanks for sharing.

Very striking indeed.

Whoa! Definitely wasn't expecting that. It looks great!! Quite the bachelor pad!

Beautifully decorated.

quite a 'wow'. you took a place that was very cold and generic looking and gave it a real personality. and I love those 2 round mirrors from Target -- I'm going to have to go check those out. good job ladies.

I am curious why you hung the pictures so high?

also, if it were my space I'd want a small modern swivel chair or 2 to make the living room more conversational, but maybe the open floor space is more important to your client.

You are so talented! I love to see your work. So fun and energetic.

Wow! Grown and Sexy! He won't be single for long...lol! :-)

This looks awesome, except for the artwork. It looks too high and the staggering is distracting. Otherwise, fantastic.

I agree. Amazing transformation, but the paintings are too high & shouldn't be staggered. Also, I think the three should have the same frames, as the wallpaper is the show stealer.

Fabulous, love the striped wall.

Amazing change! But, why are the pictures so high?

Love it all except the way the pictures are hung. I would never stagger the top of a grouping that way. Takes your eye off the art itself.

Thanks for the great feedback. Re: artwork. The frames could not be the same as two of the pieces were bought framed and the third (center) was not and had to be a custom job. Since they are also not the same size or height, we decided to stagger them. Clients a tall guy and has no worries with the height and wanted them staggered. re: adding more chairs. There is really no more room and no need. Another chair or two would mean cluttering the access to the bar stools etc..He is a single guy who travels extensively and thinks he now has way more seating than he can even use.

Love the palette! Very bold and comfortable.

love that sectional! It looks to be velvet?? We just bought a LoveSac sectional yesterday, ooohhhh the softness...

Nicely done. I heard your explanation for the height of the pictures but for me it is the one thing that just does not look visually appealing. The pictures are almost touching the ceiling, they should be placed lower ( including the pictures on the side wall).

Pow Pow Pow! NICE!

I would love love love except the pictures throw me off a bit.

I love the benches... do you have a good source for them?

Hey @Lebrun sectional is the Axis sectional from Crate and Barrel. It's a poly blend that is insanely soft and comfy. Client now spends a lot of time on that sectional. Re: artwork. Again, thanks for the feedback. While it may not appeal to some, it appeals to the client who also preferred that it breaks things up a bit i.e. all the vertical lines. At the end of the day it's his home; since he's happy with it, as are we, we are not exactly going back to him to adjust it because it doesn't appeal to a few. @sophia818 if you're referring to the ottoman with coffee table, they are from HervalUSA.

@andrew I believe I failed to individually thank a few who had no criticism as well but I'm not in the business of counting thank yous or the lack therefore. What I did was thank everyone collectively for their feedback - I trust you observed that? Here's the thing, we of course share our projects for feedback - it's why we're on Houzz and to of course generate business. And we expect criticism - it's the nature of being in a creative/subjective business. But asking/demanding that a designer change how a painting is hung, where a chair or pillow was placed when a project's long been completed, and to a clients liking, is disrespectful to the client/homeowner at best. I share loads of projects on Houzz, answer countless questions and participate in discussions because I love the general comraderie on Houzz. Thank you, at the very least, for a spirited discussion.

I love the color of the sectional, but not loving it with the wall paper...probably just the lighting, but the tones look slightly off.

I figured the client was tall... Great job!

Tall or not, I'd have hung the pics over the sectional at about 1' above the sofa...all the bottoms evenly. Looks nice tho...before pic I was surprised I didn't see a milk crate or 2.

Bungalowmo...The client can easily exchange the middle picture with something else... Or nothing at all. So many possibilities... I prefer my pics to line up or at least centered the middle pic, but I get the concept. Over all a great job!

Thanks again guys for all the feedback - good, bad and in between! Lol @Bungalowmo re: milk crates. Maybe he removed them before I got there? We could have hung these pieces in so many, many ways but based on the frames we had and loads of other reasons previously explained, this was his preference and he's happy with it.

What a great change to that space - good job! I LOVE the wallpaper. I think it makes the space definitely masculine while balancing the dark color with all the white.

I didn't even notice that the pix were hung a little too high until I started reading the comments. This is a disagreement I've had with my husband. I tell him I want to hang pictures at "eye level" and I come back and they're almost to the ceiling. He's a foot or more taller than I am and his "eye level" is different. :-)

lol Thanks @Pamela and yes, one man's eye level is another man's shoulder or waist.

Stunning as usual, Nicole! Interesting to see a more masculine room from you that is still bright and cheerful.

Shazaammm! Super fun!

FYI, my husband is also tall and generally requests artwork to be hung somewhat higher up on the wall than is considered 'legal'.

I don't always like it, but you give in on some design choices and insist on others where it matters more.

My dad is 6'4". My mom is 5'3" . They just redid the master bathroom with a funky but smallish mirror and my dad has to bend down to see himself in it. Luckily, he shaves and primps in my former bathroom, where he hung the mirror extra high for his extra tall self. I'm glad this tall drink of water decided not to have to squat down to enjoy his art the way he wants to in his own home.

You always do such a fabulous job and I love your work! Great talent; wish you were in NC.

Looks great - I agree with everyone else though, I'd move the two chrome framed pictures down so the tops match the middle pic. Staggered frames with the wallpaper hurts to look at IMO...

Super Transformation a ten!

Very nice!

Stunning! What a fabulous color palette! Blue and chartruese are a perfect pair. -Andie, Purehome.com

What would you like to say?you have done an amazing job.

Beautiful. Love the "suit" on the wall. This looks like a man "well put together". Kudos!

Tall guys sit down too and that's the line of site to consider when hanging pictures. We all love the room, we're just picky - glad the client is happy.

Do you have a source for the white bar stools? Great design.

Thanks @sophia818 the bar stools are from Modani. You can see much of the sources used here on my blog as well: http://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2013/10/bachelor-pad-part-two-kitchen.html

Thank you, Nicole!
