My Houzz: Bohemian Elegance in a Small Space

A Lucite cocktail table nearly disappears, leaving behind just its elegant reflective edges. Favorite coffee table books elevate a thrift store skull and vintage binoculars. Above the sofa, a flea market–sourced jackalope trophy adds a note of cheekiness.

Rather than follow the philosophy "There is a place for everything," Quintana prefers to think, "Where should I move this piece to next?"

In the living room, Quintana remade a midcentury modern chair with a stylish Greek key fabric. She also re-covered the vintage ottoman in dark green velvet.

Quintana was able to carve out a glamorous dining room from a diminutive space by using high-backed retro chairs and an Ikea table. A classic chandelier radiates soft light from above. Quintanta recommends replacing all of the light fixtures in a house. "This makes a place feel so special, and everyone will notice!" she says.

The dining chairs will eventually be reupholstered in gold velvet with a pink and white pattern on the back. She's also hoping to replace the Ikea table with a vintage marble table.

This set of eight six-piece vintage gold flatware place settings and two serving spoons from the Rose Bowl Flea Market is Quintana's latest $25 steal.

A DIY chalkboard provides a space for everything from daily inspiration for Quintana's holistic lifestyle business to shopping lists.

Custom shades and an old sign from her husband's college days accessorize the kitchen. Vintage kitchenware brings color to a butcher block countertop.

When asked what she would change about her home, Quintana says, "Don't get me started on the kitchen! I fantasize about cooking in a lush kitchen for friends and a killer bar for my husband to make me delicious cocktails with his homemade bitters."

The tufted headboard's elegant lines offset a casual striped coverlet from Anthropologie. Overhead, a vintage lighting find adds warmth.

DIY song-lyric art rests on a Crate & Barrel console beside the bed, surrounded by curated curiosities.

A '60s pendant inspired a yellow color palette in this home office. Mirrored closet doors reflect a vintage dresser that Quintana updated with white paint.

Quintana's jewelry and accessories reside next to books organized by color, creating visual impact in a white bookcase. “I’m obsessed with the color white," she says. "I think this room represents me and my talents. It's also the room that houses my clothing and shoes, which are very dear to me," says Quintana.

White is repeated in the ornate DIY pin board, the faux bamboo Chippendale chair, the lacquer World Market desk and the cream-colored flokati rug. Favorite images, photos and client ideas are front and center. A gooseneck desk lamp and typewriter add a vintage touch to the glossy white desk surface. Quintana loves sitting at her desk in the office. "I spent the most time designing it because I wanted to work in a space that inspired me," she says.
