I usually show you before and after of furniture makeovers on the blog, but today I thought I’d mix it up a bit and show you an interior design job. I’ve been working on since November. They trusted me on some decisions they were making and willing to make adjustments that made a huge impact on the final look. When I looked at the dining room (the room with the rug), I loved the rug, but knew it needed to be bigger to anchor the space. They returned it and upgraded to the next size up. As you walk into the room, your eyes wanted to go to the far wall, but it was lacking in wow factor. I wanted to make the room feel like it kept going so I went with a dark blue/gray/teal color and then changed the other three walls to a warm, brown friendly gray.

I so badly wanted them to get a hutch for the large wall because I knew that would send this design out of the park! I took a risk and bought this hutch without my client knowing and practically begged them to buy it for the space. They did and I’m so glad!!
