AFTER! This client needed help streamlining his kitchen, to improve its functionality and to create an inviting space. Smart re-allocation of items and creating "zones" helped!

We completely remodeled a two-bedroom downsize home for our client, opening up the space as much as we could to add a spacious feel. The neutral palette balances warm and cool hues. We added wainscoting to the dining room walls and grasscloth wallpaper to the top. The geometric patterned drapery adds visual interest when paired with neutral chair fabric.

AFTER! Children appreciate a well-organized space too! Emma Spring creates easy-to follow guidelines that help kids' keep their rooms tidy!

We removed cabinets separating the kitchen from the dining room for more flow between the spaces, and replaced a redundant eating nook with a breakfast counter in order to expand the overall footprint of the kitchen.

AFTER! Creating a personalized system based on your belongings and routines is key! Emma Spring prioritizes space for the things you love most.

I installed a plate glass mirror in this up-cycled second hand picture frame. A single bowl floating IKEA GODMORGEN/ODENSVIK vanilty/sink helps keep the small space as open as possible and provides good storage along with a basket of towels tucked away in the corner. Delta Trinsic faucet, toilet tissue holder, and towel hook.

We re-brassed the original doorbell in the center of the door because we loved its charm - the rest of the hardware is new. The gloss black front door really makes a great statement.

A cozy cabin ideal for a weekend getaway or those wanting to downsize. The Laurel Point II has a 28’ front porch that offers lots of space for enjoying a rocker or porch swing.

Downsizing. It is an idealistic word for anyone that has more space than they need. It means less cleaning and maintenance costs, access to more culturally rich areas and a shrinking carbon footprint. What is one demographic that has been at the forefront of downsizing? Empty nesters. Visualizing how to actually taking the step to make this change is not easy for everyone, however. Some people have reservations: Where will kids and grandkids stay when they visit? Where can I have my own space to escape to? What about the home office? Taylor Morrison and Hanley Wood teamed up to create the NEXTadventure Home in Orlando, Florida. They set out to answer those questions and ease those doubts. The home features a flex room with transforming furniture. The Giro desk swings out to provide a work surface. The Nuovoliola wall bed provides a sofa during the day and a bed at night. The space also uses plenty of shelving to stay organized.

Big cities and small spaces seem to go hand in hand. Just ask Lottie Bildirici of the blog Running on Veggies! She recently moved from Brooklyn to New York City, which meant a major downsize in square footage. So, Lottie turned to us for help! She worked with a Design Associate at our Chelsea store to maximize her bedroom and create a functional space for sleeping, working and biking. Yes, biking! Photos by Lottie Bildirici

A client had downsized and wanted something spectacular for his new living space. He enjoyed the Zuber murals, the subjects they depicted and the history behind the murals themselves. Zuber is a highly specialized wallpaper that has to be installed a certain way. The walls require lining, and the print is very sensitive. They are printed with the same “inks” using the same wood blocks for the last over 200 years. This project was done in Hunt Valley, Baltimore County, MD.

A full wall of Sonoma Vihara Jade Silk mosaic tile adds loads of interest to a small space while maintaining the spacious feeling helped by a floating vanity and glass shower enclosure. One of four Delta Trinsic Robe Hooks tucked out of the way behind the door.

The owner had the fabulous sculpture in her collection, which we promptly added to the garden when it was ready. The antique bench was sourced locally here in Charleston.
