Downsizing can be a great way to start fresh. This baby boomer couple gained wonderful new space in their new home. Custom bed, bedding and window treatments set the tone for the relaxing retreat. Drapery panel details: pencil pleat header, greek key trim, embroidered fabric and custom rods with a mercury glass finial.

Here we replaced the mantle with a new, unfinished wood mantle that we wanted to distress and make look rustic and worn. We gave it several heavy coats of paint as well and now it's as though it has been there forever. The lovely bergere chairs and ottoman were recovered in a lush pale grey velvet for the perfect complement to the Carrara marble surround.

These owners were downsizing out of a 7,500 sqft home built in the '80s to their "forever home." They wanted Alair to create a traditional setting that showcased the antiques they had collected over the years, while still blending seamlessly with the modern touches required to live comfortably in today's world.

This homeowner was ready to downsize. They sold the big house and bought an older condo on the golf course that needed some tender loving care. First mission - tear out the kitchen countertops and flooring. Paint the honey oak cabinets gray, added Cambria Bellingham countertops. Second mission - remodel the master bath with new vanity and Cambria Minera countertops. It's beautiful and there are no boundaries. Let's see...what will be their third mission?

This home was designed for an empty nester couple wanting a new fresh look while creating a downsized home that lived large. The exterior has taken the traditional farmhouse styling and was modernized with large expanses of floor to ceiling glass window and door systems providing a light and airy interior. The South facing exterior front porch patio provides an outdoor living area for morning coffee and socializing with neighbors.

Location: North Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL, United States This client was downsizing from a very large vintage co-op to a two bedroom two bath condo. The project scope included gutting the entire unit and starting from scratch. One of the most difficult challenges was making sure the design could properly display her extensive art collection. Because of the scale difference, I custom designed all new living room and dining room furniture fabricated by Barron Custom Furniture. The end result was a beautiful contemporary space that fit all of my clients needs.

AFTER! The hero of this room was a tandem shelving unit. MY client needed lots of storage for the materials of her trade, but in a way that felt inviting, warm, and personal. Emma Spring doesn't just organize- she styles your space to be just what you need!
