Family room library - mid-sized contemporary open concept porcelain tile family room library idea in Vancouver with white walls, no fireplace and a tv stand

This dining room, located in the Treme area in New Orleans was a delight to recreate. Here we used pieces from my client's former living and dining rooms as she downsized. We just added draperies, a custom light fixture, a pair of custom wall sconces and accessories.

Leasa Erkiletian, Interior Designer at our Leesburg store, shares this design project that blends Babette's past and present to create a fresh transitional style. Our beloved customer recently downsized and wanted to integrate several statement pieces from Babette's that they love to their new home. We beautifully added transitional furniture and accessories throughout the home to transform the look from traditional Tommy Bahama to an elegant transitional home. The homeowners have a great sense of style and quality and were very receptive to design advice to help complete this very special project!

Our clients were downsizing from a large multi-level home to a smaller ranch home by the New Jersey shore. Key to this move was finding a home close to other family members that had good bones, but could be transformed into the home of their dreams. This meant renovating the kitchen to create an open floor plan style with all new appliances, cabinetry and granite countertops

This amazing 2,116 sq ft Cottage, with Cape Cod siding is the perfect size for downsizing from your family home but just perfect for entertaining as well. This direct Oceanfront lot is one of the nicer settings around with the Cottage set perfectly on top of Skipper Hill.

Brad Nicol Photography For this project, I helped my client downsize from a larger home to a smaller attached home. I determined which furnishings could be reused - where and how; what should be eliminated; and what needed to be newly purchased. In this space we added custom valances at the windows and pillows on the bed and chaise lounge.

After downsizing from a large Mediterranean style home, an open and airy condo appealed to this client. We created an inviting space by incorporating a light and fresh palette with wallpapers, fabrics, and furniture. Photos done by Adam Ryan Morris at Morris Creative, LLC.

This project is new construction. The client downsized from a large home in Leawood KS. For their new home they requested a neutral palette for all their furnishing and furniture that was comfortable, worked well with dogs and grandchildren. It was important that the style of the home and the furnishings not be to trendy but be classic in styling and age well with time. This home reflects many different layers of interesting material selections, including the mirrored back splash in the Kitchen and the marble accents in the bathroom, stunning high end furniture, fabrics, area rugs and drapery. The clients love their new home as do their 2 cockier spaniel pups!

Empty nesters take on a new life and new home in Northwest DC. Downsizing has its monumental challenges, and that was definitely the case with this project. The clients wanted a very narrow, partially below-ground, and slightly sterile space to feel like home. Ralph Lauren was our inspiration - both the clients and I love rich plaids, warm textures and touches of leather mixed with interesting metals. Because the rowhouse is so narrow, we added an entire wall of navy blue built-ins to the living space to create the illusion of more depth while adding much-needed storage. We wanted this home to convey the feeling of a favorite cashmere sweater, worn jeans and Gucci loafers.

This condo was completely vacant. We bought all the furniture and accessories on a small budget. If you are interested in having a consultation, give us a call. We work with realtors, home owners, seniors downsizing, investors and house 'flippers'. Call 514-222-5553

The decision to go small is about her personal values, committing to a lifestyle, and living within her means. The move to design small is a subjective decision that weighs in on a number of factors that can’t possibly be summed up in one statement, but the obvious benefits jump to the front...easier to maintain, less cleaning, less expensive, less debt, less environmental impact, less temptation to accumulate. Her design requirements were simple, small footprint less than 1000 sq. ft., garage below the living area, and take advantage of the amazing view. It’s smaller than the average house, but designed in a way that it won’t feel like a shoebox. My client thought long and hard about downsizing her home and her lifestyle, and she couldn’t be happier

Feature in: Luxe Magazine Miami & South Florida Luxury Magazine If visitors to Robyn and Allan Webb’s one-bedroom Miami apartment expect the typical all-white Miami aesthetic, they’ll be pleasantly surprised upon stepping inside. There, bold theatrical colors, like a black textured wallcovering and bright teal sofa, mix with funky patterns, such as a black-and-white striped chair, to create a space that exudes charm. In fact, it’s the wife’s style that initially inspired the design for the home on the 20th floor of a Brickell Key high-rise. “As soon as I saw her with a green leather jacket draped across her shoulders, I knew we would be doing something chic that was nothing like the typical all- white modern Miami aesthetic,” says designer Maite Granda of Robyn’s ensemble the first time they met. The Webbs, who often vacation in Paris, also had a clear vision for their new Miami digs: They wanted it to exude their own modern interpretation of French decor. “We wanted a home that was luxurious and beautiful,” says Robyn, noting they were downsizing from a four-story residence in Alexandria, Virginia. “But it also had to be functional.” To read more visit: https: https://maitegranda.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/LX_MIA18_HOM_MaiteGranda_10.pdf Rolando Diaz
