Living Lounge Refresh Sometimes the biggest transformations come from restraint rather than addition. Let's upgrade your tv while we're at it. For this living lounge refresh, we focused on simplifying the visual noise and allowing the architecture to take center stage. By refining the fireplace wall, introducing stronger contrast, editing accessories, and layering in natural textures, the room shifted from builder-basic to elevated and intentional. The result is a space that feels: • warmer • more architectural • more collected • and better suited for everyday living and gathering A reminder that great design isn't always about a full renovation. Sometimes it's about seeing the potential in what already exists and making thoughtful moves that completely change the experience of the room. Swipe to see how a few strategic updates transformed this lounge into a richer, moodier, more curated retreat.

Amber works from home and was sacrificing a dining room for her home office. By utilizing the double wide closet space in her guest bedroom, she now walks into her home without the reminder of work, and can have guests over for a meal in her dining room (dining room reveal coming soon). The walls were freshly painted Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams. This gives the room a fresh, clean look and also adds contrast to the beige carpet. Amber had her homework assignments cut out for her as she had to do some major purging in her throw all guest room. Once she started letting go, she was on a roll and continually surprised me as she cleaned out closets throughout the house. One dresser was filled with cds, dvds, books, albums, scrap-booking materials; items taking up precious real estate in her life that she didn't even know were there. There really wasn't a storage problem after-all, she was just holding on to a collection of things that no longer served her. Each time I would visit, and her space would become more open, I could see the weight lifting off her and her self love building. Amber had a recent breakup with her boyfriend and this makeover helped her not only focus on making a home sanctuary for herself, but helped her let go of the pains of the past and focus on the exciting future ahead. At one point when we were moving sofas in the living room (which we will also reveal soon), we found an ex's flip-flop. We were figuratively and literally sweeping away the past. Editing your home and your life makes room for your future; for new people and things. We are so happy to finally reveal the room to you! We can't wait to unveil the rest of Amber's home, once we complete the finishing touches. Challenges: Amber's home was filled with mix-matched furniture from family and college. She had no idea what her decorating style was. After shopping together and exchanging somepinterest boards, I was finally able to get a sense of what she loves. I had to work on a tight budget, which meant really digging out the creativity and utilizing other items in the home. I transformed a table from the discard pile into this faux marble bedside table (click web link for more details). Amber's dad was able to help with the desk materials and building to cut costs. We wanted to save the closet doors in the event she sold her home or no longer needed an office someday. There wasn't any extra space to store these closet doors, so I used them as a headboard. The only items purchased were: Curtains, Curtain Rod, Bedspread Set, Throw Pillows, 2 Lamps and Paint. Those power cords in the closet were unsightly and we didn't have the patience to wait to drill a hole under the desk (Another task for Amber's dad). Solution: I found a large frame and extra fabric and made a quick pin board. I used the same fabric to cover the harsh black mouse pad.

DESIGN CHALLENGES ADDRESSED: To anyone who may be reading this project overview, I do hope you'll have the opportunity to have a look at the 'before' photo of this space. It's quite a transformation! Our homeowners purchased their condo at the beach several years ago. As shown in the 'before' photo, the casual dining area was a dark and dated space with unsightly paneled walls, heavy faux ceiling beams and odds and ends for furniture. It was cut off from the kitchen and did not lend itself for entertaining. Everything felt cramped and cluttered throughout the condo, especially this space. The client's vision was for a relaxed and welcoming dining space that would allow them to comfortably host friends and family. DESIGN SOLUTIONS PROVIDED: The entire condo was taken down to the stud. The faux beams were edited out and the ceiling raised. The heavy out-dated paneling was replaced with fresh clean walls that were painted in a calming creamy sand tone throughout the entire condo. The wall that once separated the kitchen and dining area was completely removed. This space now felt far more spacious and open. The existing heavy and out dated furniture was replaced with stylish functional pieces. Great thought was given to the size, scale and textiles used. A round table with a wonderful archectural base in a richly textured weathered driftwood finish was selected. With the option of adding an extension leaf (which converted the table into a generous rectangle) the homeowners now had the desired space to host a sizable group of guests without feeling crowded as before. Dining chairs with a 'x' back wood frame in a playful shade of kiwi and crisp striped cushions completed the look. Clean line sconces in a rich linen textile were added on either of the window for soft ambient lighting. The overall effect of the renovation was quite dramatic and the clients were thrilled with the results. This casual dining area went from being dark and dated to light and airy and is now a wonderful space that is both inviting and relaxing along with being a great place to entertain. RETAIL PROJECT PRICE: $ 5,000.00 Retail price is defined as the total sale you submitted on your sales repor

DESIGN CHALLENGES ADDRESSED: To anyone who may be reading this project overview, I do hope you'll have the opportunity to have a look at the 'before' photo of this space. It's quite a transformation! Our clients purchased their condo at the beach several years ago. As shown in the 'before' photo, the owner's bedroom suite was a dark and dated space with unsightly paneled walls, heavy faux ceiling beams and outdated furniture. Everything felt cramped and cluttered throughout the condo, especially their primary bedroom . The client's vision for this space was for everything to have an airy and relaxed spa like feel. DESIGN SOLUTIONS PROVIDED: The entire condo was taken down to the stud. The faux beams were edited out and the ceiling raised. The heavy out-dated paneling was removed and replaced with fresh clean walls that were painted in a calming creamy tone throughout the entire condo. The awkwardly positioned windows were removed. New windows were then added with great attention to placement. On the main wall, windows were spaced to allow a queen sized bed to nest perfectly in between them. Richly textured honeycomb cellular shades were selected with a black out liner to tame the direct sun throughout the day. The homeowners have two dogs and a cat who love a visit to the beach as much as their 'humans'. All of our updated new furniture selections successfully addressed the client's quest for a 'pet friendly' environment. The existing dark and gloomy furniture was replaced with stylish updated pieces. Great thought was given to the size, scale and textiles used in this space. A custom upholstered bed with great architectural detailing was selected. It's richly textured easy-care fabric in a soft oatmeal tone created the perfect touch.

In the last edition of Elle Decoration in March, they published our Mosaic del Sur cement tiles in an innovative project with the interior architect Marianne Evennou. The challenge was to create a functional and beautiful space with only 11m2. This area was found in an under-roof and transformed with soft and neutral colours. By eliminating the false ceiling the architect gained the 4 meters needed to create a loft where to put the bed. The Mosaic del Sur encaustic cement tiles were used to make the space seem bigger. “ In such a small space, it can be divided as you please and it will just make the room more spacious” explains the architect. In this way, Marianne marked the transition from the entrance to the kitchen by inverting the colours of the tiles.
