Dining room - transitional dining room idea in Dallas

The writing’s on the wall. Still popular wall galleries are one of the simplest DIY design hacks to personalize any space. Showcase a collection of family photographs and drawings, memorabilia, or favorite store-bought prints in a cultivated and clean or more cluttered looking arrangement to suit your space. Throw in some typography, hand-lettered word boards, or prints with your favorite quote or philosophy to live by to keep your style on trend this year. You can also display decorative signs on an easel, mantel, cupboard, or in any nook and cranny craving that personal touch.

The dining area is the hub of conversation in any space, so we were sure to include hanging family photos of major family events, alongside current awards and letters showing the resident's latest accomplishments.

My client wanted to create a Paris themed bedroom for her little girl. She had a lot of great elements for the space already; she just needed me to help tie everything in. Nothing says Parisian like a beautiful wall mirror. We found these beautiful "Como Carved White Mirrors" on Houzz and the lamp shades at At Home. My clients had the letters, bedsheets, and lamps. We added the black, round wooden cut out to the back of it and spray painted the letters pink. The rose print was a piece my client and her daughter made together that we framed.
