Decorist customer Jessica came to us with an assignment that our designer Chrissy couldn't wait to tackle: help me re-invent my living room channeling Emily Henderson and a bit of Madmen, and mixing colors, patterns and styles into one cohesive look. Jessica already had her eye on a few pieces when she bought her Decorist makeover: the sophisticated, tufted West Elm Ainslie sofa and the Crate & Barrel Arietta chair, which Chrissy recommended upholstering in a luxurious blue velvet. Chrissy worked around a palette of three colors: blues, greens and purples, layering in gold-finished metals and adding textures through the plush Moroccan-inspired rug, green leather pouf and patterned silk purple pillow. She also helped Jessica re-think her living room layout, moving the placement of the sofa to another wall to create a more open feeling. Don't miss the before ... can you believe the transformation? Far from the neutral and boring that Jessica wanted to avoid. It's cheerful and colorful and cozy!

Our clients had enjoyed their home for more than 25 years, but little had changed during that time. They were ready for a full main level renovation. We started by working collaboratively to re-envision the kitchen space to ensure we achieved key goals: open sight lines to the eating area and family room; space for an island with seating; new locations for the range and refrigerator; and removal of an awkward pantry and unused desk. The redesigned space called for removing a load bearing wall to allow space for the island and to repurpose the pantry and desk square footage for wall ovens, refrigerator, and pantry. The clients selected a warm white paint for the perimeter cabinetry (Medallion Cabinetry, White Icing) and balanced the design with a stained cherry island and hood (Medallion Cabinetry, French Roast). The dramatic Cambria Helmsley was chosen for the island countertop, with the serene Silestone Eternal Marfil for the perimeter. The simple subway backsplash ensures the bronze metal tile, laid in a herringbone pattern over the range, is the focal point on the perimeter walls. Bronze accents with the sink (Elkay, Mocha), lighting, cabinetry hardware, and furniture reinforce the warm atmosphere. Our clients chose beautiful, yet durable, Armstrong Alterna luxury vinyl tile in Artisan Forge for the kitchen. For the other spaces — living room, dining room, foyer, family room, office, and powder room — we laid Armstrong Paragon Oak hardwood in Countryside Brown. Final touches included a buffet in the eating area, new hardwood staircase with iron balusters, wool stair runner, two custom area rugs, and new powder room vanity and accessories.
