Sneak Peek-client design plan

4/29/2016

I've had my eye on this rug for ages, but unfortunately there's no room for it in my current home. So, I did the next best thing and used it for a client project. Check back in on Monday for the full design plan for a living room and dining nook redesign.

My clients are a young family who have just moved into a new apartment and are looking to create a cozy home that won't forfeit style for livability. Can I do it? Check back and see.

And if you need design consultation services, send me an email and together we'll give you a beautiful place to come home to.

Privacy, please

One of the best parts about taking the dog out for his nightly walk is getting to spy, ahem, observe, my neighbors. I'm in West Hollywood and there's some great ideas on display.

For instance, notice the simple privacy treatment on the window pictured left. Sorry for the quality, but when there's an 80 lb lab pulling at you, it's tough to get a great shot. This midcentury style apartment frosted the bottom third of the window to provide some privacy while leaving the top two thirds open. You can purchase frosted contact paper in different sizes, so just choose the right length and apply. It's fast, effective and appropriate to the style of the home.

Meet my new recliner. It's pretty great.

A quick word on recliners. Recliners are awesome. They're no longer the eyesores of the past with big poufy arms and large handles built into the site. Fear not, for if that is your jam, those versions are still available at many discount furniture stores.

A few weeks ago I went down to down to Chile for Lollapalooza and some sightseeing. After a few days in Santiago, it was off to the coast. In particular, I was really excited to visit Valparaiso, a cliffside beach town known for it's funky murals and brightly colored homes. It did not disappoint. Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda wrote a beautiful poem that captures the wild "Valpo" spirit.

As promised, here is the finished board for the client project I hinted at last week. My client recently moved into a rental apartment and is looking to update her bedroom. The goal is feminine and sophisticated. Here's the plan:

See this headboard? Pretty nice, right? It's a beautiful linen look with nailhead trim. It's also one of two fabulous bargains in a client room plan I'm very excited to share next week. The price? A cool $89 for a queen headboard available in 3 colors here.

And I can recommend it with confidence since I own a king sized version in navy blue.
