You know those little recesses in the wall where you can…well, here, let’s see what we CAN do with nitches, neeshes or nishes. At this client’s house, the moody-toned niche above the fireplace was […]

When you envision “man cave decor”, what images come to mind? Braveheart posters? Kegerators and vinyl furniture in team colors? Well, if that’s what he wants, I say go for it (if you can confine it to the basement or attic, maybe?) But if we expand our thoughts about man caves to include not just […]

It’s a grandma’s decorating 9-1-1! Paula  came to me feeling stuck. She wanted to make this gameroom into a playroom for her grandkids, but couldn’t seem to figure out how to do it since one child was a firetruck-loving boy and one was a princess-loving girl!

And while we wait (and wait) for fall outside, we like to bring some […]

My client’s daughter wanted to add some chic to her bland bedroom. She loves turquoise blue and birds. She also wanted a touch of whimsy.  In no time at all, this room went from from DRAB… …to FAB!         Highlights in this redo: -The birds she likes are subtly incorporated. Can you spot all the birds? […]
