Did you know? November is Courtney Warren Home birthday month! Did you see last week’s before and after? Let’s continue the celebration! I have more of my favorite client before-and-after transformations to show you! Hands down, here’s my favorite before and after project. THIS lovely, light-filled dining and family gathering spot… …previously was THIS! (Actually, this […]
This beautiful home was grand in scale but lacked warmth and personality. The BEFORE photos (below) show the beautiful bones but all the colors blend into each other. Now its sunny interior welcomes family and friends every day with perky, quirky touches that enhance the home’s best features. You might hesitate, as this client did, at the suggestion of […]
Timeless and incredibly versatile, that’s a blue and white color scheme! Really, who doesn’t like blue?? (When I ask people their favorite color to design with, 9 times of out 10 they say blue!). So many shades of blue and so many ways to apply, adapt, and tweak blue and white. In this client’s home, I brightened the […]
Friends, what a thrill to be recognized by the Houzz community for outstanding work! I’ve recently been awarded the Best of Houzz Design badge AND the Best of Houzz Service badge for 2018! This is an amazing and humbling affirmation that the work I LOVE resonates with so many who follow, work in, and write about home design. I was blown away to learn […]
We have good intentions about decorating our kids’ rooms, we really do. But, you know, life happens and somehow… Enough with regrets–let’s get inspired about those darling little spaces instead! Your little people will be delighted and you’ll be happier every time you walk in their rooms. Happy is reason enough, right?. But here’s the practical bonus (in […]
My client said, “Out with the Old (World), in with the new!” I was happy to help him ditch his big brown baronial-style bedroom. Now he loves the light, fresh, sun-filled space! The room before was dated, heavy, and brown, brown, brown. The changes in paint, furnishings, and accessories gave this master a completely different personality! Highlights of this […]
SMLXL This before and after is a great example of how finishing touches completely make a room. The room before (below) was fine. It had curtains. A couple of pillows. A rug. And nothing else. Just by adding FINISHING TOUCHES, this space looks together and finished. Can you see what we added? Flowers in the vases […]
SMLXL This sweet owner was ready to get away from the dated decor and into a fresh, colorful, beautiful space to work. My favorite part of this room might be the gallery wall, or maybe the vintage ceiling tiles we got from the same contractor that supplies them to Joanna Gaines! (Hello, let’s be […]
Highlight’s in Decor: -Matching sconces on both sides of the bathroom mirror helped balance the length of the vanity. They are a touch of elegance and a great light source as well! -The granite vanity featured is a re-purposed buffet. Because normal sinks are BORING! It gives a vintage feel to the space. -The glass sink […]
The dining room, a place for good food and fellowship, is the heart of any gathering. And FOOD. I mean, let’s just agree that we all want to EAT!!! So I needed my new dining room to be comfortable for guests. I also wanted a fresh, light, airy feel . I created that atmosphere using light gray […]
