I realize it has been a while since I’ve posted. The past few weeks have been spent doing some major traveling (between Europe, Jackson Hole, New Jersey & Las Vegas, I have a LOT of travel posts to come!) Needless to say, I feel refreshed and excited and ready to tackle some design!
I’ve got a dear friend who is recently married (congrats!) and so begins the merging of the stuff. Having recently purchased a home, the couple is looking to take on some major renovations, but first up is re-doing the living room and dining room. Up first, the living room!
A few inspirational pictures, client approved…
A few details about the current space:
-Living room and dining room are open to another, so cohesiveness is a necessity
-A wall of windows provides ample lighting but minimal wall space
-With two kids & a dog, the space needs to be family friendly, functional & durable
-Her style is transitional meets rustic meets traditional, so its quite a mix
Here is the [almost] final draft of what I put together for them. They’re having a piece of art commissioned for above the sofa (abstract blended with blues, grays & whites)
Well, what do you think?! Would you be happy in this space?!
{sofa // chairs // lamps // coffee table // side tables // rug //
small table // blue & patterned pillow}
I love how you took the inspirational photos and tied it all together into one idea board at the end of the post. It looks great! Want to come design my apartment soon?! 😉

All of these ideas, including yours, looks so clean and refreshing- definitely the type of home I’d want to live in! It looks like that would go great with the artwork they’re going to have!

Great inspiration boards. I can completely agree, merging stuff and style in the first months of marriage is certainly not an easy task, but the finished product and the memories made are my favorite!

LOVE this…love the neutrals and love that you actually suggested white (or off white) chairs. I have white slipcovered couches in my living room and people thought I was crazy. Every 6 months I take the slip covers to the dry cleaners and they are as good as new 🙂 And I love that you are doing a custom piece of art over the couch. I am currently working with two Etsy artists for custom pieces…one for our new renovated bedroom and 3 watercolors of my kids in their bathing suits :-))))))
