{Client Design} Jackie Hiatt

Jackie was a typical client--tired of her home and ready for an update. She was also amazing to work with because she loved ALL of my ideas! I love easy clients! :)

Jackie's entire color palette came from an existing tray she had. Each room focused on a different color, but cohesively worked together in the end.

Jackie's Needs:
1. Stuck in a RUT! Ready for an update.
2. Had a great, but outdated dining room and hoped to use it more for family dinners.
3. Entry way was dark and uninviting.
4. Lighting needed updated.
5. Had great built in bookcases flanking her fireplace but didn't have a clue of what to do with them.

AFTER - My favorite room of this project! LOVE the new lighting and color scheme!

Jackie had lots of FABULOUS things in her home already, just didn't know where to start. So the trick here was to stretch her dollar as far as we could buy repurposing a lot of her existing furniture and accessories into new, modern pieces! Oh and did I mention my time frame for this project was 10 DAYS!!!

"I finally love my house! I just feel so blessed each day I walk downstairs and see all my new rooms!!" --Jackie Hiatt

{DIY} Nursery for Baby Clark

A quick and easy Sunday afternoon project for Baby Clark! Inspired by HGTV Design Star, the abstract tree trunks in coordinating blues make a BOLD statement in this nursery! I worked with Kelsey Clark on her living room last Spring and was delighted to be able to help design her nursery for her little boy arriving any day now!

Hopefully more photos soon when the room is completed!!!

This is a great idea for any room of the house!! Any color combination can be used in a project like this depending on how bold or subtle you want to go, or depending on the space. I think this would look great in a bedroom or even as a "family tree" wall with a photo collage!!

{Client Design} Julie & Ian Molyneux Master Bedroom

My sister Julie, and husband, Ian were lucky enough and brave enough to be my VERY FIRST clients!! We treated it HGTV style without them knowing ANY of the design choices being made along the way and a final REVEAL at the end!

Design Scheme


Inspiration

Their brand new home (still under construction in this shot) was a blank slate for the design, which I LOVED!

After months of anticipation, Julie and Ian LOVED their new space! And the best part was...I got engaged that night after all of my hard work! : )

{Custom Artwork}

Sometimes I think of amazing ideas for a space and then can never actually find that product produced in any stores. So my solution....if you can't find it, MAKE IT!! With a little blood, sweat, and tears....most high end art can be replicated into your own custom art for very little compared to the original!

This custom piece of art was inspired by recycled barn wood (oak) and turned into a one of a kind masterpiece!! With a little help from Miss Lauren Deffner!
