Casual, Modern Basement Remodel {Client Design}

I am so excited to FINALLY be able to share a tour of this basement remodel!  It's been months of hard work, planning, and some amazing clients to work with!

After years of letting their 3 young boys take over the empty basement to run around and play sports in, the family decided it was time to reclaim the basement as a space for the entire family.  The goal was to make the basement a comfy, casual space for movie nights, entertaining family during the holidays, and still keeping a spot just for the kids to play!

Like most unfinished basements, they had one wide open basement with no walls, no separation, and no clear picture of space planning.  So, after lots of planning of the wide open space, we were able to make space for a full kitchen for lots of entertaining, a family space with a large sectional and fireplace, a guest room that doubles as a fitness room, a full bathroom, and a hangout space just for the kids.  Take a look at the complete tour of the once empty basement, transformed into a casual, modern family hangout space!

Additional window to the right of the fireplace for ample amount of natural light in the space. 

The white wood "d" is from Magnolia Market from the show Fixer Upper on HGTV.

The custom sliding barn doors were made from standard interior doors and painted in a dark gray to match the custom cabinetry next to the fireplace.

This metal "D" was nailed and hung onto a scrap piece of wood from the fireplace. 

Stripes were added onto one wall in the bathroom for a focal point and interest.

Words can't even describe the joy I have about how this project turned out!!  Every detail came together perfectly.  I couldn't have designed this space without the help of the amazing homeowners.  They were so excited about helping on this project and put so many hours into helping me plan and design the space.  It turned out perfectly and I know they are going to enjoy this space with their family for years and years to come!

Yellow + Gray Modern Master Bath

i was so happy to hear from these past clients again after just successfully renovating their master bathroom en-suite.  i am always humbled to work with clients over and over throughout their lives and house decorating journey.  they did an amazing job selecting all the finishes, the vanities, and the paint color.  but they ran out of steam after the long renovation and needed my help to complete the space with the smaller finishing details that really complete a space. i knew this already gorgeous space was going to be an easy transformation with just the right pieces.  upon seeing the space, the bathroom was tranquil, cool grays and whites.  however, the homeowner wanted me to add some splashes of color to the space so that it didn't seem too sterile (even though i liked the simplicity of just the white and gray).  she left the color scheme up to me and after finding some great bath towels from Target, i decided to use a gray + yellow color palette for the space.  a couple of requests for the space were shelves for displaying pretty objects (there isn't a lot of areas to decorate in a bathroom) and a clock somewhere in the space (for keeping track of time in the morning while getting ready), among the other needs of a bathroom.  i love how the bathroom really feels like a luxurious spa with the finishes they chose, and the few splashes of yellow bring a brightness + cheeriness to the space!  see more of the beginning design scheme here.
