My first bathroom project


My step-mom asked me to re-do her upstairs bathroom. She wanted a updated look and something a little outside of her comfort. I decided to strip the wall of its original peach color and settled on a off-white tone.  We had the ceiling painted in a darker color to bounce off the new painted cabinetry (painted by yours truly).  Most of the budget went towards the traditional style rug and the Restoration Hardware glass knobs (fancy!!!).  I love glass jars filled with stuff! I had the idea of lavender soap bars and sponges. This is now a traditional chic bathroom made for a Mr & a Mrs. See photos below.

Men's Bedroom

I was so excited to partner up with a good friend of mine to revamp his bedroom. I proposed the idea of decorating his bedroom during a time he was ready to update his living place.  I figured it was worth a shot to test out my decor capabilities on someone that wanted a new look.  This project was a great challenge for me, I never worked with a male client before or a "man room" for that matter.

For his space, I had this idea of deep hues, dark walls, and subtle pops of color.  I wanted the space to look masculine, sophisticated, and mature; see photos below.







Orange storage boxes go POP!


 Chevron print pillows in royal blue and white, these really stood out against the navy bedding.



I bet you're curious to see what the room looked like before! It was all white everything! Totally boring... here it is.


Total Re-Vamp! My client was extremely happy!! He's since asked me to work on his second bedroom! Stay tuned.
