Bachelor Pad Living Room Project: Before + After

Bachelor Pad Living Room Project: Before + After

If you’ve been following along with my design projects, you know a good chunk of last year was taken up with my bachelor pad project. We started with a completely empty house (the client literally just had a mattress!) and we transformed it into the coolest and coziest bachelor pad around! The living room is the centerpiece of the home and probably my favorite space. We added some built-in shelving on each side of the fireplace that really pulled the whole room together (shelving was done by Miller Team Renovations). This client wanted a mix of modern and masculine for the space (leathers and neutrals) but also for everything to be comfortable and practical! I love how the space pulled together and think it will be stylish and functional for years to come. Check out some before and after photos as well as shopping links for the items we used below!

Minimal Spa-Like Master Bedroom Makeover

Here’s a sneak peek of a project I am currently finishing up. This super minimal and chic master bedroom makeover is giving me all the spa-like vibes! This client knew exactly what she wanted, which made my job super easy. I have never done such a simple, minimal design before but I really loved the process. One of the biggest challenges for the space was choosing the right white paint color that would coordinate with the existing trim color which was a little darker beige. Before all the walls in this house were a very pale yellow (very 90’s- check out the before photos below) and we are slowly changing them room by room. Keeping the trim color as-is is a huge money saver in the long run, especially since the actual paint was still in good condition.

Fall Kitchen Tour 2019

I’m excited to share my newly refreshed fall kitchen! I recently stripped down this entire space- all wall decor and curtains, and have been moving towards a more modern and minimal style in here overall. I’m still wanting to update my rugs and a few other things, but I already am loving the updates. Along those same lines, I kept the fall decor in here very neutral and simple this year. Lots of black and white, mixing textures, and simple, natural accessories. I always love styling the open shelving and fireplace area in particular.
