Bachelor Pad Dining Room Project

Bachelor Pad Dining Room Project

If you’ve been following along this will be the first of many “bachelor pad” updates. This summer I’ve had the pleasure of designing this entire house from scratch and I have loved the challenge. This client bought this home with no furniture but a mattress. His style is very minimal and modern and I also wanted to keep it masculine at the same time. We’ve used a lot of industrial metals, rustic reclaimed wood, and leather fabrics throughout the home. The dining room setup we pulled together is very simple but fits the space perfectly.

Anthropologie Look for Less Bedroom

Today I’m sharing this recent guest bedroom makeover that I completed for a client this past week! We started with basically nothing except a plain bed and transformed the space into a cozy and layered bedroom that any guest would love to stay in. I think everyone covets that high-end and super cozy Anthropologie look especially in a bedroom, but not so much the price tag. I was able to copy the look for a quarter of the price using bedding and accessories from Target. Their new Opalhouse line in particular has a ton of Anthropologie inspired pieces. We also added these gorgeous nightstands and headboard from Wayfair which really anchor the room.

Preppy Pink Little Girl's Room

Last week I installed phase 1 of this sweet preppy girl’s room project that I have been working on. My client wanted to update her daughter’s bedroom and make it more of a “big girl” room. Her toddler bed was converted to a full size bed, so she needed all new bedding and bedside tables to go with it! We started by changing up the bedding, adding bedside tables and wall sconces, and new curtains. I’m in love with this gingham bedding which is so girly and fun, but also something she’ll be able to grow into and keep using for years to come. We are also planning on wallpapering the wall behind her bed and adding some more accessories and pillows as well to finish off the space.

Bright + Cozy Loft Makeover

    This past week I started wrapping up the final stages of a design project I've been working on for the past couple of months for one of my favorite clients.  The install day of all the finishing touches and accessories is always my favorite because it always makes the space feel the most complete and cozy!  This was my first time tackling a loft living space at the top of the stair like this and it was definitely challenging, but I love the (almost) finished product.  The main challenge was trying to make such an open space feel cozy and comfortable, as well as figuring out the right way to arrange the furniture when you are basically missing an entire wall of the room!
