client bedroom update

i blogged about this bedroom over the summer. we are still not totally finished.... i want to add some yummy throws and more tchatchkas (i like to use this word for accessories:)). but i decided to go ahead and get some better photos of it. i am no professional photographer as i have said before, but i think you can get a better feel of how the room is turning out.

here is a before photo...

 and here is the after....

it looks pretty doesnt it? there are still no photos in the frames above the chairs....but there will be soon! as i explained before, my client wanted a very warm and neutral palette with a little bit of shimmer. she wanted to use her existing furniture, so we mostly just added soft furnishings. we did order one custom entertainment piece for the room, but i didnt get a good photo of it this time. we also decided to layer a rug on top of the carpet...which i think works very well sometimes. in this instance it really helped define the  two areas of the bedroom.

i took a lot more photos! so of course i am going to show them. this way you can see more of the details in the room.....

thanks for letting me share! i love when a project is almost complete...and everyone is happy. i am off today to finish up the nursery i have been working on. i will be sure to share more on that too.

progress is good

well i had good intentions. i promised to post almost finished photos of my clients bedroom.  however when i got there i realized how much more work there really is to do! so i thought i would show you some "in progress" photos of what we are up to. then at a later date....i will post the real afters.

my client wanted her master bedroom to be a very calming place where she and her husband could relax. in the rest of their home she uses a lot of reds and golds and greens. so in here we decided to go with a very neutral palette with just a hint of blueish/green (this color was a total departure for her!).

these photos are of the bare bones of the room...there is no layering yet...

here is a view of the daybed which works perfectly in this space because it does not block their beautiful view. their three dogs used to love to lay on the previous sofa. my client is trying to keep them off of this new piece (with three nice dog beds). but for those times that they just cant help themselves...we covered the daybed in a durable microsuede. the color is mocha, although it is hard to see.

here are the comfy chairs  and ottoman we put in the room...the chairs swivel so it is easy to look towards the tv. her husband was in the middle of hanging those frames when i took this, so there are more to come. they are going to be filled with black and white family photos. the new pharmacy lamp is waiting for its mate and the chairs are waiting for their pillows!

here is a very pretty custom piece we had made for the tv to hang over and then all of the components will be inside. the finish on this is soooooo pretty in person.

and one last photo of the beautiful sconces we put over their bedside tables. this picture does not do them justice!

well...there you have it. its always nice to see progress...right?  i am so pleased with how the room is turning out. when we are really done....i will be taking my husband with me to get some good photos!

have a wonderful holiday weekend! it is beautiful here and we are off to a friends wedding. i volunteered to decorate the venue for her (with lots of help)....so i will be sure to post photos of that!

back on track

the kids and i took a week long vacation to visit family and friends last week. it was so nice and relaxing...but now it is time to get back on track. the kids started camp today, so now i can focus on work (and blogging:)). tomorrow i am meeting with my client about her master bedroom and we are almost finished. this has been such a nice project to work on and my client is so happy! i am hoping to get some good photos tomorrow to show you some "afters".

for now here are the fabrics we are incorporating into the room. they helped to create the warm and relaxing getaway that my client was after...

i will be sure to post some photos of the finished (almost!) product later this week!
