My dining room - rustic chic idea board

We desperately need a bigger dining room table, and I decided that if we are getting a new table, we need new chairs, and if we get new chairs we need a new light fixture, and if we get a new light fixture then we need new artwork, etc...and voila, a new dining room idea board was created!

Here is what I put together, I call it rustic chic:

I think it is a little bit rustic (table), a little bit glam (chandelier), a little bit organic (ocean photograph and moss), a little bit adult (arm chair) and a little bit kid friendly (acrylic side chair), which all adds up to a simply beautiful dining room for my family and friends!

I will keep you posted on the progress!

A client's guest room

A client asked me to spruce up her guest room. In her words, her room is a hodge-podge of things, and wants it to look fresh and put together.

Here is an idea "mood" board I put together for her:

My starting off point was using the color navy blue, which was inspired by the deep blue color of the ocean that can been seen looking out the windows of this room and then I added a little citrine and turquoise to provide that fresh feel my client wants. I also wanted to have contrast in the room, white with navy blue, and natural with shiny gold/brass items, both of which give a nod to the ocean/beachy theme without being too literal. In addition, I wanted the main elements of the room, like wall color, bed, and night stands, to be neutral, so that if she ever wants a different look, she could change the accent items, like the decorative pillows and blanket, for a quick, relatively inexpensive fix.

Master Bedroom - It's time for a change to neutral

It's high time to update my master bedroom. I want a peaceful, calming and relaxing room (don't we all?). Here are two rooms that have the look I am craving:

Love This Life

HGTV

Based on those beautiful rooms, here is a mood board I created for my master bedroom. I will keep you updated on my progress!
