Ihave 2 favorite parts about working in homes. First, the collaboration + teamwork necessary to make any project a success. And second, seeing transformations occur and the joy (and often relief) it brings to my clients. In this case, a double salon was initially used as an office + living room space. It was then converted into a bedroom for 2 sisters but lacked a cohesive sense of design + flow for the family.

By dividing the room into 2 zones (sleeping + playing), we were able to create an inspiring space. My client and I worked together to declutter the entire room, remove furniture and create a new plan for the space. She and her husband then followed through with all the elements, including building some of the furniture (including the white desk, and a pull-out bed for guests under the bunk bed). Here’s to collaboration!

In this case, a creative client had a number of ideas for her daughter’s nursery but she didn’t know where to begin.  The nursery would be in her home office and she had purchased a huge mirror (coup d’coeur) and didn’t know how to incorporate into the overall plan.  Could she keep such a massive piece in a baby’s room?  She had also made a colorful and awesome mobile to hang somewhere.  She was eager to have a “succulents” theme and integrate some artwork that she had collected for the baby.  And she wanted the room to feel relaxing + inspiring.

Before

Together, we created the overall design for the room–where we would place the larger objects and where we would add accents + color. We we went shopping around her home, finding pieces that she could repurpose in new ways.  By adding copper fairy lights to the mirror and creating a breastfeeding/reading area in front, the mirror became an unusual and gorgeous touch to a sophisticated yet accessible nursery.

After

She texted later to say, “Merci TELLEMENT pour ton aide. J’étais vraiment bloquée … maintenant tout est ci claire!  Best nursery ever!”  I loved working with her on this project!
