glam dining spaces

Sorry I have been so MIA lately - lots going on over here!

I have been extremely busy with new client work lately and thought I would share some of my inspirations for a space.  I am working with a client on making her dining room feel a bit more glamorous.  She originally used it as a play room for her children, but now that they are a little older, she wants to turn the room back into what it was meant to be and begin entertaining more!

Here is what we are looking at.

One thing is for sure, there will definitely be one beautiful chandelier in the space!

sunday inspirations - spring fever

I think spring fever is starting to set in for me.  Everything I have been drawn to lately includes brights or light and airy spaces.  Since it doesn't seem like we are going to be getting Spring weather anytime soon, I'm left to just pull some inspiration images!

grey kitchen cabinets

It's no secret I love grey - it's my favorite neutral.  My latest obsession is grey kitchen cabinets.  A lot of people think that it might look cold or industrial, but it can really be just the opposite.

sunday inspiration

One of my latest projects includes a client's living room / family room area.  We are trying to keep the space feeling casual and comfortable, while still looking put together, without look stuffy!  They want to be able to entertain in these rooms, but have people feel like they can just curl up in a seat and relax without being afraid to sit down!

We are also using a neutral color palette that will work throughout the house. 

I've pulled a few inspirations to start us off.

grey wedding inspirations

Lately I've been spending my days surrounded by grey wedding details - putting together some fun proposals for amazing clients!  
Grey works great as an accent color, neutral, or even the base of the palette!

wallpaper inspiration

One of my new client's wants to wallpaper and accent wall and I am so excited!  I have a lot of clients who are just now taking down their wallpaper that they installed back in the 90s and want nothing to do with wallpaper, but a lot of my "young couple" clients are willing to try it out as an accent feature.  I've spent the last few days looking for inspiration and ideas.
These are some of my favorites!

What do you think of wallpaper?  Are you willing to put it up in your house?

glam bathroom

Today I'm all about the glamorous bathroom.  I received an e-mail from a new client who is looking for inspiration to help "glam up" her master bathroom.  Woohoo!  I'm always excited to work on projects that include a bit of glitter and sparkle (even if it's just in the form of a chandelier!).  Here are some of the initial inspirations I pulled to see how she reacts.

Happy Saturday!  

I'm in love with the whole look of this room - casual elegance.

friday notes

Happy Friday!  Since starting my business and planning a wedding, Friday and the weekend really have no affect on me anymore.  Friday nights / Saturdays and Sundays are just as busy, if not more, than the week!  It's safe to say I work 7 days week and if there was an 8th day, I'd still be working.  So much to do, so little time!  Truth is, I'm better when I'm busy - I'm a better worker, much more efficient - so I guess it's a bit of a blessing! 

Anyway, I've started on a few Valentine's Day projects - a few client parties and some styled shoots - and now I'm in the red and pink spirit! 

Here is a sneak peek into the beginning phase of a few mock-ups for 

a client's Valentine's Day cocktail party that I'm working on.
