Master Bathroom Reveal!

Collaborating on this master bath renovation with the homeowner was such a satisfying project to see it finally come to completion! The goal was to take the existing master bathroom and renovate it to also include a upstairs laundry room for this beautiful family. My husband and contractor Briant General Contracting completed the installation of my design and all of us could not be happier with the results!

Master Bedroom Reveal!

This is just a tease but I wanted to share it anyway, I will be back with more photos very soon. Hope you enjoy the fresh take on a french country master retreat!

Budget Friendly Kitchen Update!

Kitchen renovations can be done on a budget and achieve an overall new and fresh vibe! I worked on updating this kitchen on a small budget of $3500. The decision was made to purchase a mix of used and new appliances, removing some and painting the existing cabinets, tile back splash, honed marble counter tops, undermount sink, faucet and new door with trim and paint! We had custom end panels built and new crown molding installed to create a more custom look and to have the refrigerator have that built in look. We chose Wetstone Gray by Martha Stewart for the lower cabinets and Cabinetcoat White for the upper cabinets. I am pretty happy with end result and feels like a brand new kitchen! Sorry I only have a couple of photos below...

Office Reveal Today!

Today I am sharing a recent office design that is now complete! It was such a fun project to work on and we could not be happier with the results! My initial design plan suggested this soft aqua grass cloth which was initially resisted by my client because it not a color she has been drawn to in the past. But after further discussion and visiting additional options, she agreed to go with the my original suggestion. This is a common series of discussions when working with clients and it is such an enjoyable aspect of interior design.

We started actually with the amazing desk found on One King Lane. We had to snap up the desk before it was sold out and we used it as the basis of the design plan. The plan included the beautiful built-ins, raised paneling and window seat which incorporates functional file drawers and extra storage built and installed by my hubby Adam Briant of Briant General Contracting. After all, this is  an office that needs to be practical but beautiful as well!

Hope you love these after shots as much as we do!

Have a wonderful week and thanks for reading!

Bonus Room Reveal!

Over the past year I have worked on a few projects that have finally reached completion and I am ready to share them! My clients recently moved into their new home and had a very large bonus room above the garage that they wanted to turn into a coastal retreat for their family to relax in. The clients have 2 boys and wanted the fabrics that were used on the upholstery to be stain resistant yet beautifully comfortable. Their preference was a navy sectional sofa and all the fabrics that we decided on were Sunbrella fabrics for easy wear and tear. 

The final results!

The carpeting and ceiling fan are the only remaining item in the room that we began with. Applied moldings were added to the wall, rustic ceiling beams were installed, custom size sea grass rug was made, designer fabrics were sewn into pillows and on the upholstered chairs and sofa and the vintage rattan card table & chairs found on a local website all come together so nicely in this beautiful room. Again this a true blend of high and low end furnishings that make the room easy to live in and relax. The accessories were added by my client, didn't she do an amazing job!

Lovin' One Kings Lane ART!!

I was perusing OKL today for some artwork and I thought there was quite a few great options for the modern girl in you and more on the traditional side as well. They are all still available but maybe not for long. You should pop over to take a look!

Beautiful Room of the Day!

I have come across this room before and it always stops me in my tracks! The skillful use of color makes this room inviting and just gears me up for autumn colors and the cozy feel of crisp air like we are having this morning in NJ!
