My office is finally finally complete! For whatever reason I was have having the hardest time visualizing this space into something I would be happy with. I just had a creative brain freeze for a while. One day I was standing in the doorway to this room, staring at a half finished space and all at once the ideas started to come. My office doubles as our guest room so I needed a way to incorporate a bed. This is probably what was throwing me off to begin with. Anyway, I got this idea for a custom daybed. With a daybed I could dress it up like a “couch” when we don’t have visitors but it’s a comfy queen sized bed when it needs to be. I called my furniture maker extraordinaire and told her my concept. I picked this bright teal velvet fabric and literally drew the design on a piece of ... [Read More]
My Office Design
The Modern/Mid-Century Family Room
The job was to turn this family room into a space that this family would actually want to spend time in it. Seemed simple enough. It also helps that they were super cool clients and totally open to a modern design with a mid-century twist. Simplicity, clean lines and lots of texture and textiles. The design is minimal yet warm. For paint, I wanted to add some drama by painting a few walls black. Not everyone is open to the idea of black walls so I was super excited when they agreed! We went with Caviar by Sherwin Williams and Repose gray for the surrounding walls to make sure the space was still bright and inviting. I also opted to have the built in entertainment cabinet painted black to cover up the drab gray that was there before. This new modular sectional by FourHands was the ... [Read More]
Master Bedroom Design
Almost three years ago Charlie and I purchased this house. One of the conditions from him was that I NOT change the master bedroom. He clearly really liked it how it was. I wanted the house so badly that I agreed (fully knowing that I would slowly mind trick him into letting me re-do it at some point) Anyway, here we are all these years later and my power of persuasion has finally worked. It became sort of a joke in our house and everytime we had guests over we'd walk them into the bedroom and wait to hear if they were "Team Charlie" (Keep it just the way it was) or "Team Kelly" (tear it all out as fast as possible). To my surprise it was pretty 50/50. But who cares, in the end I won *Insert evil laugh here* So, the gladiator (are those gladiators?) wallpaper came down and this stunning ... [Read More]
Clubhouse renovation – The final result!
Hi guys, I know its been a minute since my last post. The truth is, all the design work has kept me so busy that finding time to blog about what I’ve been up to had been put on the back burner. Well, It’s a new year and one of my goals is to get back to it. I'll have all my projects photographed and actually post the before and after pictures. After all, that’s the sweetest part isn’t it? I’ll also be expanding on the great web and adding a brand new website which is coming this February so be on the lookout for that. One of my big projects last year was renovating the clubhouse for an apartment complex here in Las Vegas. The before and after pictures are dramatic and I’m thrilled with the final result. So this is where we started. Basking in it's 1980s glory. Yikes right? It ... [Read More]
Fun Holiday Decorating
Hi you guys, doesn't holiday decorating make you feel so warm and kind of like drinking hot chocolate? So... this year I may have had a little too much fun at Hobby Lobby Something inside me was telling me that I needed a tree decorated entirely with food themed ornaments. Why? Well, something about making this holiday season a little silly sounded really fun. So I raided the shelves and took home every single food ornament I could find. I also knew that I definitely wanted a sparse "Charlie Brown" style tree so I could see my fun ornaments dandling. The result? Pure perfection (if you ask me). The tree came from Christmas Central and it's really pretty. It's exactly what I was envisioning. I accented the rest of the house with fun accessories, simple white and gold wrapping paper ...
