Monday Redesign: Nursery

Posted March 1, 2010 by deb under Space Redesigns

Is it Monday already again? Seriously!  Where do the weekends go?  I hope you had an enjoyable one and were able to spend time with family and friends, or take a break, or get some projects done around the house.   Or do whatever you love to do on your weekends.  We spent the weekend with family and friends and resting after all the craziness that’s been going on around us.  Traveling really takes it out of me and I seem to pay for it for weeks.  Anyone else?  Today I thought I would share a little bit of fun and a little bit of serene in this nursery redesign.

And now for a break down of the goodies.

1. It all started with this cute polka dot bedding that I found at Land of Nod {which is Crate & Barrel’s kids line– they have cute, cute stuff!!}  This bedding has a more boy feel to it so I started planning the room to lean a little more boy.
2. I love having inspiring pieces that have some educational value on the wall of a nursery.  I found this ABC wall art over at Etsy– and it comes in many different colors so it would work for any room.
3. I really love this rug and am tempted to buy it for my son’s room.  It doesn’t have a cheesy nursery feel to it, and should be able to grow with you over time.
4. And of course your need a great glider in the nursery for those late nights.  I love the high back on this chair and it’s clean look.
5. And you may recognize this light from an earlier post.  I can easily say I’ve fallen in love with it.  I love the color pop it adds to the room.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this fun nursery design.  What fun things have you been working on lately?

Monday Redesign: Living Room

Posted February 15, 2010 by deb under Space Redesigns

Happy Monday everyone! Hope the weekend treated you well.  I’ve been spending the weekend in Utah and it’s been absolutely wonderful.  I even had a chance to go skiing with my husband for an early Valentine’s Day getaway.  I couldn’t have asked for anything more.  The snow was perfect!

Later this week, I will be able to soak up a little sun in Houston as I go to Mom 2.0 Summit.  Are you going?  Erin and I both attended the conference last year and it was incredible.  I hope to see you there!

Without further adieu, I give you Monday’s Redesign.  It all started with this tangerine chair.  I love the color and the look of this chair.

And now for a break down of the rest of the goodies:

1.  This sleek and modern sofa is a perfect match for this room.  I love the color of it and how it compliments the tangerine chair. These great pillows (here and here) bring in the color palette of the rest of the space.

2.  I love the texture and natural look of this rug.  It does a great job of bringing the entire room together.

3.  I love this white table and the contrast it provides against the tangerine chair.

4.  The tangerine chair.  No explanation needed. 

5.  A lamp next to the chair would be perfect for reading and providing extra light in the room.

6.  I love the pattern of this wall art and think it would perfect placed over the sofa.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this redesign.  If you need any help or opinions in planning your space, check out our services here.  Tell me,  what do you have planned for the week?

Monday Redesign-Summer Inspired

Posted January 11, 2010 by erin under Space Redesigns

Plenty of us are trying desperately to find any resemblance of green in the frigid temperatures and vast amounts of snow we’ve been getting!  I wanted something bright and warm for today’s redesign:

1. Amy Butler fabric: Trumpet Flowers in Emerald for some beautiful full length curtains.

2. Wall Paint and Ceiling Paint from Sherwin Williams – Wall: SW 7028Incredible White Ceiling: SW6702 Lively Yellow.  Yep, Keep white on the walls, and add some fun color on the ceiling with the beautiful summery yellow-green!

3. Feelin’ Groovy Carpet tiles from Flor-These are easily changed out so if purple isn’t quite your thing, try a white or lime green.

4. Recycled Timber Multi Frame by MarkMay-Loving the more rustic feel and the warmth this frame provides with all the more bright, modern colors.

5. Karlstad Sofa with Chaise from IKEA-Keep it a neutral soft white and let the accent pillows and other colors be the main focus.

6. Accent Pillows from coordinating Amy Butler fabric: Bali Gate and Stone Path.  Add some pop to the white sofa with these beautiful fabrics!

Monday Redesign: Cozy & Modern Bedroom

Posted December 7, 2009 by deb under Space Redesigns

Happy Monday everyone!  Snow is falling on the ground here.  It’s beautiful!  {And cold}.  I want nothing more than to snuggle with my little one curled on the couch today.  So here is a bedroom redesign with modern and cozy tones.

And now for a break down of the goodies:

1. This is one of my favorite color palettes.  It’s very neutral and timeless.  And I love green.  Green is refreshing and easy on the eyes.  It promotes an energy comfort, peace and balance in a room… which is so perfect for the bedroom.  I suggest painting the walls this olive green color from Diamond Vogel.  It’s called Sandalwood Tan (8479).  If you don’t have a Diamond Vogel near you and would like the color specifics, just give me a shout.
2. This bed from Crate and Barrel is simple and perfect and fits the bill too.  Isn’t it lovely?
3. And the bedding on top from 2 Modern fits with the color palette perfectly.
4. I love this chair from Room & Board.  It fits perfectly in this bedroom.  It adds texture and is visually stimulating.
5. This framed sea fan would be a great compliment to the room above the chair, nestled in a corner of the bedroom.
6. A set of these lamps on matching end tables on each side of the bed would help balance the room and also give extra lighting when you need it.
7. And these sheer white drapes help the room feel cozy, light and airy.

Monday Redesign: Amy’s Bathroom

Posted November 16, 2009 by deb under Space Redesigns

Remember Amy’s bathroom that we reviewed on Friday? Well I’m here to start this Monday off with a Redesign for her. And I’m pretty excited too, because I really love this color palette. Here’s a mood board of the goodies:

And now for a breakdown:

1. The wall color I choose is Nomadic Desert SW6107 by Sherwin Williams.  It should be light enough that you don’t see any streaks on the walls after the children have taken a bath.
   
2. This vinyl flooring is from Armstrong and I love the deep and rich colors.  Doesn’t it give such a great foundation to the room?  It can be found at Home Depot or Lowe’s.
3. I love this shower curtain from Walmart and how it ties the whole color palette together.  I know what you’re thinking…. “but we don’t even have a shower”.  I know, I know, but stick with me on this one.  It will help tie the room together and make it look more polished.  And nothing is easier than closing the curtain and leaving all the children’s toys in the tub rather than cleaning them up.
4. I recommend getting a new clean white top for your vanity.  But before you put it on, I recommend stripping the vanity cabinet and mirror and staining it in a darker color to give the bathroom a more modern feel.
5. Then add some modern lighting like this from Target.  This will make the entire bathroom feel different.
6. Who doesn’t love new, plush towels?  Well, I am adding some chocolate brown towels to accent the new look of the bathroom.
7. Above the toilet, I would add some boxes.  You can either get them at cb2 or make your own by purchasing some blocks from your local craft store and painting them.

Amy, I hope you enjoy your redesign and the look of your new bathroom!  Thanks for giving me the opportunity to help you out.
