We don’t do emergency decorating very often but when one of our favorite realtors asked to help out this young family with an imminent addition off we went. See the blog post on how we transformed a dated family room into multi use space for this growing family. Link in the bio.

The climbing roses are about to bloom… can’t wait.

Dentil molding was all the rage in Fairfield County in the 70s and 80s. I’d say about 80% of homes we visit has this type of fireplace. And of course I’ll do away with them creating something more modern and functional.

Not as quick as HGTV makes it seem but well built to keep up with the three cutest boys ever. They are enthusiastically given thumbs up to any of my ideas! 😄😍 More to come!

Progress shot from our Country Club Rd project. One more coat but it’s already gorgeous. The stress starts melting off bit by bit as we get closer toward the completion.

This foyer was pretty dark and didn’t have much of a personality. Foyer should welcome you in and give you a glimpse into the family who lives there. Painted floors, burlap wallpaper and sisal rugs warmed the space up considerably.

Main bath from our Keeler’s project. While I don’t like to use marble in the kitchens, I love the quiet luxe vibe it gives in the baths. Gorgeous polished nickel hardware plays well with this beautiful veining.

With so many mishaps, delays, damaged product, we really had to step up quality control. Didn’t mind the early visit when we were able to pick out the best 3 out of 5. Can’t wait to see these babies installed!

Some bunny loves you, always remember that. Hope you are all feeling safe and loved. Here’s to spring and hope!

Progress shots from our Ridgefield Rd man cave project. Unearthed a ton of tequila! Glad he’ll have storage for his collection. Gots to say there are some really beautiful tequila bottles!

In non-design news, I overwintered the gardenias in the breakfast room and had hoped it bloomed by Christmas. I did get buds but they all dropped off. Several are now opening, however. Love love the scent.

Mixing colors and textures resulted in a very cozy living room.
