College Girl's Home Bedroom

Harvey has past.  We have done nearly every space in this home.  Now that Marissa is in college, she can now come home to a beautiful room that is exactly her taste. 

Marissa loves all things feathers.  Her favorite outfit is athletic wear in mostly black with a pop of color.  This blush pink is one of her favorite colors.  With all of that in mind, we opted for what we called our "Kate Spade Inspired Room". 

We first found a deal on this Kate Spade comforter set that met all of the requirements then did some mimicking on the accessories pulling together a cohesive look.  We love the outcome!






Thanks for stopping by!!

Peroxy Chem Bay Area


Entering from the Lobby, this is the first focal point leading to the main Conference Room.


Company values are freshly made into canvas art and lighted with track lighting on a dramatic darker color of the main hall way color.


We will share complete shots of the entry once carpet has arrived and custom art.  Here is a peek of how is came out:


We added a Mid Century Modern Chandelier:


We added lots of new art to help break of the long hallways. ♥♥♥
















More to come.  Thanks for stopping by.

Harvey Flood Victim Outcome

This home was torn out about 2 feet and sheetrock replaced.  We helped the client choose paint colors and completely style the home using pre-owned furniture, adding a few smaller pieces of furniture to complete the look.

Arhaus Mood Selections

We were happy when Arhaus headquarters asked us to design some of my ideas using one of their sectional sofas.  We came up with two ideas for them.  The first:  I often ask my clients "Do you have a vacation spot you love that you would love to bring that same feeling into your design space?"  So, design one is using that concept.

Mood/design two is really my favorite!  This would be the classy woman that desires a very elegant space that reflects her style of sophistication and a desire for comfort and elegance.

Eclectic

This was the home I entitled "Eclectic" because we used a mix of components.  Here is a little peak of one the venues we styled.  I scored big when I found this cow hide tray!  I could not pass it up. When shopping for clients, I love when I find that "one" unique item and make it part of the entire scheme of things.  I love the mirrored bottom.

Reviews


Donna just has the knack for decorating.  I spent years trying to figure out a good arrangement for my furniture and accessories and Donna whipped it out in minutes.  I can pick out pieces but it does take a professional to put it all together.  I would highly suggest giving her a try!  Very pleased with her work.

I enjoyed each experience that Donna worked with us on our home.  She really listened to our ideas, enhanced them with her own expertise and helped us to create rooms we love.
Her ability to stay within budget without compromising the looks we were after was simply amazing. Donna made the process fun and enjoyable!  I look forward to using her again to help us keep things fresh.  
Thankful, Kimberly Sciscoe

Donna,
You have out done yourself.  Everything was perfect:  the colors and all of the personal touches made it all very special.  Even though we worked long distance on the project, you pulled everything together beyond what I could have imagined.  I loved everything you did in the design, but I think my favorite thing was the pillow covers, the fabric was amazing and I know how hard you worked on making each and every one.  You are so talented and we were blessed to have you decorate for a very special occasion.  Thank you for everything.  We have memories to last forever!

Donna has done several projects for me over the past few months and has done an incredible job. From my boutique closet, kitchen and living area, I could not be more pleased.  She is very easy to work with and listens to my input as well.  Having a "new eye" and someone to think of things that I haven't thought of is great.  Donna is very talented and I highly recommend her!

Donna took mercy on me after I told her of my many talents, decorating was not one of them.  In under an hour she positioned my furniture in the living room, creating a spacious affect I didn't think was possible.  A few sessions later, I have a warm, inviting home that the entire family loves!  We are proud to call this home!

I really love my new room makeover!  I feel like I'm in a new room.  Thanks Donna for a  job well done.  I just really didn't know how to place everything for that special look.  I'll surely recommend you to everyone.

Donna has helped me decorate two rooms now.  I am completely satisfied!  She got me very organized and helped me make decisions.  (I have a hard time with decisions).  She assured me it would be great in the end no matter which decision I made.  She was right.  She showed me where to start and kept me focused which I needed help with also.  She shopped for me, sent pictures to narrow down our shopping later.  My house now represents me and feels wonderful to be in.  Everyone that comes in is thoroughly impressed.  They say it looks like a room out of a magazine.  The price was so worth it.  I will use her every time I decorate.  She has a talent I just don't have.

I'm not sure where to begin, but to tell you that I'm extremely pleased with Donna's decorating. When Donna came to my house and looked around and told me she would get back with me in a couple of days and we would go shopping.  I loved shopping with her.  We went to several stores and she picked out many different items that I would have been too scared to buy, but I had faith in her.

She came to my house and started working miracles.  It was so natural for her to put items together that I would have never thought about.  Her style made my house look unique.  One of my favorite things she created was my collage of crosses on my living room wall.  I just sit on my couch and look at them along with the other decorations in my living room.

Her touch made the room so warm and welcoming.  Now I look forward to coming home and relaxing in my living room.

Donna also put her personal touch in my kitchen.  She was so good at putting different things together to make it look like "my kitchen".  She asked me questions about how my family functions and then she decorated around our needs.  It's nice to be in the kitchen now that it is functional and decorative.

Mid Century Modern Office Makeover



We were very happy to take on the challenge of this office located 15 minutes from the Galleria area.

With a new space plan, improved lighting in the existing can and florescent fixtures, this space instantly started moving towards a much more functional and balanced space.





Below, was the first view of this office when entering.  As you can see, the large printer was the main focal point.  This is actually a pretty small office with a lot of furniture pieces and the space plan was just not balanced.




Here is a pano view of the newly designed space. Just to the left of the tall bookcases will be a new MCM channeled barrel chair in the tangerine color.  It will soften this once dark colorless office space.  Now, the space plan and decor has life and is much more functional, balanced and pleasing.










This Matisse art piece became our inspiration for the entire space.  Note, we pulled out some of the colors in this art.








Maintenance still will be coming to touch up paint and repair any old nail holes.  We are also adding a basket to house cords to make a bit more discreet.  






Thank you Gracie for allowing me to post photos of your makeover!
