I recently completed this online family room design.

My client wanted a neutral color scheme with pops of color.

She was super easy to work with and I think the end result was perfect for her room.

I always ask my clients to send me inspiration pictures of spaces they like.

When she saw this image I posted from Trad Home, she fell in love.

This inspiration picture gave me a great starting point for the design.

I knew I needed to create a space using natural materials, light colors, and pops of graphic patterns.

Here is a picture of her space currently.

One of her biggest concerns was the niche above the fireplace.

She didn’t love it and needed an affordable solution.

I came across this simple and inexpensive solution from The Inspired Room.

A couple of painted cabinet doors will quickly cover up the niche and add some interest to the space.

I recommended hanging this port-hole mirror in the center of the doors to add a little modern flare to the mantel design.

Since it is not permanent solution, it can easily be changed up for each season.

Here is an example of Melissa’s winter mantel, so versatile.

I can’t wait to see this design come to life!

Today I am over at LeBaron Interiors participating in her Designer Tip Tuesday Series!

I am discussing the importance of designer fabrics!

See you over there!

I noticed a theme in the latest issue of Lonny Magazine, white walls!

White walls accented with bold patterns and color, I love it.

I can’t get enough of it!

Are you a fan of white walls?

 It is no secret that my mom has great style.

I absolutely love her house, you can see a tour of it here.

She is constantly redesigning something in her home.

Her latest project is the back deck.

Last week she purchased two fantastic throw pillows from Home Goods. 

I love the orange and blue combo, perfect for an outdoor space.

We are now on the hunt for the perfect outdoor mirror for above the fireplace, something that will pop.

She quickly threw together this furniture arrangement with outdoor pieces she already owned.

Although it looks pretty good, she wanted a place to lounge.

This loveseat was just not cutting it.

I immediately suggested doing an outdoor daybed.

I love the look, function, and practicality of them.

And the best part, you get to load them with yummy textiles!

This lumbar pillow for Pottery Barn will be the perfect floral for the space.

And will look great paired with a couple of these light blue pillows.

Wouldn’t it be fun to add this graphic beauty to the mix?

I can’t wait to see it complete!

Is anyone else working hard on finishing their outdoor spaces?
