I recently completed a front room online design for a client in California.

She wanted the space to be elegant, practical, and unique.

Since her floors are a red/orange mexican tile, I balanced the space with cool tones.

Accents of blue ground the room while ethnic inspired textiles and accessories compliment the architecture of the home.

I also provided the client with a simple floor plan detailing the design for the space.

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

She was a dream client!

Now we are working on her living room.

I’ll share the details soon 🙂

Hi there! I am Courtney from A Thoughtful Place. I was thrilled when Danielle asked me to come and hang out at her blog. I am always amazed at how textiles can transform a space. It’s been so much fun reading this series. I love pattern and mixing them up. I think you will see that in most of my images. What is so great about textiles is that with a relatively neutral background, you can change up a room instantly with new pops of color and fabrics.

In the master bedroom, I wanted to use a crisp white backdrop for the bedding and only infuse a bit of color and sparkle with the pillow.

The monochromatic color scheme gets a dose of texture with the drapes, pillow, and throw.

In our dining room, the stripe drapes add a little bit of drama to an otherwise neutral space.

In our living room, I am having fun mixing patterns and using pops of color. As you can see I am on a teal kick right now!

A black and white damask material was used in the cabinet and on the window to give some life to our very used laundry room!

Our daughter LOVES pink. With the monochromatic color scheme in her room, I chose to mix things up by using lots of different patterns.

And lastly, in our family room I have used textiles once again to add a pop of color and to warm things up with heavy throws and patterned pillows.

Danielle, thanks so much for having me! I hope you enjoyed a look into how textiles are hard at work in our home.

They add the right amount of spice to her dining room, I love them.

Since I just finished my new nightstands, I am selling my old ones.

I am also selling 2 of these chairs.

They need to be sanded, painted, and re-upholstered but have lots of potential.

Contact me if you are interested!

My nightstands are SO close to being finished.

I stained and polyurethaned them yesterday.

It’s official, I don’t like staining.

I still need to finish putting together the drawers.

I attached the fronts and got too excited to wait.

I HAD to immediately put it in my bedroom.

Now it’s time to decide on hardware.

I stopped into Silver Star Hardware, a-m-a-z-i-n-g Salt Lake City hardware store, and picked up a couple of options.

The top left is very similar to the one used on Aubrey & Lindsey’s side table.

I LOVE it, although I think mine is a little small.

If I go that direction, I think I will just order the same ones they used.

which one is your favorite?
