...With a truckload of furniture for the house. Our clients completely and completely renovated their home so it could better suit their family's needs without increasing its footprint at all. They were able to remove an unneeded living room to increase their kitchen & dining rooms and the family room is now their main living room. They moved out for the summer while the renovation took place and have just now moved back in.
My client looooooves color and wouldn't you know her favorite is also my favorite:

We had our workroom -Paul David Design- create a new beautiful mitered top out of an indoor-outdoor fabric for the family room.
She loves green & was looking for a comfortable, happy and FUN vibe in her home. Her husband is more traditional while she leans a little more towards the modern/colorful end of the spectrum so we ended up with a sort of "funky" Traditional that's perfect for the family. Our clients fell in love with their home because of its large big-treed yard, so we really wanted to bring all of that green inside and kick it up a notch.
Here's the living room palette:
The furniture is a mix of new upholstery and casegoods mixed in with family antiques & vintage pieces.
We had lots of fun taking risks and I looove their apple green front door:
We did a massive pair of botanicals for high-impact in the dining room:
I hung family photos in a gallery wall and Paul & Nancy (of Paul David Design) handled the larger items like the mirrors and botanicals. Meghan (my assistant) ran around like a madwoman (in a good way :) helping to get it all done in time. Our client was out of the house for most of the day and at 5:00 we toured it with the family for the big reveal. It was so much fun!!
In the end we were all thrilled with how the house turned out. I'm insanely lucky to have the all of the wonderful clients I have and this family is really incredibly special. The kids were already breaking in the chess table we found for them.
...And Lizzy was breaking in the chairs:

When we're completely finished & Helen takes photos, I'll be sure to share "after" pictures. Hope you had a great day & thanks so much to everyone for all of the great childcare advice. We're in the process of finding a nanny now so I'll keep you posted!!
And also thank you so much to my clients!! (You are amazing.)
