Our Bronze Awarded Room…The “Befores” and “Afters”

As an interior designer in Kansas City, it is so humbling to have our firm’s work recognized.  Thank you, KC Magazine once again.

To follow is our bronze in the Living/Dining Room category.

These wonderful clients had a living room space with an awkward floor plan.  It was a long room with great windows and a magnificent view, but the room itself left something to be desired.  They wanted a sectional and great seating for entertaining.  Lighting was an issue in the evening.  She loved green so she and I decided to complement the outdoors and frame them with beautiful pieces with great lines.  The silhouettes in front of the windows needed to be sleeker pieces were what would make her happy.  All of the aging oak needed to be toned down a bit as well.

Our design solutions?

This new area for entertaining needed some wonderful color, softness and beauty so we played up the greens, added drapes up to the crown molding and some beautiful furnishings and accents.  The original oil was commissioned and is fun, unexpected and cuts the space perfectly.  For handsome silhouettes in front of the grand windows, natural sticks, a darling lamp with a semi-opaque glass body and a “tree” table base over marble were perfect.

They are both so thrilled now with their main living space.  It was great fun to help them take a room they had no feelings for and make it wonderful for them and their family to enjoy everyday.

Make it fab!

Dreamy Sofas I Really Love

These are a few of my favorite sofas.  What else can I say?  Look at them!  They each have wonderful curves and lines that would be perfect in the right space.  Their proportions are so handsome and their style is striking. I have seen all of these in person, of course, in their showrooms at the High Point Furniture and Accessory Market in High Point, North Carolina and wanted to share them with you.

It is always such a pleasure, too, to meet the designers of these great lines.  We always enjoy discussing our mutual passions:  great design.  With so many beautiful options in furnishings created by such talented people, it seems a shame to ever settle for less.   Wouldn’t you just love to melt into one of these sofas in your home or look at their beauty while share cocktails with friends?  I would love a Cosmo right now on one of these in an amazing fabric (that  looks great with what I am wearing, right, ha!) Enjoy!

Make it fab!
