If you’re looking for an easy way to update your house, color can quickly inject some life into your space. Two of the hottest shades this year, yellow and orange, bring to mind citrus and sunshine. This week, we wanted to give you a few, simple tips for each color. Whether you’re comfortable going bold or would prefer a neutral palette, there’s a way for you to bring these hues into your home.
Art Deco emerged as a style in the early 20th century. Optimistic, it reflected the sensibilities of the time. Think of women in fringed dresses with bobbed hair, champagne coupes and The Great Gatsby. It was a time filled with change and glamour.

After showing you a week’s worth of sexy suites, we invite you to take a look at one last design solution. In this show-stopping room…even the dog looks fancy.
So far, we’ve shown you some glammed up versions of master suites, but today, we wanted to share a softer side. Bathed in yellow, this sunny room is the perfect retreat for cold winter days. Read more »
To make a space feel special, the key is to pay attention to the details. Fresh flowers, soft bedding and spa features create feelings of luxury and decadence.
Don’t believe us? Just think of the first time you walked into a honeymoon suite.
In a lot of homes, the master bedrooms are the last spaces to receive any design attention. But in our eyes, they deserve so much more. When it comes to creating the perfect suite, we think the details matter so much. From the closet to the bed, we design retreats to support the homeowners’ love for each other.
As interior designers in Kansas City, we’re often asked to create a romantic retreat for our clients. Designing luxurious and sexy spaces is what we do best.
So, in the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating master suites this week. Each day, we’ll share gorgeous spaces that are designed to pamper. From glamorous to worldly, we’ve found a little something for everyone.
Whether you’ve found your Valentine or are on a quest for love, these rooms are sure to inspire romance.
Tune in every day this week to see some beautiful master bedrooms. We can’t wait to hear which ones are your favorites. Feel free to drop us a note on Facebook and let us know what you like.
It was an amazing evening.
I was shocked as my new business partner, Carmen Thomas and I, kept hearing my name over and over at the Design Excellence Awards by KC Magazine. I am flattered beyond flattered and oh, so humbled. It is such a joy to have my work, time, effort, ideas and dreams recognized. No one knows how much work an interior designer REALLY does for their clients like the people in that room.
The people I would like to thank…Everyone at KC Magazine…Katie Van Luchene, Eryn Swanson, Erin Calvin, Dara Macan, Kim Tucker and all of the other wonderful people at KC Magazine. Thank you, thank you.
Of course too, I would like to thank my clients because if it wasn’t for their faith in me, none of the gorgeous rooms would have happened and I wouldn’t have been standing there without my umbrella.
Thank you all so much!
Yours,
Jill
