A little sneaky peek at a sorority house that I'm finishing up. I did some touch ups & redid the TV Lounge. Sort of refreshed the place. The funds were limited and we couldn't paint a thing. This was done in a couple of months. More to come! (I took these with my little point & shoot, sorry for the low-fi quality!)
I am so excited to share with you this e-design or e-decor or virtual (who really knows the exact CORRECT term) project a did a while ago. The clients have a great Tudor home. It has great bones and great potential. I designed this room for the Mrs. to use as her music room. She intends on hanging black and white photographs of classic female singers, Etta James style. AND the Mrs. is not afraid of color. I immediately thought that I wanted to do a relaxed Hollywood Regency vibe. The room currently has carpet and wood paneling. I suggested to replace the carpet with wood or a surface similar to the existing entry way and to paint all the wood paneling in a glossy paint color, shown above. All of the furnishings etc above are available online or near the clients locally. I do my best to work within their budget. I can't wait to see the finished room. I LOVE working in different styles!
This is the floorplan that I recommended. Since the room doesn't need to be centered around a TV I centered it on the fireplace. But if a TV MUST go in, it can be hung above the fireplace. The layout allows adequate space to get into all of the connected rooms, the bar area and the exterior while maintaining an entertaining and relaxing space for plenty of guests.
Here's what the Mrs. had to say..."Oh I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it!!!!!! Thanks so much for putting up with me. I cant wait to get started I love the colors. I'm soooo excited!". She was no problem to work with OF COURSE! I just LIVE FOR happy clients, makes me happy:)

I did a show-house with Sharon Staley in February for ASIDTGCC and it was recently published on the cover of the ASIDTGCC newsletter. This room was pulled together so quickly using furniture from various generous local showrooms. They really saved me on this one! The room is the living space of a 2 bedroom condo in a highrise in downtown Houston. The ceilings are low and we couldn't change the flooring or the walls. My original window treatments got stuck in the blizzard that was happening Northeast at the time...so another amazing showroom pulled together this valance for me using leftover fabric, in 2 hours! I am lucky that I get to work with such amazing people.
Here are a few more of my images from the room...
