I could see it from the start, this didn’t want to be a living room, it wanted to be the dining room! And we would need to make architectural adjustments to improve flow and visibility to truly turn this space into a destination rather than a pass through.

Is a big wide opening always best? Not in this case where it diverted traffic flow around the future table and ate into wall space in the adjacent living room where we wanted a big piece of statement art.

So we drew out plans, coordinated with trades, selected trims to match arches on the adjacent wall.

We researched hundreds of products and played with dozens of color combinations until we found the mix that was just right.

We conducted several site visits to track progress of framing, drywall, painting and paper.

Obviously watching this stunning paper get installed was on of the stand out moments.

Then came furniture install and walk-through to inspect that everything was just right.

From existing conditions….

… to the completed vision….

To seeing how the family truly enjoys the home… we love every aspect of what we do 💜

So many details went into this sweet bathroom but to name a few
1) The cutest tile! A colorful houndstooth of the floor, playful blue and white stripe in the shower and solid white tile on our sloped shower ceiling.
2) The round window! We were determined to get natural light in the space, and this cutie window fits just above the roof line of the rest of the house. Love the porthole vibe.
3) hidden mechanicals: behind that shiplap onto the round window is access to a whole attic full of mechanicals. Need to have it, don’t want to see it.

A bathroom combination I can always get behind: a cute leggy vanity paired with a linen cabinet that keeps all of the goods tucked away. All the storage, all the looks. Add the houndstooth floor and I’m dead.

“We still come home and are like, I can’t believe we live here” Quote from our Luxe on Locust clients, who, delightfully, have reached out for phase 2. We have already transformed all of the public facing rooms, now it’s time to reimagine the rest 💙

Is it just me, or does Fall weather automatically kick you into soup mode? I’m wanting soup all the time! Confession: I’ve never made my own soup. I hear it’s easy but for some reason I find it daunting. I’d love to hear if you have easy faves.
