Sneak Peeks of a Client Project . . .

December 16, 2010 38 Comments

I love making progress on big projects, and this one is coming along nicely.  I’ve been working with Brooke, a new bride, on a total overhaul of her new home (previously her hubby’s bachelor pad).  We’re still waiting on installations of lighting and window treatments, along with a few more tweaks.  So, in the meantime, I thought I would give you a sneak peak of what’s going on.  (I can’t wait to show you the before and after pictures of this one!)

Testing out new side tables (still with price tags).  Found this cute little curvy one at Homegoods for $49.
Hire me and I promise I can make your house look like this!  Just kidding, but isn’t it necessary to make a huge mess before beginning to style bookcases?

Bookcases in progress. . .

    This is looking great, I’m looking forward to the finished project. I love seeing the progress of things! I love the fabric on the pillows — the blue and taupe. I used that on a window treatment of mine and I never got tired of it. You always do such pretty work :)
