I’d like to share with you a recent installation that we did in the Frisco area a few months ago, where I incorporated a few ideas that fall just outside the box!
First, I’ll share with you what the room looked like when we started.
Oftentimes, clients will want us to incorporate some of their existing furniture into the new design…because the pieces are meaningful or sentimental, or simply because the design budget can be better spent elsewhere.
In this dining room, we kept the table and buffet (sans the top china part). But look how different these pieces look with a more updated color pallet!
Hope I’ve inspired!
When decorating your home, you will always have a multitude of options no matter what it is you’re needing. Most products come in a variety of styles, colors, sizes, and price. So which one do you get?

Onyx is a gemstone found in various regions of the world, particularly Brazil. It can also be found in Uruguay, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India, Hawaii and Madagascar. Continue reading…
Now that the weather is getting cooler, we’ll be spending a lot more time outside, making this a great time to spruce up your outdoor space, which is exactly what we did in this quaint backyard patio.
Sometimes, we don’t pay as much attention to the outdoor living areas, but just like our interiors, it’s important to create the right “feeling” for maximum comfort, relaxation and fun!
For this patio, the client’s request was clear and simple…”we want it to be fun, a party area”, so we went bold on the colors , infusing vibrant shades of blues and greens. Continue reading…
