Classic with a Twist: February 2014

Modern Uptown Loft - Big Reveal!

We are so excited to share with you our most recent photographed project!!

Last summer we had the privilege of working with an amazing client

through a long-distance design process! They lived in El Paso, and their daughter was going to be moving to Dallas to attend Medical School here.

So we got everything in tip top shape and ready to go for her when she arrived.

In one week, we completed a remodel of this uptown loft,
AND furniture installation and design!
What a reward it was to stand back and see the result!

After seeing a few color scheme options we proposed, the client decided

on the bold turquoise, black and white scheme for her main living areas.

Ahhh. It turned out so crisp and clean.

The wallpaper from ID Collection was the icing on the cake for the entry wall.

This gorgeous chair from Cyan Design was well worth the wait!
After being backordered, ;(

it finally found it's home in this perfect spot.

Each little nook was well thought out. With an eclectic mix of turquoise
and metal / glass, this view from the loft is stunning with this custom
painted Vanguard console.

Even more of a show stopper is the dining room. With the custom blown
glass wall plates from Viz Glass and turquoise chandelier from Cyan Design ...
This dining room can't wait to be used for a dinner party ;)

Upstairs, the client went for a magenta color scheme that we adore!
This "loft" space is used for her studying and relaxing. The custom wall mural f
rom JF Fabrics is the backdrop to the amazing space.

In her Master Bedroom, we went for a more calming feel to the magenta
and black color scheme by bringing in white bedding, and drapery.

The custom artwork from La Montage's artist, Blakely Bering,
combined all the colors beautifully!

Downstairs, the guest bedroom is nothing but FUN, FUN and Adorable!
The citrine and cobalt color scheme was the perfect touch to a small space.

The drapery and art really made this room come to life!

We couldn't be more excited about how this Uptown Loft turned out

and hope that our sweet client enjoys it everyday!

Stylish Children's Rooms...for One of our Own!

Designing a child's room can be both exciting YET challenging! You want it to be

functional, child-proof, AND stylish + chic.

How do you do it?!

We saw all the new additions to the Young America line at the

Las Vegas Furniture Market in January and were INSPIRED!

They create sturdy, well made furniture that is both aesthetically

pleasing AND safe for your child.

The staging they created in their showroom was impeccable. By using unexpected wall decor pieces like bicycle wheels as photo holders (first pic) and wallpapered accent walls (below), these children's rooms took on their own personalities.

We believe that is the goal for a child's room -- to express their personality! This adorable nursery with pink accents would be perfect for a sweet baby girl!

As we saw all these wonderful ideas at Market ... we also have a children's room of our own in the works! Courtney's baby boy, due this Spring, has a great room forming!

Here are a few sneak peeks of the space:
