Client Project: Not Teal, Not Turquoise, But a Beautiful Blue!


It's not teal.... It's not turquoise... But we LOVE it!

In a current client project, we have gotten ourselves in somewhat of a pickle, 
and we are ok with it!

We've selected a "mediterranean blue", as we like to call it,
 for our color palette in this modern home. 

Even though it's difficult to find the color, we are searching high and low...and digging deeper to pop as much as we can with this lovely color.

You can see the fabric and art that sparked our initial interest. 

And then it just exploded in color when we found these amazing rugs at Cyan!



We hit the jackpot with these bright blue beauties and can't wait to see the final outcome. 

Ever found a color that you love, but is a tricky one to match?

In the Works...Magenta Modern Loft Project!!

 Welcome to Friday!!

 This week we have been knee deep in fabrics and furniture.... and loving it ;)

In the midst of it, we have come up with a great 
concept for our client in an uptown loft here in Dallas.

Magenta, Gray and White

This modern loft space will be an exquisite end result and we can't wait to see it!!!

Here are a few concept photos from Houzz we LOVED.
(and while you're checking Houzz out, be sure to drop by our updated portfolio!)




With that bright note....Happy Weekend!!

Sourcing -- The Modern Recliner

Whew!! After a busy day of designing and sourcing, we are feeling very inspired... excited.... and ready for a good nap!! ;)


Color and furnishing just make such a difference and impression on us each day. AND each day, we see something new that we haven't ever run across before then.

TODAY, we found that the traditional "recliner" can actually become a MODERN lounge chair to prop up your feet!


Thanks to Vanguard Furniture , this modern interpretation 
of the "recliner" has transformed how we see it!!


Happy Easter!!!


Client Fun: The Box Pleat


 A Friday Funny.... at least we thought so:)

If you remember our client fondly referred to as "New York, New York", we are still making our way through his house. The modern remodel took a year to complete and now we are redesigning almost every space with new, contemporary furnishings.



We proposed a box pleated pair of panels for his swanky game room and he requested a 
few pictures of the pleat style. Being in the mood that we were, Courtney sent him this...


We did get an initial chuckle after his notice of the 
"box pleat skirt"
and of course, we didn't leave him hanging by sending this along too



Sometimes we crack ourselves up...
even if it is an inside joke:)

TGIF,

Client Project Reveal: Colorful, Modern Game Room

This is why I do what I do!!!!


A successful client project is measured by a response like the one above...
(and look at me... just as happy as the homeowner:)


Courtney and I dug way deep in the creativity bucket 
(as well as the paint bucket) to design this multifunctional,
colorful gameroom for an active family.

BEFORE:

For the remodel portion of this job, TCI incorporated a custom craft area, 
broke into the wall to find unused space for a bar and redesigned the entertainment unit.

We added drop pendants over work station and sleek sconces to the bar,
as well as task lighting using unique lamps.



The Vanguard custom barstools were a hit and are comfy to boot!



Solution to a design dilemma:
Behind the large canvas art piece is a door to the attic-
GONE!
Art is on installed on L brackets for easy on and easy off.

(Custom touch, the artist incorporated their last name initial
G in the top corner and IV for number of family members-
we all love it)

Custom painted nesting tables by CTH Sherrill and storage ottoman with 
faux leather on the top for durability- also by Vanguard



Ahhh, the paint can wall decor! Check the blog on Monday
for the tutorial on how we pulled this one off!!!



Last but not least, our perfect mascot Izzy settled on our perfect Surya rug-

Thanks to our lovely clients for allowing us to help create this 
beautiful entertainment space in your home.
