We are so excited to share our first interiors spread with all of you! It feels like we have been waiting for this forever.  We couldn't be happier with the way it turned out and are so thrilled that Elle Decor, one of out beloved interiors magazines, chose to include us in their "Rising Stars" Issue.  

Sometime I open magazines and feel like everything inside although beautiful is totally unattainable on my budget.  I love that in this issue, Elle Decor has selected some projects that illustrate decorating on a budget and mixing high and low. We try and do that a lot in our work and certainly in my own home I have no other choice, but to make that mixture work.  Don't worry there are still some projects in there that will allow you to day dream with no boring budget woes! We hope you and enjoy and will pick up a copy at the newsstand! xox

We have been working on schemes for a new client and I am just loving this project. The client is a young woman who is sophisticated and not afraid of taking risks. More than anything she loves discovering new ways to express her personal style.

The following two schemes are for the living room. We discussed keeping her existing sofa and adding deep cranberry and red tones to the room.

For the master bedroom she expressed her desire to go for a more neutral palette than what she currently has. The room has existing mill-work that can not be refinished with paint so we have been researching different ways of recovering the surfaces of these units. One thought is to cover the existing cabinetry with a grass-cloth. Another option would be the parchment wallpaper directly below.  What I love about both of these schemes is that they are subdued yet playful.

The guest bedroom is where the client is willing to really go all out with color. She knows that she doesn't have to spend everyday in this room and therefore isn't worried about being overwhelmed by the colors or patterns. Regardless, I wouldn't tire of the below schemes and the first and last one are my personal favorites.
