This dining room was updated with a bold navy color scheme to help show off the beautiful existing trimwork. The eye-catching light fixture serves as a luxurious design focal point.
Each room's design should aesthetically blend with interconnecting rooms. The dining room colors and lighting integrate beautifully with the kitchen tile accent wall.
A wall mural by the well-known Dutch painter deHeem along with updated lighting provide an amazing new welcome to this foyer area.
Purple has a calming effect energetically, so it is good for bedroom areas. And, it can't hurt in the prosperity and wealth areas of one's life either!
A hand-carved mandala from Thailand complements the colorful bed cover. The blue teal wall provides a calming effect in this master bedroom. Very Zen!

The visual effects created with this crystal flush-mounted light fixture are stunning!
A modern, organic style updated this living room with a seating bench using a custom grassy fabric design.

Our client found this dated little striped loveseat on Craigslist (see below). We repurposed it with a lush velveteen fabric and two fuschia paisley silk accent pillows. Now the cutest loveseat EVER!

These two custom office chairs are decked out with a gorgeous Osborne & Little custom fabric. Dusty gold leaves, bright fuschia and violet florals lay against an eggplant backdrop making for an absolutely GORGEOUS office space.
We love to support local artists. It makes the world go round.
These incredible macro floral shots, by a local photographer, add the final finishing touch to this luscious office space!
Upcycling consumer goods is good for the planet as well as my soul. This lamp began as a little oval vase that my client entrusted to us.
Application of some fuschia and gold floral sheer fabric on to a new oval lamp shade along with a wooden oval base and a brass pineapple on top, and this little vase has a whole new life!
This little old knitting rocker came from an antique thrift store in LaConner, Washington (see below). A little white paint, an updated silvery metallic back, and a cute, knubby gray seat, and this little rocker now really ROCKS!
These custom ironwork doors and slate floors provide a natural, Northwest welcoming.
Murano glass lighting, grass and bamboo roman shades, and a local artist's encaustic work bring a modern, organic feel to this brightly accented space.
An accent color was applied to help the art pop on this fireplace wall. What a difference!
We went from black accents to aqua blue and silver accents in this converted attic guest bedroom space. Sometimes it's the little things that can make the biggest difference!
It's amazing what a little color can do. Can't you just feel the energy shift in this updated bathroom space?
Before
The trim and moulding were beautiful but invisible because of the original neutral paint colors (see before image). A little paint goes a long way to bring out the beautiful finishes.
Applying basic feng shui principles so the desk faces the entry (vs. the wall) immediatley shifts the "chi" energy. And a round of decluttering does the final trick to clear the energy in this office space. As Mari Condo would say, "This space now sparks joy!"
Before
Space was grabbed from an existing guest bathroom and a totally unused bedroom to create a beautiful new master suite for this client. And, the new closet space is massive!
The "before" lay-out included a very small master bathroom and an overflowing master closet space.
This space planning redesign called for some creative thinking. Space from a guest bathroom shower and an unused spare bedroom were merged to make a beautiful new master suite. Happy, happy client!
The previous master bathroom was tiny as was the master bedroom closet area.
