Install of the Day !

Yo,

I am all about giving the kids a space of their own if at all humanly possible !!!!  I selfishly want my downstairs living spaces to not have gaming remotes all over the place - yeah I know. . . . This project was a fun one, third floor bonus room with side guest space, my dream for sure.  Having touch every room in this house I was excited to round it out with this space.  I wanted a hip vibe with pieces that did somewhat tie back to the look of the entire downstairs but in a casual, cool way.  No big theme, not to young, just a cool space to send them off to when us Moms want a little bit of quite.

Tough fabrics, woods, and carpet all popping with graphic accent wall papers and cool stuff !

This leather sofa will not lose it's shape and will not get all stained up !  I love leather, especially with kids and dogs.  Deep, low and really modern.  An industrial pipe floor lamp and nesting tables fill the wall.

A swing for all to fight over.  Love this thing.  I have one.  Made of volcanic ash, it can go indoors or out.  Add a sheepskin and it's a cozy, cozy place to chill.

A little gaming table (or snack spot).

Games tucked away int he storage TV piece and a coffee table tough enough to sit on, along with the red swivel chair, all about function.

Install of the Day !

Hey There !!

After leaving Carla's we head over to Lori Crowder's to finish up her kid's playroom.  Playrooms should be fun, but organization is more fun (for us Mom's).  Working back at the Crowder's house one of the last rooms I worked on was this playroom.  On the main floor, just off the hallway it needed to tie to the rest of the house with it's color palette.  With two boys and a little girl the look and colors need to be thought about as well !  Take a look at the inspiration I gave Lori.

So even though I chose to paint it grey to work with the house, punching it up with the curtains, rug, art and pillows did the trick in making it fun !

We added workable roman shades, a new sofa and rug and these great swivel chairs with fun graphic fabric.  The existing bookcase on the left wall was already there, but very shallow.  In order to hide some of the toys, I had new doors that pop out at different depths to create a clean yet functional look.  Very graphic and modern from the traditional look it had.

Loving the fun pillows !

Art, always important.  We flanked the back window with this pretty piece, along with our favorite Peace sign and Walrus . . . they jive and I love the detail.

Swivel chairs . . . perfect.

I can't believe we are almost done at Lori's house . . . boo.  She's been so fun to work with.  Last project, their outdoor space.  Pulling pieces at the moment, stay tuned !!!
