Hello Everyone!
So excited to share this before and after reveal with you all. About a month ago, we shared that we were ready to branch out and give interior decorating/ consulting for others a try. Well, the feedback we received was incredible and it was exciting to hear that so many were interested in having us redo a space in their room.
.
.
This is one of the first rooms we were hired on for and the client was really looking for a change. The existing furniture/decor had been in their previous home but like many, their taste and style had evolved over time. As many of us who have shopped for new furniture know, it all adds up very quickly and updating decor and/or furniture isn’t always in the budget.
.
.
During our consultation, they were interested in keeping a few of the furniture pieces, just giving them new life with refinishing. They decided to keep the existing dining table and buffet but all the other decor and dining chairs were going to be updated.
These were photos snapped right when they first got to work refinishing the dining table!
.
.
Can you believe that the client actually refinished the dining table and buffet themselves? All we did was tell them what to buy and how to do it and they knocked it out of the park, so proud of them! Both Izzy and I know how good it feels to work on pieces for our home, so we are glad that our clients get to have that experience and showcase their hard work as well!

BEFORE:
AFTER:
The room already had great potential with the neutral wall color and beautiful floors. A new light fixture was put in and we went with all new wall decor. We didn’t put something on every wall because:
1. Less is more
2. The client has plans to install wooden shutters on the windows.
.
.
The space really needed something to anchor the table, so the area rug was brought in from another space in the home.
Once the larger pieces were in the room, it was time to bring in the decor and stage the space (my favorite part)
.
.
I truly believe that it’s the small touches that bring the space together and we are so happy and honored to have a hand in updating such a special space in our client’s home. We hope you all enjoyed this before and after reveal and can’t wait to show you more spaces that we have in the works!
