Client Project~Den Before and After


This project is a great example of the impact that accessories have on a space.  This was a Home Styling job I had recently.  The clients had already chosen wonderful furnishings.  They called on me to help style the space.  Working closely with the homeowners, we selected accessories that tied the furnishings together and created a warm, inviting TV Den.


(After)


They selected a super cool, super unique media console, a beautiful gray tweed sofa and a small black desk (with a folding chair stand-in).  The only thing the room needed was the icing on the cake, accessories.



Here's a look at the room when we began...

And here it is now...



(After)



We used large scale, graphic pieces with big impact.  By doing this, we were able to create drama with just a few things.  








By using accessories around the TV we turned the flatscreen and fabulous console into a great feature.










To the desk area, we added a cute little black chair, organizational buckets and a distressed chippy white cubby shelf. 










Inside the cubbies, the homeowner has created a fabulous display of family heirlooms.  










She has a great eye for unique pieces, she found the wire blooms at an on-line boutique.  I hung them on the wall above the TV.  This not only filled up empty wall space but added whimsy and personality.








Here's a close up...

















The pillows, throw, ottoman and lamp added softness to the sofa.










I think I want to take a nap in this room.  That throw is looking pretty cozy.

  19. I went to Pier 1 tonight, and just about had a fit when I saw THE huge clock!! My husband wasn't quite sure what the drama was over. :) Love how you've pulled the look together in this room. Beautifully done! And their couch is so cute. Any chance you know where they got it?

  20. Thanks, everyone for the wonderful comments. I love, love, love the feedback.

    I wish I could give all the product sources but, out of courtesy to my client, I am unable to share. Everything in the space came from all of our favorite retail stores except for the sofa, console, and wire flowers...those were special order items. Thank you for understanding.

    It looks like Sarah found the clock :) You're right, it is from Pier One.
    Best Regards,
    Sarah

  22. I like those wire blooms a lot. Whimsical and full of personality, and the color ties into the darkness of the TV! I put ceiling medallions all over the wall behind the TV in my bedroom. Has a similar effect.
