"High Class Shabby Chic" Design Plan...

Today's Online Design Plan Video is Family Room/Master Bedroom combo for a young family moving into a brand new executive style home.  The client asked for a space that reflects her love of color, specifically gray, turquoise and yellow.  Her style preferences lean heavily towards "updated cottage" and "shabby chic".  The goal of this design plan was to incorporate casual elements from these styles into their new semi-formal home.  Hence the name of this project, "High Class Shabby Chic".

Here is the design plan video...

You can find all product and image sources in the design plan video.

The main inspiration piece is this beautiful cityscape painting found by the client on Etsy...

{I was so excited when the client introduced me to this fabulous Etsy shop, Cherish Me Designs.  You can heck it out here.}

Here is another look at the Family Room...

{Special thanks to Just A Girl for the image of the gorgeous aqua built~ins.  Stop by her blog to see how she made this beautiful semi-custom bookcase from Billy Bookcases.   No joke, she made this amazing custom looking built-in wall out of Ikea Bookcases.  Not only are the bookcases gorgeous but, her styling is absolute perfection...check it out here.}

During this project, I learned that the client and her husband share a love of photography and nature.  These two interests were incorporated in the design.  They are very excited to put their personality into their new home.  Until now, their main focus has been on raising their family, their education, and establishing their careers.  This move has inspired them to nest and establish a sophisticated home design that reflects their personalities.  

They are "Ready for Love" in their new home.  

I'm very excited to announce the details of my new, improved Online Design Service.  Due to high volume of requests {for which I'm incredibly grateful} I had to temporarily discontinue the service.  During this time, I've found ways to improve the turnaround time and streamline the process, making it easier for my clients.  

I'll be announcing the details of the new service {including pricing}  August 15th, 2012.  At that time I will also begin accepting new reservations.  Thank you to my current clients for your patience during this little back-up.  Until August 15th, I'll be sharing some of my recent online design projects.
