The bungalow had been lovingly restored to certain point, but we're tailoring it to perfectly fit her lifestyle. She had everything out & ready to show me & we assessed what she'd keep and what we'd replace.
{The house is really beautiful. Love the doors!!}
She was ready to upgrade her Pottery Barn-type pieces for a more sophisticated yet still casual look.
My client entertains often & knows how to throw a good party. I noticed that she was really drawn to blues & aquas and a classic-vintage look in her inspiration photos. The rooms she loved all had a touch of old-fashioned charm yet still felt fresh & updated. The living room isn't large but is just what she needed to for a cozy 4-chair furniture arrangement by the fireplace.
The spaces my client loves also feel open & airy yet still have a warm to them. Many of her inspiration photos had shutters instead of curtains. We decided to keep her existing shutters and warm up the cool-feeling space with grasscloth on the walls. I stopped in yesterday & got a peek:
{Grasscloth by Thibaut}
Our installer, Michael DiGuiseppe, who also did the DC Showhouse room, is soooo good & incredibly fast. By the time I was finished with our two hour meeting, he'd almost finished the living room.
{Thanks Michael!}
Last night, my client snapped a shot of some of the furnishings in place & emailed it over:
{Completely unstyled, but you get the idea}
I'm loving the blue against the grasscloth and can't wait until everything else arrives!! We're waiting on the upholstery and are working on a gallery wall full of personal paintings & prints.
Will keep you posted!!
