2 Down...

Well another set of installs are done.. mostly.  We had no window coverings but hey those will be there on Friday and then I can take a bit better pictures.  That is the hardest part I think about installing design jobs is getting everything to come together on time and in the correct condition.  Inevitably something goes wrong but you learn to improvise and sometimes it ends up being better because you are actually in the space. 

I was pretty pleased with these spaces over all.  We still have things to add and things to finish up but it was a good day of work.

If you want to see more photos you can check on instagram here or @greigedesign.

 

From another angle..

 

It is funny how I seem to come across images with a different view in little groups.  I love to see how a room looks from above, it can be so different and it helps you realize that it either all works together or maybe not.  At home we have a landing at the top of the stairs that looks onto the Living and Dining rooms, sometimes it is nice to get a different perspective.

 

 

Pops of color and Atlanta bound..

 

I am falling for this look - New Traditional at it's best!  A simple neutral backdrop with pops of color that can be changed out easily.

Things here are moving along quickly..  I have so many things that I would like to share and just not enough time to get them on the blog...  Today I am on my way to Atlanta for the show, this is my first time there so I am super excited!  I hope to see many of you there!  If you want to keep up with me and all of the latest trends I will be posting on Instagram during the show.  Check it out @ greigedesign or on Instagram.

Faded and beautiful

 

I must be needing soft lighting and relaxed spaces right now as that seems to be what I am most drawn to.  

We have another busy weekend planned - how about you?  Any time to relax and take in the beautiful weather?

I am wishing!  I have just recieved my copy of Steven Gambrel's new book which I cannot wait to dig into!

California casual

 

This is one of my favorite styles- California casual with a little industrial vintage mix.  Fun easy going and comfortable while being stylish.  How could you really ask for more?

Stacked artwork

 

I have been seeing a lot of great examples of stacked artwork lately and I really love the personal feel that it seems to give to the spaces.  Many of them are living areas but it seems to work over the bed too.  I love the mix of sizes and mediums for something that feels truly eclectic.   It is just a little bit different from the art collage that we typically see in the way that many of these collections reach the ceiling, which is fun and different.  I am thinking of adding to some of my collages in my own home to get this feeling  and to keep up those photos that I just don't want to hide away.

Light and bright {a favorite}

So you know how you love a photo of a room and you are a little surprised when you see the entire space, well I am sure you have seen this one before but I came across all of the photos together on pinterest and I am so in love with this space still!!!  It is so dreamy!

It was featured in Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles back in 2007 and it is still one of my all time favorites so many years later.

Happy Saturday!!

That little something..

 

I think that every photo or space has that little something.  The something that makes it great.  For this space it is truly the way that the pillow contrasts with the rest of the space.  It is so necessary but at the same time so different from everything going on in there.  I love that little something....

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!  I am having trouble not working.. you know how it is when you feel like you should be doing something constructive but everyone around you is rebelling?  That is how this weekend is going...

Pink accents

 

The power of color is so amazing even when it is a subtle use.  The pink in both of these spaces is just so. 

I hope your week is off to a good start!

Living room and Family room Design

I had the recent pleasure of working on multiple spaces for a client who was looking for a style that I really enjoy.  For their living room I suggested a clean slightly dressier look with greys and linens and to carry the feeling through into their family room we toned down the formality for a comfortable family space that will be used every day.  

In the larger family room I suggested paneling on the large open wall opposite the fire place and seating with artwork to add some weight.  It was a fun space to create.

I am always so amazed by how much fun it is to create a space for a family that they can use and the best part is getting to know my clients.

Gorgeous interiors, simple natural light.

Living room makeover..

Having found my new wing chairs last week I decided that my Living room needed a little make over.  I have a pretty neutral base so it is easy to change out some fabrics and pillows and make a pretty significant change in the space.  I decided that I would like to slipcover my new chairs in a white cotton duck so that I can wash them easily and have a much needed white accent in my space.  I have fallen in love with Barbara Barry's Ceylon Key fabric and basically used that as my starting point adding texture and print from there.  I wanted to get the full effect of the space so I added a few of my smaller accents from the space to see how I would like everything together.  I am excited to make these few simple changes and update our house a little.  We still need to have the wood flooring put in and make some major improvements but this will get me started and make me feel better while I wait it out!

What do you think?





Don't forget to stop by and see us on One Kings Lane tonight!

Dining with McAlpine...

One of my favorites - a simple and clean statement for dining. 

The floor to ceiling windows and doors make the space.

Hope you are having a wonderful Monday!

Don't forget to come by and see us tomorrow on One Kings Lane too!

Online design Living room project..

 

This is a fun little project for a client.

She was looking for something in grey and gold which is one of my all time favorite color combinations!  She wanted a space to entertain and spend time with friends so I made some smaller conversation areas within the space which can easily be moved and changed as needed.  We used some great artwork to balance the wall behind the sofa that she already had and worked in some existing pieces to create a great look.

I love the style that she was looking for and was very happy with the way it came out. 

Living room project...

I wanted to share a project that I have been working on with you..

This is a fun space that is a little different and will be full of activity!  I had the great opportunity to

mix in some vintage and modern pieces and cannot wait to see how it all comes out.

It is always so nice to work with wonderfully creative clients 

who bring all kinds of ideas to the table!
