DINING ROOM & OFFICE DESIGN

I recently completed designs for a dining room and office. 

The couple live in a beautiful home just a few years old. 

Their decor and paint colors are fairly neutral.  They were looking to liven things up a bit.

They had their eyes on a beautiful dining table and buffet. 

Other than that, they were open to ideas.

Here are my ideas...... 

For this design, I started with the rug. 

I love a good traditional rug that will last forever. 

They were open to mixing up the chairs.  

I also provided two lighting options.

I think the red lanterns would be perfect in this space.

Here are my ideas for the office.....

They sent me several different room layout options 

and wanted me to help them decide which one would work best.  

I settled on the one I thought would give them the best working space and optimal TV viewing.

They already had a desk/hutch and they wanted to add more desk space.

I suggested softening the windows with drapes.

I also recommended adding some colorful local maps and personal travel photographs. 

A nice upholstered swivel chair would be perfect for this space too.

This project is on hold for now, while they take their time making decisions.

I really enjoyed working on these designs and wanted to share them.

Other than squeezing in a little work, I have been in full summer mode; 

staying up late, sleeping in, spending time at the pool, soaking it all in.

I hate to think this way, but my oldest child only has six more summers 

until she graduates from high school.  Yikes!  

I don't want to look back on this time and wish I had been more present.

So forgive me if my posts are few and far between.

I hope you're having an amazing summer!

Thanks for stopping by.
