What we did:

We started at the root of the problem: the gloomy furniture. We ended up re-upholstering all of her existing pieces – I mean the frames of this stuff were REALLY good! Then, we sourced new furnishings to add to what she already owed.

​

Then we moved on to the walls. We painted and wallpapered to match the updated, lighthearted color scheme Lori and I had worked on together. We also custom designed window treatments for both the living and dinning room.

​

We also painted the silhouettes – to bring a touch of humor to the space. Finally we nailed down the finishing touches – pictures, books, florals, paintings, pillows, and mirrors – and voila!

No more Six Feet Under.

 

Total time – 6 months

​

When I met Lori, she was so ready to let go of everything that was maroon and (hunter) green in her life. And I admit -the place did feel sort of sad… During the first interview she had let on that her space was known as “the funeral parlor”. All it was missing was a guest book!

​

BAM! It was an instant connection for me. Lori needed new furniture. She wanted it to feel lighter, and I wanted it to match her lighthearted temperament.. See the befores and afters below.
