Miley's Room

Sweet little Miley's room!  This was such a fun space to create!  Miley is artistic and fun, and when I presented this palette to her mama we knew it was a winner.  Miley loved it and it was a go!
I love the mix of old and new that we were able to achieve in her space.  It gives the space some patina and I think that is something that is often forgotten in spaces for children.  I think it is so refreshing to see a child's room that they can grow with and doesn't look like it just came out of a box.  I'm a momma, so I completely understand if you can't get it past your kiddo to do what 'you'd like to do' with their space, but it sure is nice while we still have a say huh?! ;-)

Pink gingham and seaglass walls. Love.

Vintage furniture and antique brass reading lamps.  Love.

I didn't get a great picture of her art wall but we framed a dance costume from when she was little bitty, along with some of her art, and we made a collage with some other sentimental family items.

Yummy velvet candy dots on linen.

You can see a little of our art collage wall here and Miley's framed art she created. 

You can also see her darling chandelier hanging from vaulted ceilings.  This room is a little girl's dream!  Fortunately, Miley's room also adjoins a playroom loft, so we were able to keep the clutter and toys in that space and keep her space fairly neat and tidy.

We also did Miley's adjoining bathroom within the space.  We found the most beautiful Calacatta slab for her countertops.  The veining was absolutely perfect!  We coupled that with an octagon and dot mosaic floor and crystal knobs on her cabinet doors.

I would have loved this space as a little girl!  I hope that Miley enjoys it for years to come!

 

It's crazy that this is my first time to blog this year!  I'm busy but not that busy, sheesh.  Where does the time go?!  I carried my 'year of organization' goal into 2014.  I was so successful with this goal last year and tackled so many organization projects that were hanging over my head that I'd like to continue to make it a priority this year as well.  It has always been a priority at the back of my head but I really made an effort to be intentional about it last year and it has really paid off.  I'll be blogging about some of my projects on here when I get a chance, most notably my pantry project which I documented some of the progress on Instagram and it seemed that you guys were interested in seeing more of that fun space. It is a dream pantry and one of the reasons that I really love my house!

I hope you're having a great start to 2014!  I'll be back again soon, thanks for stopping by!

Bunny Had A Birthday

My sweet little Bunny turned two!  I can hardly believe it!  You hear "where has the time gone" time and time again, but seriously, where has the time gone?!  She is such a blessing to us and I really can't imagine my world without my girl.  She is such a delightful child and it brings me to tears if I think too much about how much I love her.

We threw her a fun little party to celebrate.  Since it is kind of design related, (I like to see party décor, so I thought you might like to as well) I thought I'd do a little blog post.  I kept the colors the same as last year so that I could reuse her decorations.  I changed it up just a bit so that it would feel like a small town county fair, animals and all :-) 

I wish I could just bottle these memories up so that I could pull them out and remember them just the way they were.  It was a really great day!  If this next year is even a smidgen as fun as the last, we are in for quite a fun ride :-)

1920's Renovation | The Master Closet

Historic restoration is one of my very favorite types of design.  I particularly love the architecture and finishes from the 1920's, so this project has been such a joy to work on from the beginning.  If you are new around here and are interested in seeing more of this amazing home you can check out some of the other spaces I've previously blogged about like the Solarium, the Master Bedroom, the Master Bath, the Dining Room, the Stairwell, the Bar, Samantha's Bedroom, and the Playroom Bath. 

I still have lots more to show from this home!  As with any restoration, especially from this period and with this scope of work, nothing is ever quick but it is so worth it if you take the time and have the patience to see it through.  I've loved every inch of how this home has been rejuvenated and how she still respects the integrity of her architectural roots.

So, now I bring you the incredible master closet.  This is the 3rd space to a 5 space master suite, as you can see in the footprint below.

As you may have seen in the previous post about the master bath, we combined an unnecessary guest room and bath into the space that would become the new master bath and closet.

For reference, the master closet's entrance is through the second set of stained French doors on the right in the image below.

In the 'before' image below, you can see the space we started with.  The adjoining bathroom is in the master bath post below if you are interested.  All of the windows remained in the same locations.

Here is the 'after' from as close to the same angle as I could possibly get with the new wall locations.

Stunning right?!  I designed all the custom cabinetry units to extend to the ceiling to maximize storage.  Behind all of the doors, at the base of the cabinets, are drawers for foldable items etc.  We added those little baskets for some texture to soften the hard millwork lines.  One for laundry and one for dry cleaning.

Here is another 'before' image.

This is the 'after' from the same angle.  The headboard in this image sat where the row of cabinets are on the right.  The shoe shelving and handbag area are actually recessed past where the previous wall was.

We also installed interior cabinetry lighting.  This feature is gorgeous at night!!!

At the end of this row of cabinets is a small cabinet that conceals a washer/ dryer combo unit.  We selected a unit that uses a ventless connection so that we wouldn't need all of the space for a traditional hook up.  The unit is also super quiet.  Having this in the master closet is a great feature not only for the obvious conveniences but the proximity of the master suite to the home's laundry room is 2 floors away.

At the end of this row,I placed a full length dressing mirror.  Notice the hardwired ipod/iphone docking station just to the right of the mirror.  This is wired for tunes and such throughout the whole master suite, including the terrace.

One of my favorite finishes in the space are the custom antiqued mirrors we had made for all of the cabinet ends.  This not only provides light reflectance but it also provides a little patina, which every well designed space should have!

I don't know about you but I'd do some shameful things to obtain this closet ;-)

Obviously I'm having a difficult time finding the time to blog but hopefully I'll be back to a more consistent pace soon.  I'm thinking about bringing back the 'What I'm Loving Wednesdays' series...
I hope you're having a great week!
