A Perfectly Project : 1661 Riverside.

Update time! My client has officially moved into her space! Paint and light fixtures were finished a week ago and now we are on to furniture placement. Here are some shots of the fresh new palette she gets to live with!
My client talked a lot about how "soothing" she wanted her wall colors to be. I can relate. When I get home, I need it to be a safe haven away from the bustle of everyday life. So for the majority of her space, we went with a pale blue-gray.
You can also see the new light fixtures in the picture above, and the one below. We came in way under budget for all three and I love the look of them.
In the office/guest room, she didn't like the sample we put up and improvised by choosing the most beautiful blue.
It reminds me of "map blue"...you know, the color of water on maps?
Lastly, I had some trouble photographing her bedroom walls. I hope you can get a good sense of this soft pink. I can't wait to have fun with the textiles in this room, because you may not know it, but there is a lot you can do with pink walls!
There is one more small bathroom to be painted downstairs, so I will show you that soon. More projects up my sleeve...I can't wait to share them.

*A special note: someone asked me why I would post a client's address on the web...1661 Riverside is not her address. It is the name of the development. 

Till next time, xo

Design = Hospitality.

{Small Dot Fabric by Eames Gallery}
Had to watch this video for class. It is about Charles and Ray Eames. I love the outlook this couple had. They obviously influenced their own family and are still influencing generations of people in the design world and beyond. Check it out.

J'adore.

I <3 the garden stool, the paint color, the window treatment, the mirror, 
and the brown and white color scheme. I dislike that narsty rug.
