an e-design update
Several months ago, I showed you a dining room e-design project that I completed for my client in Utah.
This is her dining room ‘Before’
During the demolition of the walls
And this is the design board that I created for her dining room.
Here is the ‘After’. The natural light in this room is fantastic.
At the time that she contacted me, she was about to start on a full kitchen remodel. Well the kitchen turned out fabulous and she just added the finishing touches! She used the same two fabrics that I suggested for the dining room and carried them into the kitchen for her window treatments.
So pretty.
I love this office space off of the kitchen….
….and that pantry!
Love how the roman shades turned out.
If you are interested in the fabrics used for the window treatments or in my e-design services, please contact me for more information.

This week I was able to getaway for a short visit to Orlando and met up with my husband while he was there on business. One of our favorite places to visit while we are there is Celebration. If you haven’t been, Celebration is a community that was developed by who else, Disney! It is an adorable cottage community that is a must see if you are a lover of all things cottage. When Celebration was first being developed 15 years ago, the interest was so strong that they held a lottery drawing for those who were interested in living there. At the time, my husband and I tried to get one of the apartments (this was pre-kids), but with no luck. Our number wasn’t drawn.
This diner, Market Street Cafe, is our favorite spot for breakfast. Strong coffee and good omelets.
This is their Starbucks. Cute, right?
Thanks Mom for making this getaway possible!
Have a great weekend.
Back in October, I gave you a sneak peek at an e-design project that I’ve been working on with a client in Utah. My client was about to start a kitchen and dining room renovation and contacted me for help in a couple of areas. This is what her dining room looked like when she contacted me.
She removed the wall between the family room and dining room. Just to give you an idea of the floor plan, she is standing in the kitchen looking into the dining room.
This is the design plan that I created for her. Since this is her family’s formal and casual dining space, I wanted to give her a combination of both dressy and casual finishes.
I gave her 2 options for host chairs. She couldn’t decide which one she liked so she purchased one of each. We bounced emails back and forth and both decided that we like the arm chair. And here they are in her beautiful new dining room. In her old dining room she had a freestanding hutch but decided to go with a built-in one to better suit the space.
And here is her new dining room dressed up for Christmas. This gal is one the ball!! Looks so pretty!
Here is her gorgeous new kitchen with black, honed-granite counter tops. The glass has not been installed in the transoms above the doorways….can’t wait to see how they turn out.
This is a small home office space right off of the kitchen. Great idea….I love all of cabinets and extra storage, not to mention love all of the natural light.
I’ve recently had the good fortune to work with some wonderful clients from around the country. One of those clients lives in Salt Lake City. The homeowner inquired about my e-design service for her dining room. This is what her dining room looked like before we started working together. She recently purchased this beautiful, dark stained table and already owned the hutch.
Here it is after the demolition crew came in. The wall between the dining room and family room came down. She is in the midst of a complete kitchen remodel and said her house looks like a war zone. She can’t wait to have a kitchen again!
Here is the design plan that I created for her. Since this is her family’s only dining space, I decided to go with a mix of dressy and casual.
Sorry for the tease, but I don’t have any “after” pictures……yet! We will be sure to show them to you once everything comes together!!
