Client Reveal: Main Level Bath

Hello there!  I'm thrilled to be sharing one of my favorite client remodels with you today!  I have been working on this 1970's ranch style home here in Salt Lake for the last few years, doing one room at a time.  It's now come to the fun part and we are doing some major renovations in the bathrooms and will be doing the kitchen here soon.

Sadly, we forgot to get a before picture before they started tearing everthing out.  Just imagine a yellowy beige everything.  The toilet was opposite of the window and it was just a poorly designed old looking bath. It is such a difference and I'm so pleased my clients family loves it as much as I do!
This bathroom is on their main level and will also serve as the guest bathroom when they have people over so, though her kids will be using this as their own bathroom, they wanted a sophisticated feel that would appeal to all ages.
We kept the palette light, bright and airy to give the illusion it is larger than it is.  
The palette of whites, grays and pops of the faux greenery keep it such  refreshing feeling.

We had the vanity custom made since the dimensions were not a normal size.  We went with a white craftsman look, and kept the design simple, but added narrow draws for functionality.  We got so much more storage out of this cabinet versus the old one. 


We picked out this gorgeous granite from a local granite quarry.  We were able to save some picking out a remanent.  Thats a good tip to save on counters for bathrooms.  Just google your local granite quarries and give them a call to see if they have anything that fits what you are looking for.  We love the beautiful movement and charecture this one has and give so much personaltiy to this space.


We found all of the tile at our local 
FLOOR & DECOR
They offer wholesale pricing to the public.  I actually get better deals going there versus using my designer discount other places.  I have used them on several design projects and love their selection and quality of products.
We went with a marble looking porcelian hex pattern for the flooring.  We went with this option just for durablity sake.  She has young children using this bathroom and though marble is gorgeous, it just wasn't practical for so much use.  This gives the same look with out being so hard to upkeep.



 The shower we went with a standard white subway with white grout.
The niche in the shower is a marble hex.
The grout on the hex tiles in the shower and the flooring have a Silver Grout.
We know subway tile appears to be super trendy right now, but it actually is very affordable and has been around forever and will be sure to keep this bathroom very timless looking.
We just adore the chrome design details and love the shape of the light fixture.
This paired with the round mirror give off a new england timeless vibe, which we love.



The other accessories were found at our local target.  They always have such great decor finds!


 My client was able to make these faux roman shades with THIS pinterest tutorial that we found.  We just bought and extra shower curtain and it was simple easy and adds so much to the window, finishing off the space perfectly.

Thank you for taking the time to read this bathroom reveal.  It was such a dream to work on and both my clients and I love the finished result.  I'm finishing up her basement bath remodel soon and I can't wait to share that design with you.

Dining Room Reveal

I'm thrilled to be sharing my new dining room with you today.  We moved into our "new-to-us" home this past summer.  One of the rooms I was most excited about was a formal dining room.  I know these rooms are on the out with most new builds, but for me this was one of the top three things I needed in a home.  I grew up with the best memories around dining tables.  I remember holiday and Sunday dinners with extended family and friends.  I knew in this stage of life my family is in I wanted this room to hopefully create the same special memories I had for my own children.

So you can imagine how my creative juices just came flowing to me for this room the minute we got the keys.  This was the first room I wanted to design, and what a joy it was to create.

You can view the "before" below.  It was such a dark room.  I found out from neighbors that not one owner in the last 20 years ever used this room as a formal dining room, always just a flex space.  I knew that I needed to fix this asap.  Keep scrolling to see this same view, all refreshed...
It really always amazes me what a can a paint can do for a space.  I used my signiature paint color,
Aloof Gray by Sherwin Williams 
in a satin finish.  This is with out a doubt my favorite paint color.  It is a light gray paint that can read true gray, blue gray and then green gray in different times of the day.  Because of that I never seem to tire of it.  Aloof, the perfect name for it.

The next item that really brought life into this dining space was switching out the standard "boob" flush mount ceiling light for this gorgeous 
Progress Lighting Chandelier
This had been on back order right when we moved in and waiting a few weeks for this to arrive was well worth it.  You can style it with or with out these glass votives, and they also come in frost finish.  It truly is stunning, and having the six lights versus the dingy two creates such a gorgeous setting during dinners.

You may notice one of the biggest changes we have made to the house.  We were able to order this gorgeous laminate hardwood through
Carpet One/ Giant 
in Sandy, UT.  They have been my go-to flooring company for my local design clients the past few years.  They are so easy to work with and always are able to beat the best local pricing when we've checked out other companies.  Their service has been so great and I was very impressed with the job their installers did.  We also hired them to install new baseboards, I am so pleased with the quality of work.  We went with 5 1/4 height boards, and they are such a gorgeous after thought.

If you are local to Utah, I 100% recommend them.  Ask for Barrett, he is so great to work with!

When I had my inital in home carpet consult Barrett had brought a few different samples ranging from $1.50 to $8 a sq ft.  I had fallen in love with an expensive engineered hardwood that is identical to the flooring we had installed.  I told him what I wanted to spend and he suggested this flooring, which is on sale for $1.50 a sq ft, and side by side it was hard to tell the difference.  Then he did the "key test" where he literally took his car key and scratched the heck out of the sample and it didn't show any damage.  I knew this was the one for us.  It is a cooler wood look with a gray undertone, but next to my cooler palette it reads a lot more warm.  Just the look and durability I was after.

 Here is another fun "before and after" of the space, showcasing the beautiful stair transformation.  I can't get enough of this new view.  I have so many "stair tread with white risers" inspiration pictures saved on Pinterest, and I'm so pleased to be able to see this view every day now.

 The next item of business was refinishing my dining table top.  This baby has been in storage for the last 5 years, I couldn't part with it seeing as it was made in denmark and is made out of solid teak wood.  I knew the look I wanted and though my efforts didn't create the outcome I wanted, I am pleased with the look.  I took to youtube and watch several dry brush tutorials with chalk paint.  I used 
paint from the Home Depot in the 'Relic' dark gray shade and dry brushed 'Yesteryear' in a light gray over top of it.  I sealed it with the same brands varnish.  And no, I will not be doing a tutorial, ha.  I'm by no means an expert, and found the professional videos on google super helpful.

Now to my favorite part of the design process, and that is the design details.  

The initial inspiration for the space were these curtain panels that I wanted to reuse from my old home.  Moving here we were able to gain an extra foot in our ceiling height, which is great, but made it so none of my curtains from the previous home would be able to work.  Then I realized there was a dip in the ceiling where a vent is so I quickly measured and was estatic to find out it was the perfect height for my favorite pair of panels.  So I planned my mood board and room design around these gems.

I have always loved a dining room with mix and match dining and captains chairs.  I wasn't quite certain what color I wanted but knew I wanted this shape of chair.  My heart skipped a beat when I found these
LexMod Captains Chairs in Azure
They were the perfect shade of deep teal that would match the curtains perfectly.  I loved the tufts and nail head detail and knew they were the ones.

When looking for the dining chairs I knew, with out a doubt, I wanted to be able to fit three smaller chairs on each side of the table to seat more, and knew I for sure wanted a material that would clean easy, and was durable.  I also wanted something bright and airy to keep the space light.  I was estatic when I happened upon these modern feeling
I love the shape and appreciate the solid steal leg frame.  Even my husband mentioned the solid feel they have.  They are petite, yet so sturdy and SUCH an amazing price.  The perfect look and feel to finish off the dining set.

Of course I love real, fresh flowers, but another love of mine is creating faux floral arrangements for myself and my clients.  My go to place to buy the stems are 
and every other week their stems go 50% off.  I was able to create this pretty arrangement with the white ranculas and some velvety greenery with the vase for under $50.

Also, heres a fun fact...
We got these beautiful crystal candle sticks as a wedding gift over 12 years ago.  They have sat in storage because I was afraid to get them out and have them break.  I love seeing them every day displayed on the table.  I have come to realize I kind of have a thing for crystal, and I just adore the detail they bring to the space.

Kitchen Styling- A Little Goes a Long Way!

 I'm thrilled to be sharing my newly styled kitchen with you today.

We are coming up on 3 years living in our home and sadly I just recently decided to bite the bullet and give this kitchen some love.  I've been dreaming of a white kitchen, but since it's a ways away before that dream becomes a reality I decided to do some small fixes to make this a kitchen that I can love.

BEFORE:
You can see how much a little bit went a long way in this space.  The valance and new light fixture MAKE THE SPACE in my opinion.  Adding some color and fresh flowers add so much to make this monochramtic room pop.

I've always loved the look of pendant lighting in kitchens.  Since my ceilings over my penisula aren't wired for them yet I did the next best thing and had the can light swapped out for this beauty from PROGRESS LIGHTING.  The design and bubbled glass make me happy every time I look at it and adds a little bit of class to this space.  It's beautiful quality, and I'm actually putting this same fixture in a client's kitchen!  She loved it that much after seeing it in my space.

You can purchase it HERE for a great price!

 The valance I made with some fabric, foam board, quilt batting, a staple gun and some velcro strips.  It cost me less than $20 to complete this project!  You can look on pinterest for some great tutorials.

There you have it, just adding a little bit of color and life into this kitchen makes me love it so much more.  Grantid, I'm still dreaming of a white kitchen someday, these updates are making the wait very enjoyable. :)

Be sure to check out Progress Lighting for some beautiful lighting options!  I have several on my list!!!
