Private Residence - Playroom

/

It’s time for a reveal on one of our favorite spaces. We started this project a little over a year ago and posted the initial concepts and sketches. We wanted to share how it turned out. We worked side by side with the finish carpenter in creating just the right pattern for the railing and cut-outs.

We had a lot of fun with the playhouse and developing the layout for the built-in kitchen, charming cut-out windows, and gingerbread molding.

 

The storage in a toy room is essential, to hide puzzles, books, and a few of the grand-babies favorite things.

 

With construction over, it was time to do the finishing touches with hardware, paint and pillow fabrics.

 

It’s finished! And as absolutely charming as we imagined!

Thanks to our amazing client and the opportunity to “play” along with her in creating this beautiful space. It brought us back to the time when we were kids, and the imagination that went into the space was limitless.

We love it so much that we wanted to show it to you in a few room settings. This London is on our showroom floor now! It is offered in three lengths - 77", 87", and 97". This one happens to be the 87" and $2,777.50 on sale for $2,222.

We are so excited to be able to share our photos from the MGBW showroom from the last High Point Market! This is how they styled the London.

The lovely London also comes in a chair, ottoman, and chaise! Featured in one of the homes we designed in the St. George Parade of Homes, it was an unexpected twist in the Great Room. It would also make a perfect chaise for a Master Bedroom.

How-to: Freshen Up Your Bedroom This Spring

/

Your bedroom is your retreat from the world. It should reflect who you are and the things that you love. While spring cleaning and giving the house a facelift, make sure to include your bedroom in that as well. Here are a few easy tips to freshen up your bedroom.

1. Use a colorful throw - Place it at the foot of your bed or drape it on a chaise or bench in the room for a pop of color. Choose a lightweight throw for the spring and summer to use in those chilly air conditioned rooms.

2. Add some pattern - Pretty patterned throw pillows on your bed or on the bench at the foot of your bed are an easy way to freshen up your room. Pick pillows with a lighter weight fabric, like a linen, to really make the room feel like spring.

3. Pick a pair - A new pair of lamps is like a shiny piece of jewelry to accent your bed. New lamps will feel like a new pair of earrings!

4. Dress up your nightstand - Keep it simple with some new nightstand accessories. A new photo frame or tray for your jewelry may not be something that everyone will notice but it's something fresh for you, and your bedroom is your retreat.

1. pillow - $250 // 2. tassel lamp - $662.50 // 3. footed bowl - $60 // 4. photo frame - $105 // 5. throw - $100 // 6. photo frame - $225 // 7. pillow - $225 // 8. pillow - $350

1. Bring spring to your sofa - New pillows can change up the look of the whole room. Box up your velvets and furs and bring in the linens and color!

2. Add a pop of color - Break out your most colorful coffee table books to brighten things up.

3. Fresh flowers for spring - Or really good fake ones are the best coffee or side table accessory. They make us feel special and inspired.

4. Adorn your walls - A new piece above your mantle or above your sofa will freshen up your room. Pick a piece with meaning, a piece that speaks to you. What better feeling than to walk into your room and see a beautiful piece of art.

How-To: Freshen Up Your Entry This Spring!

/

After the dreary winter months of over there are talks of what to plant in the garden, Spring cleaning, and just sprucing up around the house. Sometimes you just need something to freshen up your space, and what better place to do it than the first room you see when you walk through the door - your entry. You don't need to go out and buy all new furniture and repaint to give the space an updated look. Here are a few ideas to give your entry a Spring facelift. 1. Add pattern- Choose something that will be durable. This will be the spot that gets the most traffic in your home. Something with a pattern will be fresh for Spring.

2. Mirror above your console- Adding a mirror with an opinion will give your entry personality and flair. It doesn't have to be loud, a frame in a neutral color and a great shape will make a statement.

3. Bring the outdoors in - A vase of blooming branches will bring life into your entry. These can be real branches trimmed from your cherry tree or picked up from your local florist. For a long-lasting look, use a few of our fake branches.

4. Brighten things up - Add a new lamp to your console. This is a great way to keep the lighting perfect at night in your entryway. Pretty by day, pretty and functional by night.

5. Put some spunk into it - If you are feeling ambitious or just need a whole new look, switch up your console. The entry is like the "appetizer" for the house so make sure it makes a statement!

Here are a few of our favorite pieces:

1. branches - $13 each  vase - $223  // 2. mirror - $500 // 3. lamp - $900 // 4. 3'-6" x 5'-6" rug - $258 // 5. lamp - $1,500 // 6. 4' x 5'-7" rug - $98 // 7. mirror - $973

Stop by and let us help you find the perfect refresher pieces for your entry!

That Rug Really Tied the Room Together

/

Dear beautiful online readers, If I could give you one tip, one bit of advice about designing a room, it would be this…..pick your rug first!  Why, you ask?  Because it is the biggest player in a space!  Once you pick your rug, be it loud, quiet, colorful, or muted, you’ve dictated what energy the room will have.  The rug is like the border of a puzzle; once you have the border completed, the rest of the jigsaw is soooo much easier!  Once you’ve got this base layer you can start to throw fabrics and finishes on top to see what gels!

Below are two very different  homes we’ve designed and as you can see, the rugs are everything!

Private Residence - Las Vegas, Nevada

Private Residence - St. George, Utah

Your rug will be the largest piece of art you'll ever buy and art, my friends tells a lot about a person....
