featured room transformation
multipurpose guest room

living room before

Before & After | This room had become a catch-all and a source of stress for the homeowner who wanted to create a functional multipurpose guest room. We simplified the space and created designated areas for reading, yoga, and sleeping.

Before & After | This wall was visually cluttered and lacked purpose. We designated the existing custom art piece as a functional storage rack, and reduced the number of items in this area, creating more open space and visual appeal.

Before | Initially, the floor was cluttered with furniture and miscellany that we sorted into easily-identifiable categories. We then relocated relevant retainable items into short and mid-term storage within other areas of the home.

After | We utilized existing furniture and decor to create a more cohesive color scheme that feels clean, spacious, warm, and inviting. This newly-organized room now functions as a guest room, a reading area, and a space to practice yoga.

Before | We organized the garage together by sorting through items and relocating those that belonged elsewhere, were suitable for sale or donation, or were no longer useful.

After | Everything is easy to see, easy to access, and organized by the categories that the homeowner uses most often.

Before | This extensive book library is a valued part of the homeowners’ lifestyle, however it had become cluttered, difficult to manage, and visually overwhelming.

After | We organized the books by subject and author, and then I added their favorite travel mementos, gifts, photos, and handmade artistic objects to stylize each shelf and transform their home library into a beautiful and spacious showcase of memories that had shaped their lives.

Before | The tack room at this horse barn had become cluttered and it was difficult to see and access bridles, saddles, and saddle pads.

Before & After (above two images) | Although this room had become a catch-all for a variety of papers, toys, art supplies, and memorabilia, the homeowner had a deep desire for this room to become a dedicated creative space.

We collaborated to consolidate and compartmentalize the array of art supplies, making sure that they would be easy to see, easy to identify, and within easy reach.

Before & After (above two images) | We created storage solutions using existing carts and drawers, and cleared off countertops to ensure open areas that would suit both smaller and larger projects. The result is an efficient space that supports an evolving variety of audio and visual expression formats. 

Before & After | This office nook is located near the entranceway of the home and had become a cluttered repository for a variety of items. We reclaimed this space as a dedicated office by sorting and relocating things that were best suited for use in other areas of the house.

home design + decorating projects
Garage tool and toy storage area (before)

Before & After | This kitchen corner had unsightly exposed cable wires, outdated wall shelving, and a fuse box that was distracting from the overall aesthetic of the space. I designed custom wooden wall shelving with floating brackets for housing ferns and teas, and added a custom canvas photograph to conceal the fuse box.
