Flower Mound Piano Room

Last week we finished a home in Flower Mound.  The client has lived in their home for over 5 years but has a very busy schedule and hadn't done much to her space.

She wanted to turn her front formal room into a piano room where they could hang out when they entertain or hang as a family.  We transformed it into a wonderful space for morning coffee, afternoon tea or evenings with a cocktail.

We had the main living areas painted, added new hardwoods, new carpet and also did a full day installation with new furniture, accessories, rugs and lighting.

FAMILY ROOM

My client had 2 leather couches already. Due to her budget, we decided we could work around them.  We added everything else.  The leather benches were included for extra seating.

I'm working on dining room for a client for a Tour of Homes in Las Colinas.  I'll post pictures soon!

Hope you enjoy all the festivities of Halloween this weekend!

Yellow and Gray Family Room

 It is always such fun to decorate a home knowing that there is something special happening with the couple!

They are having a baby!

Perfect time to do the finishing touches to their new home before baby arrives.

They already had the sectional and the rug.  My job was to add the drapes, lamps, artwork, pillows, ottoman and other misc. accessories.  We did a few touches to their kitchen and adjoining dining room as well.

They wanted the start of a gallery wall.  The black and white artwork can eventually be taken out and their new baby photos can be added when they are ready.

The custom ottoman is my absolute favorite in this space and will be a conversational piece.  Perfect for putting your feet up while watching TV.

It looks amazing with their new bar stools too.  We also added the pendant lights!  Wow, are those ever gorgeous!

These ottomans are perfect under the console table because they cover up a plug that was put right in the middle of their walkway to their master.

I'm in love with the striped grey and white drapery panels.

Custom pillows that are to die for.

A yellow and gray throw pulls everything together very nicely and is perfect for getting cozy by the fireplace.

We enlarged some gorgeous photos of the couple and placed them in their niches in the entry.  First the niches were painted a dark gray so the photo's would stand out beautifully.

The adjoining eat in kitchen area got some finishing touches too.

All ready to welcome baby home!

Also ready for their baby shower this weekend in their newly decorated home.

Happy Weekend and we have cool weather!  Yippee!

"Rocky" Inspired Kitchen Remodel

 There has been lots of labor going on with DecRenew Interiors the past few months!

I've been working with these clients on several projects over the years in their home.  The kitchen was Phase II of the projects we have done so far.  Next week we start on all their bathrooms!

They have a wonderful home in a very wooded area.  They purchased the home because of the amazing backyard and the rustic, casual feel of the home.  They love all the wood that is in the interior but felt that the kitchen was too dark. I totally agreed.

BEFORE

So we lightened it up!  They were really hesitant about changing the kitchen because they didn't want it to feel out of place with the rest of their home.  They were nervous that it would look updated and everything else would look out of date.  I assured them that we could update the kitchen and make it look fantastic with the rest of the rooms that flow from the kitchen.

AFTER

We got to work and selected cabinet color, granite, venta hood, faucet, sink, hardware, stone work for bar, gas stove, double oven, refrigerator and lighting.

BEFORE

AFTER

We adjusted the cabinets above the bread box for a bigger microwave.  The island also got a makeover with new legs and a new stylish color.

We worked with the paneling in the other rooms and made sure that we kept some consistency in the kitchen with what is going on everywhere else.  We left the crown molding wood so it ties in with the adjacent dining room.

We added new lighting to the cove in the dining room and that really made it look fabulously updated.

Love these mercury glass pendants that we placed over their curved bar area.  The client wanted to keep her existing island lighting since they had just replaced it a year ago.

The granite we selected was the one thing that my client was terrified of.  She felt like it would make the kitchen darker.  I assured her that it would be the focal point in the kitchen and would be beautiful with the woodwork in the home.

So bright and still looks very warm!

The stone work on the bar is my favorite, it really makes the kitchen fresh and it adds a masculine feel to the space.

Rocky the dog is happy because his coloring matches the kitchen beautifully!

I'm now taking the long weekend off to hang with my family! Hope you take time to enjoy Labor Day too!

Arabesque Master Bathroom Remodel

This summer we completed an amazing master bathroom renovation.  We  just  had the remodel photographed so I thought I'd share the pictures with you.

Carrera Marble countertops provide a modern take on a traditional look so that's what we chose for the countertops & shower surround.

The gray veins in the marble makes a room look sophisticated and classy.  The accent wall in the shower is my favorite.   The large Arabesque pattern marble is stunning.  The word Arabesque means " ornamental design consisting of intertwined flowing lines."  I just love saying the word A-R-A-B-E-S-Q-U-E because it sounds cool.

We enlarged the shower and took the marble tile all the way to the ceiling.  Why have all that waisted space!  We added  niches and a bench so she can shave now without falling, LOL.  I suggested a round ottoman for the space and my client found one she loved.  It has a little chair that matches for her vanity area.

 We took the doors off the built in storage so we could use it to display  towels as well as accessories.  The client never used that storage area so it wasn't a waste of space.  Now it looks fantastic for accessories and rolled up decorative towels.

2 shower heads is also a big improvement for a big family.

We took out the existing vanities and added new ones with overhead cabinets for more storage. I really loved the legs so you can see underneath the vanity, making the room seem bigger.    The client loves antiques and has a lot of wood in the rest of her home so the mix of wood with stone was a great solution.  The round scallopped mirrors soften the space too.

The bathtub was taken out completely and a free standing tub  and bath faucet was installed.  We kept the stained glass window but just enhanced the molding around it.  We put marble on the column ledges and that looks to die for.

 I'm in love with this vintage chair!

The columns were refinished in an "old world"  finish the client really wanted, adding a texture to the space that makes it feel mysteriously aged.

We added new lighting and that made the entire room come together beautifully, adding such charm.  All on dimmers so the light could be adjusted accordingly.

So here are the BEFORE and AFTER shots!

Amazing transformation for a lucky couple and their beautiful family.

There will be loads of soaking in this tub, that's for sure!
