Just Staged!
This week we staged this fabulous classic Mid-Century home in Carderock for our friend Erich Cabe of Coldwell Banker - we had so much fun!
Moving West
Every once in a while a favorite client becomes like family. This is certainly the case with a client I helped settle into their new home in Stanford, California last month. I'd met them in 2011 to stage their home to sell in Maryland, and was delighted when a few months later they asked if I would help them design the new house in Pennsylvania. It's still one of my favorite projects.
They had planned on staying in this home for quite some time, so it was a surprise to everyone when an opportunity presented itself and this fabulous young family was moving out west to sunny Northern California. And even a greater surprise when they telephoned to ask if I would help them with the new house!
This California one level was very different in both layout and square footage then the classic Pennsylvania three level they'd just sold. Each day brought lots of design challenges that had to be solved quickly. But in six days, with packing paper flying and and tools abounding, we unpacked, placed furniture and hung art so this family could feel right at home

Spring is just around the Corner!
I am always relieved when invitations to my favorite vendors' Spring Collections begin to arrive.
It means that the brave little daffodil will soon be fighting its way to surface followed closely by cherry blossoms and warmer temperatures.
Last week I attended the MGBWHome Launch party for their 2015 Spring Collection and I must say from the introduction of some additional mid-century classics to some pretty fantastic, well priced, art, everything is looking pretty fresh and fun this spring. I did notice the trend towards brass seems to be continuing strongly, and thoughts by Patric, my sales colleague there:
"I can't believe I told my grandmother to get rid of all that brass. I could kick myself now!"
Here are some of my favorites from this season's collection:

New Beginnings
Just before Thanksgiving, a former staging client asked us if we would help him furnish his newly purchased townhome in a fabulous up and coming part of DC.
Our response? "Of Course- We Would love to!"
Not only is he upgrading the size of his living space but literally ALL his furniture.. so first things first. Every journey with a purpose requires a road map and the design process is no different. So, as we do with each project before even one item is purchased, and after we've asked questions and measured and photographed a space, we develop a road map.
This client needed a fresh start and place that felt truly his own. He loves color, but wanted the bedroom to be a sanctuary from his high octane life. It needed to be elegant, but also reflect a midcentury young and fun aesthetic.
Here's the initial concept board we created to for this fabulous client.

The client loves it, and with a few minor tweaks, orders have been placed. We are currently in process of creating concept boards for the other spaces in the house.
Come back to the blog to follow the design process, see this client's new home come to life and then see before and afters!
