02 Jun Project Zhush…A from A
Client numero two…let’s call her A- she lives in Atlanta- so she’s A from A….we won’t call her AA…that would be bad.
Anyhoo…she wrote me the sweetest of notes asking for help zhushing up her home, one room at at time.
Although I’m not a professional, I’m pretty sure I can prettify with the best of them so away we go.
A from A’s inspiration shots…
A from A already owns the furniture pieces (with the exception of the coffee and end table) and the zebra hide.
We’re thinking grey for the walls, and I’m leaning towards Farrow & Ball Cornforth…I’d also love to see wall molding applied (a simpler version of the title board shot.) I did a similar treatment in my room and love how it inexpensively, adds so much pizazz to a space.
And that’s all I’m telling you for now…we’re still hammering out plenty of details, getting lots of questions sorted etc. but I’ll be sure to post the entire process, along with before and after shots etc.
Pray for me please.

Posted at 07:04h, 02 JuneYou have an amazing eye lady and that more than makes up for “professional experience”. Just be nice and help them buy pretty things and you’re already a step ahead of the peeps on Million Dollar Designers 🙂
I love the inspiration board and can’t wait to see the final transformation!

As for the inspiration board, that coffee table has been on my birthday/Christmas/any-other-holiday-where-you-get-a-gift list since I first saw it in the Wisteria catalog. LOVE it!!

Connie @ Sogni e Sorrisi
Posted at 08:09h, 02 JuneGo you! I, for one, would totally go with the moulding. We just had plaster ones installed (albeit a simpler design than the one here) and I think it really makes a world of difference.

Just the sweetest most talented new designer/stylist out there 🙂 *pinch* me and hugs for Christine!!

Posted at 09:51h, 02 JuneFantastic! You are embarking on a very exciting time and sharing on your blog will pay two fold (often when we get busy on jobs the blogs fall by the wayside so we don’t keep the marketing side on track till between jobs.
Hopefully you will not have the ‘between jobs’ in the near future!

Naomi@DesignManifest
Posted at 12:36h, 06 JuneHow did I miss this? Stupid Strep. It’s got all the right pieces, so it should be stunning.
As a decorator with (minimal) experience, I’ve learned that sometimes the best ideas in theory need tweaking in actuality. So if that’s the case, don’t fret, because I’m sure in the end A will be very very happy.
