eDesign to real life

One of our very first clients is starting to make progress on her home renovation and we are so excited to see their progress.  This cute couple recently bought a new [to them] home to raise their family in, and while totally charming and completely 'them', it needed a bit of help.  

We helped the owner select soft goods like curtains and window coverings and lay out a project and progress plan for them as they are game to do most of the work themselves since they are handy DIYers!  So I was so so so surprised when we got this picture in the mail yesterday of their kitchen demo'ed for renovation!  Not even on the radar for upcoming projects when we met with them, but so incredibly happy that their mid-century style home is getting an update to make it more user friendly.

Congrats Leslie and George on awesome work so far!

Nancy's design presentation....

Our first client yielded boards from both Bethany and I. We wanted the experience and 2 different 'takes' on what we took away from our client interview. I'm sure in the future we will collaborate on boards, but this is too much fun!   Plus, I need more Olioboard experience. I'm not loving the flat computer dimension (yet), versus drawing it out like I did for my business in the 80's and 90's.

Here is the board I came up with based on the clients love of a dark and rich themed room.

Here is my inspiration picture which was intended to update the "jewel tones" they had in the early 90's.

Here is the drawing I made of the room with fabric suggestions ( golds, tourmalines; apple greens, magenta ).

During a follow-up call with the client today, she told us she wants to hire us to begin the transformation with lighting and furniture placement , followed by draperies and the bed dressing!  She didn't say yet whether she likes Bethany's color selections or mine, but we've got her envisioning her new room...... we'll keep you posted!
