I'm learning to make cushions for use in our attic space. Here are the first four of five.
Pillows are a great way to add color as well as comfort to a space. It's easy to make my own pillows or pillow coverings and gives me control over all details of the design as well as choice of fabrics.
The client wanted to create a room to serve as her TV watching room most of the time, but that could also serve as an occasional guestroom. She wanted to find something cheerful, yet relatively modern that would look good against the freshly painted fushia walls.
The client had old country kitchen style furniture in her dining room that was no longer to her taste. We replaced the table, chairs, credenza, corner light, ceiling fan, and added an art print and some shelves..
The furniture in the client's living room was old and out of date. She wanted a whole new design with a modern flair, that would seat at least six people, and give her a comfortable and inviting place to entertain guests or curl up and read.
This house came with a crazy 3-part deck, no part of which was really large enough to be useful. A demo and rebuild of the deck also includes adding a beautiful pergola.
A generous floored space in the attic becomes a great place for an office, sewing nook, library, and a plush daybed on which to read.
A small master bedroom with little room for clothing storage offers plenty of space in the vertical dimension with a 15-foot high vaulted ceiling. But how to make the room feel more intimate?
The look of this tiny laundry room is greatly improved with rich colored paint, and white painted beadboard and trim (actually, laundry hallway would be more accurate).
A new wall and pocket door improves the look and function of this tiny bathroom.
Turning the plain white walls in this bathroom into a showcase for rich colors in both paint and paintings led to some other design changes in advance of a still longed-for remodel.
Bright color and new lighting make a good kitchen better, until a more major remodel can be undertaken.
