Transforming a House into a home

BEFORE: This outdated kitchen underwent a complete renovation.

AFTER: From light fixtures, to cabinet pulls, tiling and faucet choice, many decisions were made to give this space a finished look.

Before:  My client loved her beautiful cabinet but she didn't like the yellow background.  She also needed help finding the right accessories and arranging them.

After:  I applied a blue, textured wall paper to the back of the cabinet, providing a contrast to the light blue walls and creating a backdrop for the items to "shine."   A few new accessories were added to accompany the client's personal keepsakes.

My client wanted a bedroom she could retreat to.  She wanted to love her space and needed help getting there. 

With the rearrangement of furniture and an addition of soft curtains, beautiful artwork, pillows, and texture, a relaxing oasis was created.

This kitchen counter seemed to always collect clutter with necessary, daily items. My client asked me to create a more organized system for her family. 

A caddy was purchased for devices as well as mail, and small desk supplies. Clear shelves were used to group and store daily vitamins, medicines, etc. for easy access. 

What I have appreciated is that Deborah has taken a home that we have lived in for six years, and the kids have grown up in and are now tween/teens, and she cleared the clutter, yes,  but created a new home in the house we have lived in all this time.  Deborah helped our house grow up and adapt to who we are now.  She has  a keen eye for what makes things work for busy families.  She is economical in her solutions.  Everything just makes sense at our house now.  And on top of that, I LOVE how beautiful it is!  I love my home again, not just because it's where my family is, but because it makes me happy.

Deborah transformed my house.  Before she helped me organize, I had tchotchkes all over my house.  I would put something down and never move it and I hated the way it looked.  Deborah came in and changed all that.  She has a great eye for style and design and works quickly and efficiently.  She collaborated with me and used my existing items, and helped me pick out a few new things as well.  My house has never looked so put together.  She was polite, on time and enjoyable to work with.  I recommended her services to a number of my friends and would use her again.  

I am so thrilled with the way Deborah transformed my home.  Without even giving  much direction she managed to create exactly what I wanted and much more.  

She also made simple suggestions to move some existing furniture to make a huge difference.  Then adding a few other accents, she made my house feel more put together.   My house is finally starting to look like a home.  Now, when I look at the beautiful areas she transformed, I can’t wait for her to do more!

Let me first say, I have no decorating talent.  We had been in our new home for 3 months and I had been unable to get a grasp on how to begin decorating the modern style house.  The paint I had chosen didn't seem right and I was frozen in uncertainty and not sure what to tackle first.  Deborah to the rescue!  She realized I was overwhelmed and spent time shopping, hanging pictures, selecting drapery fabric, and accent pieces.  The result was beautiful and functional.  Three years later, I still love my comfortable, inviting home.  Deborah has artistic talent that enables her to select items to compliment and blend with furnishings you already have.  Just recently, she incorporated a pottery collection I inherited into the most pleasing display.  She is truly gifted.
