P + P E-Design Project: NOLA Bungalow

This week we are wrapping up another fabulous e-design project and I wanted to share it with you before the baby gets here and things get crazy!  It has been a very rewarding and exciting project for me and I hope you like what we came up with!

Catherine and Will are a fun young couple living in the cutest New Orleans bungalow.  They both appreciate traditional and southern design and wanted to spruce up their living room with a few custom and cozy touches...so that's where P+P came in!  They have great taste and the room had great bones! So all we had to do was... tweak the furniture layout, add a few accessories, paint a bookshelf, reupholster a love seat, slipcover two chairs and add custom pillows.  Ok that was actually a lot of work, and all I had to do was help her design the room...Catherine and Will are installing and executing everything on their own!  They are rockstar hard workers!


Catherine began this e-design project by filling out the design questionnaire and sending me pics and very thorough measurements of the room (thanks girl)!  Here are a few pics of the space before!

and trading a few more emails, we came up with this...

Next I sent them a "To Do" list with sources, links, ideas , furniture layout and online and local sources!  They have already begun much of the work and I can't wait to see how it all turns out!!!

Thanks Catherine and Will, y'all have been such a pleasure to work with!!!

P + P E-Design Project: NYC Bedroom

Hey there!  Hope everyone had a great Labor Day!  I was hoping to go into Labor on that very special day, but no such luck!!

Today I am excited to share with you a fun E-Design project I have been working on with 20-something, Meg, who just moved to the Big Apple and got her first real J-O-B!  You go Meg!!!


She moved into her apartment this summer and asked me to help her with her 8x9 foot bedroom.  She has been beyond great to work with and had a great idea of what she wanted/understanding of her own personal style, so the project was easy breezy and I can't wait to see how it turns out.  Her job starts on September 9th, so she is hoping to have the room installed by then!  Here are the BEFORES and the DESIGN BOARD to give you an idea of how the project will turn out!  

After filling out the design questionnaire and sending me pics and measurements of the room, we were able to get started.  

MEG'S BEDROOM: BEFORE

There are 2 windows (one with a AC unit), a closet (without a door), and a furnace...so furniture placement was a little tricky.

But wall colors were nice and neutral, and since she's renting, we decided against paint.    

The poor girl's closet rail broke the second she tried to hang her clothes... #thankGodforlandlords

Next Meg picked out this fabric!  

It's from the Premier Prints "Dandelion" collection in True Turquoise

She already had the bed, the white bedding from Pottery Barn, a great print she picked up from her travels in Italy and a few fun accessories that we incorporated into the room.  

After pinning inspirational images and furniture ideas 

and trading a few more emails, we came up with this...

MEG'S BEDROOM: DESIGN BOARD

Meg picked out that cute chest from Overstock.com and her mom found the rug on Joss & Main.  These ladies have great style and made my job super easy!!!  We decided since there wasn't much space to work with, all furniture would have to do double duty.  Bedside table would also serve as a vanity.  And shelves would be a must!  Look at these cute floating shelves we decided on from Urban Outfitters.  Aren't they cool?

Next I sent them pictures with a how to on furniture layout, and a "To Do" list with sources, links and ideas.  Meg's mom is traveling to NYC very soon to help her install and execute!

 I can't wait to see how it all turns out!!!

Thanks Meg and Nancy, y'all have been a blast to work with!!!

Mae Mae's Nursery: Befores and Inspiration

Today I want to share with you the Before pictures and the Inspiration behind Mae Mae's nursery!  Her nursery was actually featured on the House Happy blog a few months ago and so I am so excited to share it here now too!  (If you don't follow House Happy yet, DO IT!  Laurie is one of my best friends and she is super talented and does amazing posts, you'll love her!)

We moved in almost a year ago, when Mae Mae was just 8 weeks old.  Our house was built in 1914 and we were only the 3rd owners.  So we felt a lot of pressure to stay as true to the original design as possible.  The two families that lived in the house before us obviously loved it and we immediately fell in love too.  Having said that, we had some crazy wallpaper and carpet situations going on throughout the house, so we did make some major changes to suit our family's style.  One of the biggest changes was in Mae Mae's room!  Here are the before pictures...

MAE MAE'S NURSERY: BEFORE

The good news was there were beautiful hardwood floors underneath the carpet and the room is huge.  Mae Mae could literally host every baby friend she's ever met over for a play date in there.  I can't wait to show you what we did but for now I'll leave you with my inspiration for the room.
