A Living Room Redo

BONNIE AND ROB'S NEW LIVING ROOM
(AND DINING ROOM)
I love making a client's vision come true.  In the end, that is (or should be) the goal of any interior decorator or designer.  The client needs to feel the room is theirs, not their decorators.

HOME DECOR: The Power of a Rug

A CHANGE IS GOOD
I recently took advantage of a Pottery Barn sale and changed out my old, tired 8x10 patterned rug for a tightly woven solid colored jute rug of the same size. 

It was a new look for the room and gave it new life.  My husband is still getting used to it - keeps asking me if I love it - I assure him I do. 

Change comes slowly for men like my husband, but he has learned to trustSource URL: https://costumesgirl.blogspot.com/search/label/area%20rugs

HOME DECOR: PAT'S BEAUTIFUL NEW LOOK IN MISSION VIEJO

Pat was definitely ready for a new look. Her peach walls, peach wing chairs and white floral sofa were beautiful in the 80's - but it wasn't the 80's anymore. Heavy lace curtains, off-white carpeting and brass accessories had to go, but we loved the new crown molding, plastered ceiling and mullioned windows.













The only furniture Pat wished to keep in this room was the family piano. Source URL: https://costumesgirl.blogspot.com/search/label/area%20rugs
