ONLINE DESIGN CONSULT - DINING ROOM and TABLESCAPE
Holiday Style Boards

If you're looking for fresh ideas or a new approach to your tablescapes for the holidays, a styleboard can help. Just pull together photos of your space, fave colors, and some inspiration from Pinterest or products found on line. Here are examples of two online designs I did for a client (in 2010) for her first Thanksgiving - Inspired by two selections to pair for a Thanksgiving turkey: A Chardonnay or a Shiraz, I sourced tableware and linens along gave some examples of updating the space for Fall. The board also shows relocating an existing mirror from another area, while the option of adding a painting with a more neutral palette can pull together the space + a chandelier suggestion. Adding rattan end chairs help break-up the look of a "set".

SOUTH FLORIDA - BEDROOM RENOVATION

A renovation differs from a remodel: A remodel is more architecturally involved, while a renovation is more cosmetic: updating ceiling fixtures, wall color choice, floor covering replaced, adding crown molding, and customizing window treatments, along with sourcing updated furniture, refinishing found furniture, and styling the space to suit the clients lifestyle, likes and needs.

COLORSPLASH STUDIO REDESIGN

In December 2010, the Producer for ColorSplash discovered me through Facebook. I was honored to be called for an interview, and obtained the opportunity to work with David Bromstad + his team in Miami as a Design Assistant on HGTV's Colorsplash. While on the team, I got to work with the movers and shakers - the people who make things happen for the show - from Juan Rozas and Brideget Haxho the talented painters, to Stuart Hinde the skillful carpenter, to the magic making camera crew, and the delightful co-host designers - Gina Carballo and Patricia Laurel! We collaborated on-site as well as at the studio. Here are some pics from what we did together and my part to help the team...

On Site - Working on the Sherwin William 1 Hour Colorsplash Special

1. Make flower arrangements for a makeover.

2. Prime & paint accessories for another makeover.

3. Help paint 5 spaces in an historic house for an upcoming HGTV Special as well as visit the home prior to the makeover to measure all means of egress (to verify furniture would fit).

4. Source & deliver fabric for custom draperies.

5. Steam draperies (and get lots of hugs from David!!)
