I received the photo above from my sweet e-design client in
preparation for our work together on her living room.
This room probably looks a lot like one in your own home - it has
the basics - the popular Ikea Ektorp sofa, an equally popular
World Market coffee table, some random tables and one
lone lamp begging for friends!
The room has a lot going for it, besides the basics I mentioned above -
great windows/light, a gorgeous piece of art and it's relatively
generous size.
My client knew she wanted her young family to use this room more -
for reading and playing games - so it had to be casual and inviting
but also have a sophisticated elegance as it was the room immediately
off their entry space.
Because budget is always important for my clients,
we were keeping the Ektorp sofa and coffee table.
What we concentrated on 'fixing' was updating
paint color, hanging drapes on every window, a larger
area rug and some additional seating.
What I really wanted to give this client's space was the feeling of warmth -
a space that you could not help but feel comfortable in. For that, I
included lots of texture, warm woods and comfortable textiles.
I think this design accomplishes that!
Thank you to my brave{and really fun} client for allowing me to share her
photo and design board!

I have had some changes to my August design queue - and
find myself with TWO openings for e-design clients!
If you are ready to cozy up a space in your home and would
like my help, please email me at jillbeth@aol.com.
And we can get started in August - hardly any time to wait!
I will honor the summer special I was running in June -
which means a one room design board is $200!
