The Design Elves Have Arrived! A Before & After

The Design Elves Have Arrived! A Before & After

Imagine little design elves coming into your house for half a day and making your home look generally amazing….. basically using what you already have.

Well, this isn’t fantasy….my design buddy Becca and I launched our new “Done in a Day” service with a bang.  We took our little elf selves over to a young family’s home and we left their family room completely transformed!

Our client has the most gorgeous space but it needed to be taken up a notch.

It was a little “eh”….

 

And we made it SING!

 

Here’s what we did.

We “shopped” inside her house – those baskets you see above used to be across the room on the bookshelf.  We borrowed the succulent planter from the kitchen island. And the lamps were stolen from another sitting room!

We also brought in a few accessories (and art!) that we thought would fit the space.

My mom saw these last photos and said, “I don’t think that mirror works there on the wall.”  In case you’re wondering the same thing?  That’s a window!!  I agree!  It’s awkward.  But hey the whole thing still looks pretty amazing, right??

 

I always say – sometimes it just takes a little tweaking at the edges to completely transform a living space.  And now I have proof!
