Project Peek: Bare Wax Studio & Salon

I have been working on decorating a new wax and salon studio here in town. We almost have everything completed. The only space that I have quickly snapped a picture of is the bathroom..weird, I know! But, since I have a few before and after snapshots I thought I would share them.

To give you a little background, the owner had just had the space painted brown, it was light baby blue before. I just picked out the accessories and finishing touches.

Here is the BEFORE shot:

And here are a few AFTER shots:

(See--- definitely not professional photography! That is something yet to happen!)

I decided that the space underneath the sink needed to be covered. This created a much needed storage space, and gave the bathroom a softer, finished look. My client loved the blue and brown leopard print fabric so that is what we went with. It was perfect with the wall color.

The mirror was purchased from Home Decorators and the other metal wall art was purchased from Overstock. The canvas art (that you can barely see a reflection of) was also purchased from Overstock. All the accessories were purchased locally at TJ Maxx and Ashley Furniture.

Once I get this project professionally photographed I will be showing you more:)

Here are a few of the design boards that I put together for the salon. My client had already purchased the cute chairs (2 of each) shown below. That pretty much set the color scheme for the salon - terra cotta/oranges and teal/shades of green-blues.

My Favorite Way to Hide Toys in My Family Room

We were is desperate need of something to hide toys in our family room. In addition, I really needed something to go along the back our loveseat. Below, is basically the view you get when you walk into our home. I didn't want people to walk in & the first thing they see is the bare back of our loveseat. One day, I was meandering around TJ Maxx & spotted this cute storage ottoman. Right away, I knew it needed to come home with me! It has proved to be a fantastic purchase for us! My kids can easily get toys in & out of it. It is also a very convenient place to sit & put your shoes on before heading out the door. In addition, it can easily be moved around to the main sitting area if extra seating is ever needed. You KNOW you have made a good purchase when your husband has said TWICE, "Melissa, buying that ottoman was a really good idea." Need some other ideas on how to hide toys?

Elegant Dining Room Makeover

I had the pleasure of helping a local client decorate their dining room. The space was pretty plain and lacked personality. I knew it had possibilities with those tall ceilings and beautiful arched windows. (Before) My client was very budget conscientious so I did not go over board on decor. I was very thoughtful of the decor I suggested and made sure the items we put in the space really made a 'wow' statement. This is the mood board I put together for my client to show the decor that I thought would look gorgeous in the space. My clients' liked everything, with exception of the chandelier. They were not in love with the one I selected and it was a little too expensive. As a replacement, I found this chandelier that I think was even more perfect for the space. So without further adieu, here are the pictures of the completed space! Would you like help making your home a place you love to be??
