It's been fun making over her living room, dining room, powder room and now kitchen. All of the rooms have been done on a budget (somewhat). We kept the dining room furniture and just made the room pretty and updated. Here's a small before and after of one wall:<br />

I took that chest from the living room, took the mirror top off and used it here. The marble is practical for serving food, so it seemed like a good idea!</div>
<br />
<br />
We did deconstruct and make a new mantle in the living room, but we did not buy all new furniture in here either, choosing to reupholster the sofa and add a big leather ottoman and a few small pieces. Same drapes as before and everything. The new, handmade mantle is quartersawn oak and I took that picture as soon as the staining was done, but nothing was touched up yet. Client loves warm woods and was not getting to expose the hardwood floors (lost battle to husband) so this seemed like a good way for her to get her wood, eh?<br />

The powder room definitely could be completely reno'd but budget budget budget- we just had to make do and disguise and play down what we didn't like (gray and burgundy tile). Cosmetic touches to make the house feel good, without performing full surgery with anesthesia. I actually don't have any after pictures of this room yet but here's the before (client is going to kill me):<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We actually took off the wallpaper in the foyer and painted. I swapped out the old foyer light with a new Swarovski crystal flushmount. Nothing dramatic here, but the sparkle is so nice. That mirror top I mentioned before? That went in the foyer. It looks so cool there, this big old wood frame. Do I have a pic to show you? Uh. No. Note to self: don't start a blog post without the necessary photos.</div>
<br />
The kitchen was not part of the original plan but... my client's HUSBAND actually said said to her, can we update this too? That took all of 3 seconds before the email with that request landed in my inbox! We took out the floral paper and the window treatments. Changed the dining table and chairs as well as the light above it. A little insight:<br />

We ended up ripping up the hardwood floor that was not looking so hot anymore and installing this awesome tile (that's the grout sample).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdfAohrajp9cj2JIXXfTAQb5mDxQHpTIlsEsCDrkPu-QivtrMrsIrKuFhXh4p2PKnTVW58Gbd4NATqMMfpmf6sxpqaVxA6iyX2ljzMrbjmthPGjYiY27GE3lMTRFoBt9h7_kmmH0pry2PQ/s1600/IMG_1687.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdfAohrajp9cj2JIXXfTAQb5mDxQHpTIlsEsCDrkPu-QivtrMrsIrKuFhXh4p2PKnTVW58Gbd4NATqMMfpmf6sxpqaVxA6iyX2ljzMrbjmthPGjYiY27GE3lMTRFoBt9h7_kmmH0pry2PQ/s400/IMG_1687.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We ran the tile through the kitchen and down the back hallway that connects to the living room. The new floor has colors from the dining room and the living room, and of course, the kitchen!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, there are a few "sneak peaks" of one of my projects. I think the client is loving it, and things have been done in babysteps so it's never been overwhelming. Now I just need to get my good camera out and take some more pictures!</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">I love this granite. It looks almost black but has cool flecks and fissures like marble. Of course, it's at the wrong end of the price spectrum, and it's about $2400 OVER MY BUDGET!!! (I got it). This is an example of how it looks in a kitchen:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px;">There will be a small wine fridge with a glass door. I couldn't afford to get a wood paneled cover fridge, so it's french doors on top and freezer on the bottom in stainless. Big 6 burner range with a second oven under the island. A microwave also in the island with a cool "oven door" type opening, not a swing out door like a normal one, and not a drawer like a lot of people are getting now. A flip down oven door! The island will have extra cabinets on the other side where you sit so there's tons of storage. The cabinets will go all the way to the ceiling so there's vertical storage too. The kitchen window is 4 feet tall and 3 feet wide and is one big pane that will crank open. There will be under cabinet lighting and lights in the glass door cabinets. All have slow-close feature, no slamming! </span></span></div>

Here is a dining room I'm working on. This is the BEFORE of the walls. Lots of blue and red. I thought we could do a little better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So I changed it to a soft gray-green, freshened up the trim color to a nicer white, and added a beautiful natural woven wallcovering from <a href="http://www.phillipjeffries.com/">Phillip Jeffries</a>. But it gets better....</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because when you are standing there, it looks like a nice and simple grasscloth but move a little, and you catch a glimpse of some sparkle...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yes, the backing of the grasscloth is GOLD. You barely notice it, but it really adds such dimension to walls, bumping this up a notch. I love how it's so subtle. There are several different colors and they are all beautiful. Check out the <a href="http://www.phillipjeffries.com/browse/collections/96-metallic_weaves.html">Metallic Weave Collection</a> and see what I mean! Be sure to click on the "<a href="http://www.phillipjeffries.com/installation-product-finder.html?s=ds&subTypes[]=27&category=Metallic%20Paper%20Weave">installation shots</a>" to see some of the beautiful examples.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope to have more photos to show you soon. Everything is so scattered (in my brain) right now, but I hope to have it more organized shortly (ha).</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This sofa wasn't making my client happy. She told me about it over the phone and I thought, "it can't be that bad". It was.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">This sofa was totally NOT working. What's with the multiple, headache inducing florals that don't even match? She said SHE PAID A DESIGNER for this.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">So I had it redone in a soft, velvety chocolate. I found this fabric and fell in love.

<div style="height: 400px; position: relative; width: 400px;">
I love LOVE love purple. All shades of it. And now there's a wedding coming up where the bride wants to have purple too. Oooh..<br />
<br />
Well, not all purples are the same and not all work together. I am going to try to help come up with a few palettes that the bride can choose from (and stick to once she picks one!!). These are just ideas and suggestions. It's not the exact items that are important, but the color and FEELING of the images that are. The "boards" below can continue to grow and change over time. Clicking on the boards will open them up in Polyvore where you can get more information and see better photos. Please leave comments at the bottom of the blog!<br />
<br />
Ready? Okay, here we go.<br />
<br />
First up is a grape/berry/gold palette. Rich purple shades that will pair well with the colors of the Harvard Club that you see here:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.eventective.com/photo/8235.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://www.eventective.com/photo/8235.jpg" width="166" /></a></div>
<br />
Shades of deep fuschia to pink with little shots of a fresh green in the flowers would be beautiful. The goal for the bouquet is to "pop" off the deeper tones of the bridesmaids' dresses. Delicate gold jewelry that doesn't compete with the rich colors, and/or bold jewels in the same tones will look fabulous. Bolder lip color in berry tones and softer browns to champagne colors on eyes. Little bit of gold shimmer.<br />
The colors in the room can overlap with shades varying from cranberry to maroon and violet to lavender, keeping away from the blue tones and more toward the red ones. Gold to add a little sparkle to the tables in candle holders, chargers, picture frames, possibly some birdcages and vases.<br />

Second up is more of a monochromatic option in softer tones that will not compete with the colors in the room. Shades of pewter, silvery lavender, and soft mauve tones with hints of amethyst,navy and and a little spring green round this out. Imagine the tables with a navy runner under silver cachepot filled with flowers that have some fruit for added interest and color. Silver candle holders, chargers add a little classic sparkle, and soft gold to antique brass tones also work well. Consider slipcovering chairs to a lighter color.<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The dresses are soft and elegant in tone and the makeup is complementary- more dramatic on the eyes with a lighter shade of natural pink/beige/mauve on lips. Shoes can be silver to pewter. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Another idea is more of a lilac/periwinkle/blue palette. Again, the dresses are a little softer in color, allowing the flowers to really show. Lots of variations in the bouquets ranging from indigo to light lilac, again with pops of green, and possibly some turquoise to peacock green (not shown). The bridal bouquet having lots of ivory mixed in with the blues and purples. Table linens in a medium shade with a lighter complimentary color in the napkins. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Jewels in several shades all work together. Shoes can be a shade lighter or darker than the dresses, but matching exactly is a no-no (too prom-like). Cheeks should have a hint of pink blush (in the right tone for the girl, of course) and natural lips will look pretty with soft purple tones on the eyes. </span> <br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">And last but not least... I can't believe I forgot to include this one! Here we go:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">This one is similar to the first, but the purple tones move more toward a deep plum to eggplant and had more gold added in. The colors are rich and elegant and saturated. Flowers are bright and deep, no white colors mixed in. Ivory linens with gold accents on the tables. Ivory to champagne tones for candles and lush floral centerpieces.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The ladies wear a rich lip color and naturals/pinks/browns on eyes. Consider soft champagne gold for shoes and accessories.</span><br />

I think I read too many blogs and end up with no time to write! Still so new. Some of the blogs that I follow have such amazing presence and I truly enjoy reading, looking, gawking, drooling over them! You can see some of them over there on the right. Over there...down a little... yeah, right there! There are so many more that I look at that I haven't linked to yet. On the TO DO list...<br />

have decided to go even further and create an online magazine dedicated to beautiful things, called <a href="http://ruemag.com/">Rue Magazine</a>. And the funny thing is, a lot of the blogs I read are as excited as I am, and have posted interviews, photos of the upcoming mag, so everyday I read yet another new thing about them.<br />

This bench is finally done! This is not the room it will be in, but it looks pretty good with the other things in the room. I love how luxe the velvet is, and I wanted to try to capture it, but you can never really get it to look as good on camera.</div>

The "before" bench was worn and not comfortable. New padding and webbing and all good upholstery touches and now it's really comfortable and adds some color to the monochromatic room. Other things are coming in to add some punch to this room, which also has a new wall color. I can't wait to show you! It's not read yet, but you might remember the peacock pillow- that is in here now.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The room is currently very... vanilla? Even though it's not vanilla colored! Lot of white furniture, lavender walls and a neutral beige-y colored area rug. But there IS a GHOST CHAIR! {love}</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mom bought this bedding in hopes to liven up the room a bit, then asked me to help. I suggested going in the bohemian direction and bringing in some natural woven elements with a little more earthiness. More colors and textures. More fun. More grown up, but not too serious.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mom is afraid of too many pillows as she thinks they will always be on the floor but I find that the bed can be made in just as much time and looks more put together with some throw pillows, so I have purchased a couple. We shall see! Right now she has one of the matching shams and one of the pillow cases on the bed, although it is a full size bed. She also has this:</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's funny, this doesn't really match the colors in the bedding, but it's sold with the bedding. And it looks great. Anyway, it gave me the direction I wanted. To incorporate a lot of colors and patterns!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I plan to change the window treatment to something more fun, and I wanted to bring the two colors from the bedding to that side of the room for balance. Panels are not an option, so I am going to propose an upholstered cornice board and woven bamboo blinds. Easier said than done, but I hunted and hunted for something that went with it but also had the right scale of pattern and mood. What do you think of this?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have so many colorful things to show you, but this part of the hunt is over. More about the room to come! But what do you think of the wall color? As you can see, there is that color in the throw pillow, and there are many more colors in all of the accessories. I am not planning to match the walls to the bedding, and I am trying to save her some money. I am contemplating leaving the color. Thoughts?</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">A big triple mirror came with the dresser but I immediately took it off and gave it to someone to take it away, it was UGLY.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">It's been extremely hot here in NJ and I really didn't have time to tackle this, but I was too excited. I had purchased this set to put in a preteen room, painting the pieces in shades of turquoise, citrus green, and a fun blue. But my teenager saw it and realized the potential and wanted it for her room, which we are ever so slowly working on and changing from a cinnamon and eggplant bohemian room to a sleek black, silver, red and crystal room.</span></div>
