Virtual Interior Design

Hello Friends!

Recently I worked with a residential client that needed several rooms re-designed in her beautiful home.  She expressed that they wanted to remodel their great room and open up the kitchen nook area to create an open concept.   Today I’m sharing some of the design boards I did for her in the family room area which includes the new fireplace and built-in wall designs.   Her style is “Rustic Elegance” and loves pops of teals with a neutral pallet.

North Wall:  The family room sofa is in a neutral performance fabric, organic textured area rug with bits of aqua, tan and teal, nesting side tables and pretty accent pillows.

West Wall: New stacked stone fireplace and mantel for an updated look and a darker accent paint color.

South Wall:  Brand new built-in with lots of open shelving for accessories and drawers for storage, as well as center glass doors for the TV components.

The Floorplan:  The new layout removed the wall in between the dining table and sofa to create an open concept for a great room with better flow.   The design boards I shared above is a portion of this remodel.  The kitchen nook dining area, the kitchen which to the right of the dining table and their guest bathroom were also re-designed.

Brooke Shields Long Island Home

I’ve admired Brooke for years and was so excited to see her interior design style in the September issue of Better Homes and Gardens.   She purchased this Long Island home with her husband and decorated it 100% herself.  Take a look…

Brooke Shileds Living Room BHGI love the colorful yet casual approach in the living room.  “A little color goes a long way,” is Brooke Shields’s decorating philosophy.  In her living room, she covered floral chintz chairs inherited from her mother in hot pink, don’t you just love them.

Brooke Shields BHG Family RoomThe family room has a continued beachy vibe which is throughout the entire home. A clear coffee table sits in front of the sofa for a clutter free look.

Brooke Shields Nook BHGThe breakfast nook is comfy, casual and warm with the wall color and touches of texture.  Fun pops of yellow and blue are in the bistro chairs and pillows along the banquette.  The table base is in a chrome finish and the beach scene print is by Vincent Laforet.

Brooke Shields Kitchen BHGBrooke wanted an all white kitchen for her beach dream house for the bright and clean look that it gives.  The high gloss subway tiles give a glamorous touch and the vintage inspired hardware character.

Brooke Shields Living Space BHGGlamorous and laid back is what Brooke accomplished in her family room basement.  Both the taupe sofa and hot pink swivel side chair are from where is else, La-Z-Boy. Brooke has been the spokeswomen for them for year now.

Brooke Shields Bedroom BHGThe bedroom is so lovely, I adore the soft blue walls and pops of the continued hot pink.  She shipped the Baroque resin mirror from a NC thrift shop, when it arrived, it was twice a big as she expected. “The seller only displayed half of it,” she laughs.  She painted it white and I love it.

Brooke Shieds Bedroom Hierloom BHGAn heirloom piece from her mother of an English handled vase sits on her dresser filled with beautiful fresh flowers.

Brooke Shields Office BHGBrooke’s office is filled with soft colors and gray walls.  The slip cover chair and ottoman are from La-Z-Boy.  “I love rooms filled with pieces that tell a story, that have a history, that have been well-loved,” says Brooke.

Brooke Shields Outdoor Patio BHGThis 1920’s cottage has a perfect outdoor patio for Brooke and her husband Chris to entertain.  “I make a super refreshing cucumber vodka with muddled lime and agave,” she says.
