So today, I wanted to give you an update on the French Country Living Room I am currently and nearly finished working on.
This couple is retiring, or semi-retiring should I say, to Virginia. They will be permanent residents next month and they are super excited to be able to stay in one place and not have to travel back and forth.
Every client needs a little something different and they already knew their tastes in what they liked and didn't like when it came to decorating. Which is a huge help for me to stream line the process for them.
So where do I come in? I was able to come up with a design plan including paint, decor, and hints on tips on how to work with some of their existing furniture and also how to bring in some new additions to add to the mix. The clients were able to purchase some of the larger items such as the couch and chair while ordered the console table, artwork for the fireplace, rug, and some accessories. All in all, it has been a really fun experience working with my client's this way.
There are still accent pieces that are needed to be brought into the room. I am currently searching for a tray to go on their coffee table and baskets for their side and console table. I have to put up a grouping of four doggy artwork pieces around their larger TV console table that will come in February. Besides a few finishing touches, the room is coming together nicely.
Here is the color palette, I shared previously, that I came up with for the living room and and adjoining breakfast nook in their kitchen...


Here is the BEFORE...





This is the chair that was going to stay in the room. My client had purchased it a while ago and loves the look and comfort of it. So, I used it for my color inspiration and as a jumping off point for the rest of the room.
Here is During...




This is what the color looks like. Isn't it pretty? I love the white molding against the navy background. Off to the right is the valances we just installed.

Red Ladder Painting, Co. did all of the interior painting for both the kitchen and the living room. I get so excited seeing how paint makes all the doors and trim work pop.

And here is the ALMOST After...



A pretty landscaped painting of a lighthouse for over the fireplace.






So that's it for now, I hope you enjoyed the transformation and I will keep you posted on the final additions to the room.
Stay tuned tomorrow for all of the before and afters on another living room install.
Bye for now :-)
