Just presented these mood boards and space plan to a client I started earlier this month and she LOVED them. I’m beyond excited to make this a reality!!

This 80’s home was in serious need of a makeover when I first arrived. It still had its original carpeting and wood paneling on the walls! We replaced the carpeting with new luxury vinyl plank and the wood paneling with sheet rock that we painted a warm neutral gray. The original brick fireplace got painted a lovely deep green that I then accented with gorgeous wallpaper. Modern furnishings contrast nicely against the homes traditional architecture and create the eclectic feel the client loves. We also recovered two antique wingback chairs the client had in a modern yet classic stripe to add a little vintage into the mix. Artwork, accessories, and drapery complete this modern eclectic space!

Let’s talk about utilizing items you already have to create cute moments throughout your home. In the winter months, I love burning candles at home so I typically leave one out on my kitchen counter. Instead of just having a random candle sitting out, I wanted to create a purposeful display that was also functional, so off to Target I went to find a cute tray to ground my vignette!

As I was debating what size tray to get, I noticed a couple of cake stands and charcuterie boards out of the corner of my eye and inspiration struck! Wait a minute, I HAVE both a cake stand AND a charcuterie board at home that were given to me as house warming presents and have been collecting dust in a cabinet ever since!

When I got home I pulled both out to play with and ended up liking the charcuterie board best for this application. The moral of the story? Think outside the box when you’re decorating, particularly in the kitchen. I love using spice racks and cook books to create beautiful vignettes in the kitchen.

Serveware is pretty and meant to be seen, yet it spends most of its time in a cabinet. Dig through your china cabinet and see if you have any pieces you could use to create a cute moment in your kitchen!
