Selecting vendors and featured products for the design center and later for clients homes all featured in the newly opened model home- Blackwell Park. In addition, its been a great chance to feature home elements exclusive to Everything Home for clients to preview.

Welcome Home

Foyers - A dilemma in smaller homes where we often chose to " share " spaces without formal delineation to allow spaces to feel larger. I broke the mold , opting instead to dedicate 80 sq feet to a functional foyer with fun welcoming appointments. At the drafting stage , something tugged at me. I wanted to reveal the home more slowly while inputting a tidy space for functional needs. We worked to incorporate a coat closet, and staircase ( all hidden in this view. I fluffed the space with differentiated slate flooring, enhanced mill work and unique lighting giving the space a personality of its own.

The New Living Room

Let's not get hung up -- this is where you'll live in this home - doesn't matter to me if you call a great room - I think it is - or a dining room or a family room . But today's room must do it all -- most of us are living more honestly, no need for the annual room or the too good for kids room. I really don't think there is a demographic alive that can't relate. Live smartly, love your space, keep it clean snappy and it'll hug you right back.

Not to mention the awesome furnishings- Noir La , TLS By Design , Uttermost carry the show. Supported by Ballard Design, HSN, Home Goods, World Market & Tuesday Morning .

Latest Remodel

This project came about because of our Willows Model. The couple loved all of the features to the model home and wanted to reproduce that same atmosphere into their own home. So we did just that! It turned out to be amazing project! So happy to have worked on this project! Check out some of the before and afters...

Ballard Design Concept Home

Easy Breezy Beautiful!

Ballard Design is one of my go to sources for inspiration and products. Hats off to them as they stay current and bring the design world to our front door. The latest flash - a Ballard Design Concept Home - head to toe Ballard- compliments of Suzanne Kasler, voted one of the top 100 designers by House Beautiful.

Many of us have chatted about the trend to create rooms with neutral backgrounds infused with splashes of color and texture. Creating a soothing effect: beachy, vintage or modern- in stark contrast to our someimes boldy painted walls. Thoughts?

Finito

One of the best parts of my job - working with fabulous families to bring a home dream from drafting board to beautiful living space. What a joy - here's a peek below!


My husband and I work together on this project - he the builder -drafting architect and me the designer. I jump in to advise on room flow, space planning and the finishes. Once moved in, the fun really begins, as I work to complete the spaces with all the furnishings.

This family wanted to infuse urban elegance from their pre-kids days living in downtown Chicago, yet honor today with plenty of function for kids, friends and family. We agreed on a soft contemporary concept using fabulous finds from local retail haunts, blended with custom bench made pieces and family antiques. For more - check out http://www.heartwoodhomes.com/

Vessel Sinks

Vessel sinks are very popular! Our Marble Uniques vendor provides us with some great marble bowls as shown in the bottom picture. On our lastest reno project - we used a vessel sink in the main floor half bath. It provides a beautiful natural beauty and calmness to the bathroom.

When considering a vessel sink - it is important to remember to adjust the vanity height to that of a counter top height. A couple benefits - you don't have to bend down to reach the bowl, and the bowl keeps the mess off of the counter!
