What every room needs! by Bergen County decorator

You already know of my love of greenery and plants, but even just a simple bouquet of flowers in a vase can do wonders to finishing off a space!  This bouquet is for my 14th wedding anniversary and I couldn't decide if they should be displayed in the kitchen or dining room but I love them in both locations! 

If you feel like there is a spot in your home that could use a little something, try getting a simple vase (this one is from Target!) and a bouquet with soft colors and greenery (these were $10 from our local grocery store).

NJ Master Bedroom Interior Designer

I am so excited to share this master bedroom design project!  My client contacted me in May saying that she wanted to create a master bedroom retreat before baby #3 was born. We were on a major time crunch but everything fell into place!  Now mom and dad have a beautiful and relaxing space to go to at the end of the day raising three little ones. 

The first step in our process of working together was asking her to fill out my client questionnaire form. In it she said that her style was "Rustic/beachy/shabby chic" and that she liked "whites, creams, grays, blues, greens (mostly muted/blushes)."   Next I went to her home for a consultation where I was able to see what furniture and decor she needed and what was staying in the room as she already had a couple of dressers that remained.  We looked at inspiration photos, discussed budget and ideas and created a shopping list of items for me to source. 

Then the real fun began as I spent the next couple of weeks putting ideas together.  We met at Home Goods to shop together for the bedding and last Friday was installation day!  I brought my handyman and we put the new room together- hung the art, installed the new custom headboard, arranged the rug, hung the drapes and new rods and fluffed the pillows :)

Here are the photos that I took on installation day!

Here is the Concept Board presented to the client that includes the majority of the pieces that were ordered for the room:

And here is the BEFORE photo to see where we started!

Personalizing your home- tips from Northern NJ interior designer

It can be a challenge making a house into a home!  It's always great to personalize your decor with items that have special meaning to you and your family,  but you have to also be careful not to go overboard and get cluttered. 

Here is a little nook in my home that I used to display some special items. We LOVE to travel and usually pick out one special souvenir from each trip to bring home with us.  On our trip to #Sardinia a few summers ago, we brought home this cute framed fish piece that we found at a local craft market in the village where we stayed.  I then printed one of the photos that I took from the trip and had it done as a 10x20 canvas print. 

I paired them next to each other since I liked how the colors flow together and they are "related":

What about photos?  Are you not into the idea of many large family photos on the wall? Or just have too many photos and not enough wall space? I love this bulletin board from Ballard that I put in our mudroom. With push pins it is so easy to swap out photos and it is a great way to display a bunch of photos without taking up a lot of space on the wall.
