E-Decorating: After

I was so excited to see these images in my inbox this weekend! A little background before I share....

Typically when I send off a design board, I'll get a couple questions back and comments like "we love it! thank you!" It makes me feel really good to help people all over the country with their decorating needs, but I rarely see any "after" images.

The great thing about design boards are you could follow the boards exactly or you can use the board as inspiration/a starting point. These particular clients used my board as a starting off point and ultimately created a space that had the exact same feeling I was going for. Because no matter what materials, colors, etc you use... it's all about how you feel when you walk into the room. I wanted this space to be fun, happy, but also elegant. The clients did an AMAZING job at achieving this!

Here is my original design board:



I advised them to pull inspiration from their Chiang Mai pillows in the next room (I believe this print is so popular because of the vivid and beautiful colors):




Although they didn't go with the light blue and red from the print, they went with the black, white and turquoise.

Here are the afters!









They did such a great job! I love the wallpaper they went with and the needlepoint pillow on the vintage chair.

I always wondered how e-consulting worked. Great job to both of you! It's very fun and elegant - look achieved. I'm headed to Charlotte to see my mother-in-law this weekend. We are going to throw her a surprise retirement dinner party at Cafe Monte...hope it goes well. I've never been there before. Any good suggestions for home shopping while I'm there?

Maggie Rose said...

Love the lamp (West Elm?) and the pow of that turquoise door. So pretty! I think needlepoint is gearing up for a real comeback (at least I keep hoping!)

Aimee@ the Functional Space said...

Very nice! I know that it's so satisfying for you to see the afters too!! I hope a few more afters come your way.

Melissa said...

hana said...

so fun! as a renter in NYC, i am wondering... are they renting too? so is it permanent wallpaper or a temporary application? looks great, thanks for sharing!! xo

MelissaF said...

Very cool interpretation of your board. I know your love of wallpaper, but I've always been intimidated by not only putting it up, but also by the ease of changing it...or rather lack of ease! I'd love to hear your thoughts on this as maybe a blog post sometime.

Annie said...

Love that they took your ideas and ran with them! Wish I could do that!

Christina said...

What a great entry! I love the wallpaper!

They did a wonderful job! How cool to see how someone else interprets your design. That blue door is killing me. Amazing.

MrsKBJ said...

Sarah @StyleandCentsability said...

I have been lusting over a lucite (or acrylic) console for my living room. Is it from CB2?

Helena - A Diary of Lovely said...

it looks beautiful they definitely did a great job!!

EJR said...

I love the lucite!

Kalee said...

This turned out amazing!

Christi said...

GREAT job! I love your ideas, and I love how they took your suggestions and made them their own. VERY chic space...I, too, would love to have an entry like this!

Any chance you could add a "Before" photo to this post? It would be so interesting to see what they started with, and it would really give us an idea of just how much the space has been transformed. It might also inspire some new business for you - it would be a great way for potential clients to see just how helpful your e-service can be!

Laura Mattal said...

Wow! Congrats on a fantastic collaboration with your client. I absolutely adore that blue door, and the console table and lamp you recommended are spot-on!

A said...

Gorgeous! I second the request for a "before" photo as well. As another NYC renter it's great to see a small space look so gorgeous!

The Gimlet Eye said...

Beautiful! What is the source for the wallpaper? Love it.

Anonymous said...

Stunning! You both did beautiful work. Your mood board is truly beautiful and the way they pulled it off is just perfect. I love that turquoise frame too.
