http://www.organizedesignlive.com/Jeff_Hobbs/Apt_2.html This was a really fun project and one of my most favorite transformations. My client lives in a great apartment with fantastic architectural details that were going unnoticed because of the white walls, placement of furniture, and general lack of color. THE MISSION- to create a home that is comfortable and inviting, classically contemporary and elegant, and feminine without being “girlie,” while incorporating organic and natural elements as well as some of the treasures she has collected during her many travels around the world. The Milk Chocolate color on the feature wall (that is the actual name of the color) has a slight mauve undertone which is complimented by the lighter shade chosen for the other walls and balanced by the charcoal linen curtains, smokey brown sofa, small wood side table, and ivory shag rug. Filling simple clear glass vases with beach sand, river rock, sea shells, and fallen tree branches was an easy and affordable way to give the space the organic and natural feel we wanted. And the inclusion of a few playful accessories like the ceramic owl on the mantel, colorful graphic pillow on the sofa, and pink glass vase infuse a little fun and represent my client’s sense of humor. Of course, budget is always a concern (especially in this economy) and this project was no different. This room was made over for less than $2,500 (sofa, curtains, rug, coffee and side tables, decorative pillows, lamps, misc. decor, and paint for the entire apartment), proving that major impact and transformation doesn’t always have to break the bank!
