Flood!

Hope your Easter weekend was better than mine.

Our Sunday was just lovely until my basement flooded! Not a pleasant surprise.

We've been on a verge of a basement renovation for about a year now

so I guess this is the push we need to bit the bullet and move forward with things.

I've actually been collecting ideas for a while on this pinterest board,

so although the timing isn't ideal, at least I'm prepared.

I'll be sharing some of my ideas for the basement later this week, but today,

here's a little sneak peek of a project I recently had photographed by Sara Bateman.

It's one of my favorites yet! I love the crispness of those linen wingbacks!

Sneak Peek at a Recent Project

I had a few projects photographed last week and I just got a few of the images back from the photographer Sara Bateman. These bobbin chairs are one of my favorite pieces of furniture I've ever used in a project. They are by Motif Designs and the detail and finishes available are absolutely stunning! I did this pair for a client in a simple gray Pindler & Pindler tone on tone stripe. I'm excited to share more with you in the coming weeks.

Caitlin Creer on the Huffington Post

I got a delightful surprise in my inbox last week from The Huffington Post

One of their reporters contacted me to ask if they could feature the Spring Lane home

I worked on last year with Tiek Built Homes on their Stylelist Home column.

Of course I was happy to oblige and share some details about the project

You can read the article here about how we approached the interiors.

Thanks to the Huffington Post for the mention.

a cozy cabin

I've had every intention of blogging but the last couple of weeks just got away from me.

We had a little vacation to California, Little Elliott turned one, and then there was lots of work.

To win you back I thought I would share a few images from a project I completed in September.

This particular space was a Hunting Lodge in the Utah mountains on the most amazing piece of property. The trick with this project is that the entire 8,000 square feet had to be furnished in time for hunting season since the property is primarily used for corporate hunting retreats. You can bet there were a handful of late nights and lots of coke consumed during this project.

Still I couldn't complain when this was the view I saw on each trip up there:

The inspiration for the space was loosely based off of Ralph Lauren's ranch in Telluride Colorado. His place is so amazing his wife Ricky published an entire book on it.

I actually loved working on a cabin project because it is a total departure from the type of spaces I usually do.

Here are a few details from the completed project:

I still can't believe we got it all furnished and pulled together in such a short time.

Hopefully I'll be back next week with a few other spaces to share.

Inspiration overload

I'm still trying to process all the great experiences from Alt Design Summit.

I'll be posting a recap later this week, but for now I wanted to share

some inspiration for some client spaces I'm currently working on.

You may remember this bohemian living room and dining nook I posted a few months back.

I'm working on finishing up that house with my client and our current projects include her guest room, office, and son's room.

She already has some great foundation pieces so we are just building on

what is already there and bring in some fun pops of color and accents.

Here is the inspiration board for the office

And here is the concept for her son Liam's room.

I'll let the guest room be a surprise. I think it might be my favorite.

We're using this fab pillow with an awesome vintage turkish rug.

Spring Lane Master Bedroom

With 4 small children my clients really needed their master bedroom to be a relaxing retreat.

The paneling detail that Steve Tiek designed was so beautiful that I wanted to keep the room light airy so it wouldn't upstage the great architecture of the space.

One of the few pieces of furniture my clients had their eye on before

I came into the picture was this Scroll Headboard from West Elm.

We had this love seat custom made so it would fit the alcove exactly.

It is arguably one of my favorite parts about the whole house.

Spring Lane Nursery

This room is so sweet to me because my client made two of my favorite things on the room for her sweet little babe. We had seen the mobile and the A print made of buttons on pinterest and we knew they would be the perfect DIY projects for the space.

We had been pretty restrained with the use of color in other parts of the house so we went bright and bold in this space. The concept for this room started with an inspiration image of a bright yellow crib from Caroline Armelle, and this wonderful bird pillow from Anthropologie (no longer available online)

Spring Lane Boy's Room

It was so much fun designing this room because I have a little boy the same age as my client's son. We wanted this space to be all about fun and personality. The whole concept started with this cool rug we found. I've gotten lots of e-mails about this rug, and I hate to say it but I think you'll have a hard time tracking it down.

The rug is made by Safavieh, but we purchased it through Overstock and

I don't think it has been in stock since June.The colors in it are so amazing.

Yes that crooked "L" is driving me crazy

Spring Lane Pink and Orange Girl's Room

I got lots of excitement when I posted the inspiration board for this room a few weeks back,

Our original inspiration for the space came from this room by Palmer Weiss that was featured in Lonny:

The girls loved the bold orange headboards and the head shots

pictured above the beds so we knew that aspect of the room had to stay.

I found that perfect orange fabric for the headboards

at a local fabric wholesaler and we were on our way.

We based the whole room scheme around this amazing Potalla pattern from

Quadrille and purchased pillows made out of it from Woody Liana on Etsy.

Paint Color: Love and Happiness, Benjamin Moore

Roman Shades: Custom, Fabric Trina Turk Trellis in Watermelon for Schumacher
