Chez Sois {take five}

Finally, all the "pretties" are starting to be installed at Chez Sois and this is my favorite time of a project.  I get to see everything we've selected being installed and my design vision comes to life!

My client was on a well-deserved vacation for three weeks and so much was done while she was away.  There were a few moments I had to make some quick decisions on her behalf, but thank goodness nothing major happened.  The walls were put back up, cabinets were installed and tile started going in.

Here are the beginnings of the family room bookcase.  I'm in love with the cup pulls!

These glass doors are on the dining room cabinet. 

I was able to get a lot of detail in this small shower.

Master bath is coming together.  Can't wait for the lights to be installed!

Powder bath beauties....wait till you see what's going on the walls.

The second bedroom is becoming a dressing room (aka big closet), starting with these cabinets.

Paint samples went up last week.  We're going with a soft neutral throughout.  Please ignore the green...that was there and it's going to be quickly covered up.

Here's a sampling of what we are thinking of doing on the master bedroom ceiling.  The wallpaper is going in the master bath (love it so much).

The Parade is Coming to Town

Tallahassee's annual Parade of Homes starts this weekend and it is a great time to get out and see what's new in construction.  I was given the opportunity to work on one of the homes featured in the parade and I'm excited for everyone to come out and see it.  

My client called me in a panic about two months ago.  The house was almost finished, but there were so many things not coming together for her.  Paint colors, counters, kitchen back splash, cabinet hardware, window treatments, etc.  When I arrived that first day, the house looked like this...

As you can see, a lot had already been done, but my client was having a hard time pulling it all together and she HATED the counter tops she selected for the master bathroom....

So, we first tackled the paint colors (did you notice how many swatches she had painted everywhere?) and got those all worked out.  Then, little by little, the house came together.  We ended up changing out the master bath counters to something more neutral and less busy.  A very costly mistake that would have been avoided had she brought me into the project earlier.  Here are a few photos of the finished products that I helped with...

New Counters in Master Bath

Door Hardware

A brand new farm house!

There are 22 homes featured in the Parade and I encourage everyone to come out and see a few, especially if you are in the market to build or remodel.  The dates are May 12-13 & 19-20.  You can click here to get more information or stop by your local Publix and pick up a detailed guide.  

The home featured above is #17 on the parade.  It was built by White Oak Construction and is located in Centerville Conservation Community.  It's a gorgeous neighborhood and worth the drive to see the three parade homes located there.
