Designed With Grace & Joy

 Man oh man, are we lucky to be able to surround ourselves with professionals who share the same philosophies, values and drive as we do! 🙌🏼 Last week we got the chance to sit down with Tailored Living of Carlsbad, Palm Desert & Temecula and we are simply so excited to be able to have this amazing company as a resource for all our local clients.  The quality and care that goes into each closet, garage, pantry, built in (and so much more) is top notch! ✨ Let's dream up something fun (and functional, of course!) for your space, and watch it come to fruition! And be sure to check them out to see some of the amazing custom solutions that they offer! 🤍

 This one not only looks like a completely different space...it actually FEELS like it too! 🙌🏻 For this #transformationtuesday, we are so thrilled to share this den transformation with you from @happy_trees_lodge! 🌲  The entire space was really turned upside down, and I think the only thing we left alone was those beautiful wooden doors to the laundry area, because 😍😍😍😍 ✔️ New Flooring  ✔️ New Paint  ✔️ New Window Coverings ✔️ All new functional furnishings, with a sofa sleeper for extra guests ✔️ A comfy feel that makes you excited to relax and have some fun 🤩  What’s the first thing you’d do in this space? I can tell you my husband put in some MILES on that arcade game! 🥴😂

 We are SO thrilled to find out that we were among those awarded Best of the Best for vacation rental design by Home Staging Resources! 😍🙌🏼 This was for all three of the bedrooms of this adorable Big Bear Airbnb, and after finally being able to see the spaces in person last week, this accolade is extra special! 🥰 To read the full article and see alllll the before pics, click here: https://homestagingresource.com/vacation-rental-design.../ ✨ By the way...don't forget that if you book from now until October, you can save 15% with the code Grace&Joy !  Head to @happy_trees_lodge to get more info! ✨

 We do so many bathrooms and kitchens, and often times people worry about re-introducing their old shampoo, conditioner, or soap bottles in the new space. 😅 Simple solution: buy decorative bottles and just refill them as needed!  It's not only more beautiful, but it's better for the environment and can be much easier on the wallet! 👏🏼 Here are just a few bathrooms and kitchens that we've put decorative bottles in of late...😏

 Happy #transformationtuesday! 🤍 We are SO proud of how this bathroom turned out. 😍 This client wanted to totally transform her kids' bathroom (before her own, no less -- what a good mom! 😇), and we were able to do so for much less than she was thinking.  And we had to make sure that it was gender neutral, as it was boy and girl siblings sharing it. Challenge accepted!! 💪🏼👏🏼 Now, the kids have an updated and much more modern space that will last them for years! 🥰 Scroll all the way down for the before!

 Mondays are rarely fun, but at least you can shop this gorgeous Mid-Century Modern bedroom! Woven and natural materials, clean lines and a more simplistic look...yes, please!! 

 I so wish I would have gotten a full "before" picture of this music room, because these #transformationtuesday pictures don't even do it justice! 🎸 These clients wanted to change the vibe of the whole space and make it feel more moody and creative-inducing.  You KNOW my first thought went to paint, and this Sherwin-Williams paint color completely achieved that!  😎 Then, adding a classy and visually light brass chandelier was like the cherry on top! 🤗

I always tell clients “It’s already going to be pretty. We just need to make sure it’s functional!” 🙌🏻 This entry is the epitome of that for a couple of reasons: ✨ When we decided we were going to put in new flooring, we had the option to continue it onto the stairs and foyer. We chose not to, first of all to have it truly stand out design-wise, but also because if we did that, it wouldn’t give a lot of contrast between the regular flooring and steps. Thus, making it a HUGE tripping hazard. Any time you have steps, and even if you’re planning to use the same flooring, it’s SO important to distinguish it is some way. That way, your eyes recognize it and are able to note the differing heights.   ✨ One way to do that is with a different color or tile riser, which is very popular right now. But it can even be a simple and laying the flooring in a different direction on the step piece. Or, you can do it in a completely different material all together, like we chose to do here.  ✨ Although

  I'm pretty passionate about making every space beautiful....but especially the laundry room. 🥰 Why? 👀 Because we spend SO much time in there doing something that MOST people don't like.  (Amy Beaver, you're an anomaly!) I just love how this one came out, and even though we still need to find a good rug, I am so excited to share it with you! 🤍 Make sure to scroll all the way down for the before!
