SNEAK PEEK AT FALLS CHURCH CAPE COD

My clients have an adorable cape cod style home in Falls Church. They are both blessed with good taste and have been great to work with! We have been adding back some of the charm and style to the house, which underwent a total renovation by the previous owner.

The project is not yet completed, but they have been hard at work implementing their e-design. I snapped these when I dropped off a custom pillow and some trimmed-out off the shelf drapery panels for the guest room. They were also awaiting blind installation that day. Can't wait to see them hung!

BEFORE/AFTER: RUSTIC CONTEMPORARY

Large projects always take some time to come together. Although it's enormously preferable, sometimes installations simply cannot take place in one or two days. In these cases, it can be difficult for clients, because seeing results in pieces is never as satisfying as when you are able to do a 'big reveal'. It is nice in these situations to be able to go back and look at how far a project has come, from inception to installation.

So, without further ado, here are some before/after shots of the project we recently completed.

BEFORE: BETHESDA COLONIAL

We are very excited to be working on this new project with a lovely couple in Bethesda.

The owners recently completed a kitchen and basement renovation.

We will be creating plans for the existing breakfast area, living room (leading off the kitchen/breakfast area) and the basement, which is a completely brand spanking new space.

EVOLUTION OF A PROJECT: RUSTIC CONTEMPORARY

We are now a little over halfway through the project. Painting is completed, stone has gone up on the fireplace wall, much of the furniture has arrived and the window treatments are underway.
Here's a little sneak preview of the project.

Almost completed!

An oversized piece of blue stone similar to this will be the hearth

Furniture arrives in the repainted sunroom. Much more relaxing than that library red!

New paint in the basement

This hand forged lovely will soon be hanging over the breakfast table :)
