Project Reveal, Globally Inspired

It was brought to my attention (a few times now) that I have been slacking on posting to the blog. I believe it was put to me as "Hey I checked your blog the other day to see what you've been up to, and there was still the damn Christmas tree! Oh, and the post before that was a jack o lantern. Just sayin..."

Well, point taken and well said Viv!! It's time to make a concerted effort to post again and let you in on some of the workings here at Whitney Perez Interiors!!!

Here is the long over due final pics from my Globally Inspired project. I'm so thrilled with how this project turned out with the rich masculine under tones and organic globally inspired references.

Here are the "Before and After" pictures for my Globally Inspired bachelor pad.

One of the greatest parts to designing spaces is that they are all different. I take someones wants and ideas and translate them in to their finished space so that it has a designed finish and yet is still very much them. I love when I get an off beat taste which pushes me stretch my own ideas and abilities to give them something that they could only imagine. I find these challenges exciting and creative as a designer, and this project is a great example of that!

I am looking forward to sharing more with you and moving forward with the newly styled

Beach Chic Project Reveal

Good morning,

Today I want to share with you some of the after pictures for my Beach Chic project. You've seen a couple sneak peek pics of it, but not the finished results. This project was for a small family who wanted an updated a fresh look in their home. There were some pretty good basics going on, but the space needed to be tied together especially since all the rooms flow together.

Take a look at some before and after pictures.

Sometimes in a project I have to work around existing furnishings or colors due to a client's liking or budget. In this case there are some main items such as the "big red" sofa and the dark furnishings in the dining room that posed a challenge. There is also a lack of lighting in this home, and it wasn't in the budget to go with the over head lighting that we originally wanted. There are also challenges with builder's model type homes where you have basic flooring and moldings  and not much else in the way of character. In this case the details go a long way to dress the home up and make it unique. To overcome this we anchored the space with a light modern grey throughout and added accessories, lighting, draperies and accents all in polished light tones and eye catching focal points.

I worked closely within the client's budget being careful with what was chosen and where we spent. There were many DIY projects here, and the client was amazing  and took on many of the extras where ever needed to make the budget work. In the end there were things that had to be cut off the list such as extra lighting or draperies, or the large scale art for now, but overall this home is absolutely beautiful and looks and feels complete.

The goal here was to unify all the existing elements which was what the home owner found challenging, after all it's not easy to make a large red sectional feel current. I would say that goal was accomplished and the rooms flow well with the main obstacles over come.The home owners love their new space and it was a pleasure making it happen. I love the feeling that you get when you walk in it feels like a breathe of fresh air. It's also amazing how much larger it feels with things such as the well defined foyer and the large scale chandeliers.

What do you think of the finished results?
