Refreshing Coastal Hues Add Relaxing Mood to Family-Friendly Space!



Lets not forget the baby!

 The goal for this project in Tigard was to create a relaxed style, provide continuity and balance and to maximize functionality for the family lifestyle.
What was lacking for this young family of four was a comfortable space in which to gather and relax together.....

The kitchen, casual dining area and large family room comprised an open space. My role was to make that space balanced and beautiful, but casual, functional and comfortable.



 A color palette was chosen that included the owner’s new red sectional and two leather chairs.

I introduced blue, seafoam and crisp, white materials like warm reclaimed wood, recycled glass and rope for an inviting, coastal mood and style. My client had purchased a beautiful paint that was used as the inspiration for the color palette.
The inspiration!
A larger size area rug was purchased to balance the large sectional. 

Dressers that flank the fireplace added more storage and new accessories help unite the fireplace with the fresh, new look.

The wall gallery ties both sides of the room together and adds depth and moving the wall clock to another space in the room was more balanced. We added floor lamps by the leather chairs for reading and table lamps by the fireplace to provide ambient lighting.

A console table behind the sofa and a pair of large, candle urns define the family room with mirror trays, glass ball and seashells providing more coastal textures.

We added fresh accessories to the casual dining area.

The end result? “It’s comfortable, coastal and fresh.”

 Until next time....

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future. In this message, it’s about the kitchen). ©Elle M Photography ©Elle M Photography Moving the TV created a gathering space that was inviting and cozy and closer to the kitchen/island area. Everyone likes to be near the food! Paint is a wonderful way to create change.  The kitchen cabinets set the tone and, fortunately, this family is not afraid of bringing color into their home. The SW 9134 Delft gloss paint is t...

Useful ideas on choosing a bookcase

Du interiors  Bookcases can be classical, fanciful, functional and personal …they really add to the anatomy of a room. They display your favorite reads as well as framed memories. There are so many options on deciding on the best for your nest. Here are important considerations. What Size Should Your Bookcase Be? The most basic consideration is size. How much space do you have in the room you have in mind? If space is ample, wide bookcases that measure several feet across are a good design idea. However, if room is small, go up! Taller bookcases work in space limitations, if you plan on placing a lot on them. Otherwise, one or more small bookcases would work.  Measure the room before you shop. What Type of Bookcase Do You Want? If you need inspiration, we suggest checking out houzz.com , Pinterest, Instagram, and so forth. There are so many choices on the market. What is Your Budget? Prices range from several hundred dollars to thousands if you want a custom built-...
