I am happy when my clients are satisfied with my design ideas 😉

This summer I shared Part One of Quarry Lake Kitchen project and here is Part two: the entry, living and dining room.

Carrie, a health coach and Michael, a physical therapist, built their home 20 years ago and called upon Du Interiors for some major updating.

With Du Interior design advice they now have a house they love coming home to. We are pleased that they said the following:

"Dulce's a great person to be around. The result is fantastic.

She really listens and pays attention to what's important to you. She helped create a home we both love. Everyone who walks in comments on how good our home looks."

Du Interiors was asked to update the entire ground floor, including entry, living room, dining room, bath, kitchen and family room. The designer is now working with them to update the second floor. The design for the master bedroom has been chosen; they are waiting for furniture and other furnishings before completing the new look

Maple-colored cabinets were re-painted a shade of blue (SW 9134 Delft gloss finish) to coordinate the new color theme that brightens the entire home. The new backsplash has white subway tile that "really sets it off," said Carrie.

All the oak floors were stained a darker shade after the carpet was removed. All the walls that were browns and dark red now have the new color. (SW 7621 Silvermist Eggshell finish)

A dramatic change was the window treatment in the living room, recommend by Dulce. They now hang from floor to ceiling. "It changed the entire look. I couldn't believe it," said Carrie.

Accessories are the special touches that truly make a house a home. The accent pillow is from one of Carrie's trip.

This bath was modernized with new pedestal sink, new toilet and vanity mirror. Grass cloth wallpaper was added. The result: a refreshing new appearance.

In any profession, testimonials are priceless.

Thank you Carrie & Michael!

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!
