Don’t miss Street of Dreams in August


When August rolls around there is an event you do not want to miss. Street of Dreams is an opportunity to tour six exquisitely appointed home with the latest in home décor, introducing you to amazing lifestyles.
You will be awed by what you see whether you are considering building a new home or wishing to remodel yours. Street of Dreams is inspiring!

Highlights:

The “museum signs” within the homes include fun facts, information on sustainability and smart home technology (EPS-energy Performance Score).

Black and narrow profile (metal and vinyl) window and door frames provide maximum glass view to enjoy our marvelous Northwest landscape.



Simplicity is the key WORD in design. 
What’s so great about today’s design styles is that you will not only discover new ones you’ve never known, but there will be many favorable choices from which to choose.
Keep things simple so that your environment can absorb new accents and accessories, the most affordable way to make changes in your home.
Accents and accessories help designers like me and homeowners adding unique pieces that give character to our homes.

Wallpaper!
This design element is on trend more than ever. Wallpaper adds texture, pattern, dimension, color, drama and more. I use it in guest and master bedrooms, home offices, social bathrooms, kids rooms, playrooms, ceilings…you name it.

Along with wallpaper, PAINT can make a BIG change at low cost. Paint is not just for covering walls, but is also used for windows and door trim, built-ins and kitchen cabinets. Popular colors are white, gray, blue and green.



White and painted SHIPLAP is a big element in interior and exterior design that everyone is talking about, whether an industrial farmhouse or modern design. Shiplap is used indoors for the natural or rustic look that it creates when used as paneling or a covering for a wall and ceiling. It is often used to describe any rabbeted siding material that overlaps in similar fashion.  


Natural wood is a natural choice throughout a home from open shelves in the kitchen to bath cabinets and accent ceiling trim and architectural elements.


Are you planning a visit to the Street of Dreams? I would love to hear your thoughts.

…and Happy August!

When a year comes to an end it is a time to reflect back and look forward.

It’s a time to wish you a very Happy New Year from Du Interiors!  No doubt we have all had a difficult and different two years with all kinds of challenges. A lot has changed for all of us.

Couple builds dream home in Walla Walla

Melissa & Mike visiting the construction site... a marvelous winter landscape! The calendar years of 2020/2021 have been one of the most challenging and unpredictable years of my life. On the other hand, they have also been one of my best professionally. The saying time flies when you are busy is true! My last blog was in November! Therefore, I am enjoying taking a break and sharing with you my pleasure in having had an opportunity to meet some wonderful new clients and catch up with existing clients. They kept me busy with consultations, renovations, new contractors and problem-solving with people working and teaching their children at home. You might think the interval during new construction won't have much of an effect on interior design, but decisions made from initial drawings and during construction have a profound effect on home decor. They set the groundwork for client satisfaction, such as this project. As the point person for a couple building their third (and fi...
