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!

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...
