BEACH PROJECT

June 4, 2012 By Emi 3 Comments

If you keep up with our facebook and twitter posts, you may have noticed that Ashley and I have been down to the beach a few times over the past few months. Don’t be too jealous – it was for work – but I personally can’t think of a better place to be, even if it is for work.

We started with a pretty blank canvas – white walls, wood floors, chrome fixtures. Nothing to complain about by any means but lots of design and details to get nailed down.

Anyway, we are SUPER excited to share these pictures of the finished product:

Isn’t that view INSANE!!?

Oh, and check out the incredible outdoor living space…

We are so happy with how it turned out and hope the client is loving every second of vacation time at their new getaway. And just in case any one else needs help with a beach design project – we will gladly oblige.

Hope y’all enjoyed!

Happy Easter a little late

April 16, 2012 By Ashley Leave a Comment

Easter weekend vaca at Orange Beach with the WHOLE Freeman clan. We had such a great time celebrating the true meaning of Easter and family. We had perfect weather, yummy food, lots of sunshine and swim suits, a good amount of wine and margaritas…most importantly, we were all actually together. Here is a quick recap of the weekend in photos. (Katie and I took over 1000 pics together, not kidding.)

Beach House – Before & After

January 25, 2012 By Emi 3 Comments

This summer we worked on a house at Rosemary Beach for some of our favorite clients. It was full of dark wood molding and was purchased fully furnished with plenty of Texas Longhorn orange (maybe if it were Auburn orange it would be ok — just kidding). We used some of the existing furniture as well as some from the client’s previous house and some new pieces. The goal was to transform this fabulous three story house into what the client wanted…a light, comfortable, more casual and functional beach house.

ENTRY BEFORE

The entry was slightly art-deco and not super inviting.

ENTRY AFTER

A custom table, light rug, and beautiful lantern really warmed it up!

LIVING AREA BEFORE

Can you say dark?? - We were determined to break up all that wood!

LIVING AFTER

Drapery was the key!!

Light linens and textures really help make it more casual.

DINING BEFORE

So, so dark and lots of potential for more seating!

DINING AFTER

: A custom banquette provides A TON of seating and once again..breaks up the dark wood.

STUDY BEFORE

STUDY AFTER

We lightened it up and gave it symmetry to help ground the space.

MASTER BEDROOM BEFORE

Orange??

MASTER BEDROOM AFTER

First we rotated the placement of the bed so that it is the focal point. Draping off the whole wall behind the bed allowed us to ignore the window and place the bed in the center of the wall. Art hung in front of drapery is one of Ashley's favorites.
