Reader Redesign: Radiant Redo

When Frances sent these photos of her recent living room makeover our way, we couldn’t wait to share the eye candy. Here’s her letter:

I’m a huge fan of your site and what you do. For that reason, I wanted to introduce myself and submit these photos of a recent project that I completed in a one bedroom co-op in Great Neck, NY. I hope you find it worthy to feature on your site. It would be a huge treat for me.

Here are a few of my sources: Wall Color: Benjamin Moore Silken Pine, All Drapery: Pottery Barn, Drapery Hardware and woven shades: The Shade Store, Living/entry way rugs: Decora Rugs, Entry Way mirror: Source Perrier, Entry Way console: Mitchell Gold, Entryway Chair: Ballard Designs, Entertainment Unit: Stickley Furniture, Sofa and Reading Chair: TCS Designs, Cocktail Table: Hickory Chair, Ceramic Stool: Wisteria, Floor Lamp: Pottery Barn, Desk Lamp: Z Gallerie, Accessories: Target, Home Goods, Ikea, Z Gallerie, Dransfield & Ross.

Thanks for all the tips and great reading! Keep up the great work!  -Frances

Is that not a stunning transformation? We even think it’s a bit reminiscent of one of our favorite designers, Candace Olson. In a word: fab. We’ve eyed that canvas above the sofa at Ikea a million times, and it looks just as amazing as we always pictured it would up on the wall in a soft and serene living space. Deeeelicious!

Fab indeed! I totally see a bit of Candace Olson in the room. Great job!

That is one gorgeous living room- congratulations on a job well done!

Just curious…is it safe to have those drapes over the baseboard heating?

Wow! I love it…..I’m trying to find the rugs on the Decora web site but can’t….anyone know the name?

Hi Everyone, thank you for your kind comments! I’m so thrilled with the feed back.

I’d love to answer your questions directly. Send me an email and I’ll answer any questions or provide any design tips/info you need.

All the best,
Frances

Hi Sherry,

Thanks for the color ideas! I have tried 4 different colors in the bedrooms, but still haven’t found a good one yet! Back to Lowe’s I go. If the stupid blue carpet wasn’t in such great shape, I would definitely have gotten rid of it by now and saved myself a lot of time!

Love this blog! Keep up the good work!
Susan

That is an awesome redesign! I have a half-bath in that shade and I was thinking I needed to do something to warm it up. You have given me plenty of color inspiration.

so beautiful and serene, I just love it!
