    I always love seeing before and afters–great work. And with that beautiful new duvet cover, I don't even mind the pine furniture, which I guess is the point!

    congrats on your article in Pure Style Home! before and afters are such fun. and a blank canvas to boot. wow.

    I've always struggled with the photo styling aspect. As a color designer, I've found it's very challenging to get access to a client's home once their project is complete. I generally can squeeze back in for a half hour or so to snap some pics, but most are resistant to the hassle of having a photographer and designer take over their house for a shoot. not to mention the extra visits to figure out what sort of "staging" is needed to make the shots look polished. Usually, I'm just shoving kids toys and piles of clothing out of the picture frame!

    Maria, you've selected a fantastic space to talk about. Great to see those 3 photos showing 3 different style stages. Love the movement you've given to that cute bookshelve. It's the way i do it 😉

    Really enjoyed this! Loved seeing the progressive pictures to the living area. beautiful and bright!

    Love the design & colour scheme and sometimes I flip back to your original post to study these pictures and try to figure out why you did this or that.

    I've been wondering why you added the green colour block and I believed it was to either balance the prints on the opposite wall or to ground the cabinet. I see now that it was a way to insert some colour since painting the entire place wasn't an option.

    Gosh, I spent all that time coming up with design theories and it was as simple as needing some colour on the wall! 🙂
