Welcome to Week 4 of the One Room Challenge, created by Linda from Calling it Home. She's challenged talented designers and invited those of us in the blogosphere to create a room transformation in just 6 weeks.

I am working with a client on a kitchen renovation. The renovation is taking place within the original footprint of the kitchen and we are working with a moderate budget.

Week 1

Week 2

Week 3

This week we focused on finding counterstools, finalizing paint colors for the cabinets and the walls, confirming hardware, lighting and refinishing the floors!

We ended up going with these super affordable counter stools from EZMOD.

And BTW, EZMOD has excellent customer service! One of the bases arrived damaged and they sent a new one, lickety split!

The options for the stain on the hardwood floors were presented:

(blue tape is being used to open them since the hardware is not here yet!)

And just to recap, this is the kitchen before:

We're getting there!

Tune in next week!

Cheers!

Hi all,

I'm so enthused to be able to share that I am joining the One Room Challenge (ORC) as a linking participant.

Linda from Calling it Home created the ORC as a motivational and inspirational six week challenge to get one room designed and finished. She's invited 20 bloggers, and then spread the love by allowing those of us who would like to link up to participate as well.

So, what is my One Room Challenge?

It's a client's kitchen, that we are going to endeavor to modernize without changing it's footprint.

Here it is before:

What's our goal?

Here's our inspiration:

Transitional Kitchen by Seattle Interior Designers & Decorators Studio 212 Interiors

Traditional Kitchen by Minneapolis Architects & Designers Charlie & Co. Design, Ltd

We're planning on removing the overhead hanging cabinets, painting and refacing the existing cabinetry, replacing the formica with carrera marble slabs, adding a backsplash, new lighting, upgrading appliances, eliminating the vinyl flooring and replacing with hardwood....and creating overall pizazz!

All within a moderate budget!

Stay tuned for next week!

Interior Design: Before & After Bathroom Remodel

My clients have two young daughters and needed this bathroom to more efficient with storage and space. They wanted a timeless design in their 100 year old home that would transition with the girls as they grow from playing in the bathtub as toddlers, to maximizing space needed for makeup, hairdryers, etc as they become teenagers.

Interior Design, Art and Retail Therapy

Art is a big focus for me and especially, original art. My home is filled with art that I’ve collected over the years and I’m constantly rotating pieces around my house! Art makes a room!

Interior Design: Before and After Dining Room

There is nothing like spending time in a happy and bright space that brings joy. This family loves to use their dining room for weekly ‘family game nights’ and theme parties as well as hosting their friends for dinner. I’m excited to share the details of the transformation!

Interior Design: A Pretty Place for Reading

In this project, in Orinda, Ca., I was tasked with coming up with a design solution for a landing space at the top of a stairwell. It was a space that was too small for a loveseat and chairs, and too big and open to use as a home office.
