{E-Design Before and After} The Basement

April 11, 2013 by Amber Filed Under: before and after, design, e-decorating, e-design Leave a Comment

You are all in for a treat today! I have the most amazing clients ever and was happily surprised to see loads of after photos in my inbox this week! First up, I will show some beautiful pictures of a basement e-design I worked on over the winter. This client has done a tremendous job putting her spaces together and she has been such a joy to work with. Her basement is a great space and gets loads of natural light. Since the basement is such a large space, I will show just the bar/seating area today. Before contacting me, they already had plans to add a bar to this side of the basement. My client had great ideas for this zone and we worked together to select the bar stools and paint color for the bar. I also helped add some color and finishing touches to give the rooms a modern edge. Here are some before shots of the space…

Before

The existing pillows on her sofa {from the other side of the basement} had pretty shades of blue, orange and green, so I wanted to carry that color scheme into the rest of the basement. Here is the design board I came up with…

The Plan

We made minor adjustments here and there but kept the overall concept the same. There are pieces from this design board that you will see later, since I am only focusing on the bar/seating area today.

So without further adieu, here are the afters…

After

I am so excited for this client! She has done a wonderful job putting it all together. The contractors building the bar also made this space shine! I love the way it turned out, and I’m pretty sure my clients love it too!  🙂 To see my last post about this project with progress photos, go here.

The glow is so pretty at night and it transformed that original to the home chandelier! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #bhghome #hgtv #myballardstyle #yespb #sharemygrandin #diningroom #livingroom

The chandelier looks so much bigger for this space. The second image shows the before, so you can also compare! Sometimes, you don’t have to replace the whole light fixture. One new, small idea can make all the difference. Thanks so much @frontgate #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #hgtv #bhghome #loveyourhabitat #diningroom
I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive I’m excited for some chandelier shades to arrive for our dining room fixture. This light was here when we moved in and I think adding the cream shades will make the chandelier look bigger in scale and just give it a new look! Stay tuned… #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #sharemygrandin #yespb #myballardstyle #howyouhome #bhghome #hgtv #diningroom
Umbrella update… after two years, this @target f Umbrella update… after two years, this @target find still looks brand new! It has been through wind, rain and lots of sunshine and still has that beautiful navy blue color. I wasn’t able to find the exact one, but my Like to Know It page has two very similar options! And if you need me, I’ll be here all weekend! #amberbdesignathome #coastalliving #poolside
