I am beyond thrilled to reveal the photos from Project Classic Trad!! This was such a great project to be a part of, with amazing clients and an overall style that is right up my alley… a blend of traditional with modern. Today, I’m showing the living room and first floor bathroom. I couldn’t be happier to be working with Sarah Heppell on this project. She brought the rooms to life through her pictures and showed a sun filled space on a very cloudy day. That takes talent!! Here is the photo overload… enjoy!!

 

{I love that we upholstered my client’s favorite wing chair in new fabrics. Tonic Living has the best fabric options to choose from and a local upholsterer created this magic. I call it business in the front and party in the back!}

Thank you for stopping by and checking out the photo tour of Project Classic trad! Have a great day!

Project Farmhouse Gem Reveal!!

I guess it’s reveal week on the blog! I am thrilled to show you the after photos from Project Farmhouse Gem. You may remember some of these furniture pieces and accessories, as they are from Project Vintage Gem. My client has recently married and moved from her city apartment into a farmhouse. I was asked to come back and design her sunroom in her new home and it was fun to reconnect and see what we could use from the first project. We worked again with the wonderful and amazing Sarah Heppell and had the best time looking back on when we all met. Sarah also photographed my client’s wedding and brought over the new album, so that was such a special day for so many reasons! Let’s get right to the photos, shall we!?!

Thank you for stopping by to check out this latest project! A special thanks to my clients for allowing us into their new home. And thank you to Sarah for these amazing after photos and for being the incredible talent you are!!

Project Rustic Modern Reveal Part 2!!

by Filed Under: #ProjectRusticModern, amber b design, design, dining room, interior design, sarah heppell photography


Happy Monday! I’m back with another reveal over at Project Rustic Modern. Today, it’s all about the dining room! This space also had a dramatic transformation, with the power of paint! The walls above the wainscoting had a warm gold tone. This cool navy blue gave a nice balance to the wood floors and furniture. The walls, lighting and accessories changed, but the furniture and area rug stayed the same. These photos are taken by Sarah Heppell Photography. Enjoy!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With all of the warm wood tones in the room, I was careful to select accessories that complimented and didn’t compete. The big items to offset the warmth are the cool navy walls and the oversized, soft white buffet lamps. They provided contrast and a brightness against the warm pieces seen in the space. I hope you liked the reveal of these rooms! The bright colors definitely get me ready for summer!!

Enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hoped you enjoyed round one of Project Rustic Modern. Up next week, the dining room! Have a great weekend!!

Guest Room 2 Source List {Project Bedroom Refresh}

by Filed Under: #projectbedroomrefresh, amber b design, design, guest room, interior design, sarah heppell photography


Today is the final installment from the source list series in Project Bedroom Refresh. This was such a fun project with amazing clients! I always love to see the completed product after the initial vision and hard work. There’s nothing like it. And seeing it through the lens of talented photographer Sarah Heppell is such a treat! This is the front guest room in their home. This was a bit of a diversion from the other two bedrooms, in that blue wasn’t a main color {or a color at all!} But that’s ok. You don’t have to have all of the same colors throughout your home, in every room. It is important to take a couple of similar elements, to tie the spaces together. We did that here with texture, earth tones and an overall neutral palette. We also added the buffalo check print again, but just in a different colorway. Enjoy!

 

// drapes // roman shades & curtain rods // round mirror – Hobby Lobby // bedskirt // quilt // sheets //

// headboard // side tables // throw pillows // vases & throw – Home Goods // mirrors – Hobby Lobby //

// woven basket – Target // throw //

// tufted ottoman, tray & marble gem – Target // pillow & art – Home Goods // design book //

I hope you enjoyed the tour through this design process. It’s also fun for me to look back and see the various stores and sources that go into a room design. It helps to bring a collected over time feel to a space. Have a wonderful day!

Master Bedroom Source List {Project Bedroom Refresh}

by Filed Under: #projectbedroomrefresh, amber b design, design, interior design, sarah heppell photography


With a new year, comes new blog posts! I have made it a goal of mine to write more on this blog. I love having this little space on the web and it’s fun to look back at past projects! As promised, I am going to look back on Project Bedroom Refresh and give a complete source list for products in each room. First up, is the master bedroom. My clients have always had a traditional design aesthetic and were looking to bring an updated, fresh take on that for the bedrooms. That style is right up my alley, as I love a great blend of modern with traditional. And the beautiful after photography is all by the very talented, Sarah Heppell Photography.

 

bed mirror // greek key pillows // dragon lumbar pillow // duvet and shams // sconces // drapes // linen shades // wall color // curtain rods // sheets – Home Goods

Project Bedroom Refresh… The Final Reveal

by Filed Under: #projectbedroomrefresh, amber b design, before and after, design, guest room, interior design, local clients, sarah heppell photography


Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. Ours was packed with fun family events and finishing up our Christmas decorating. I am ready to show you the final reveal for Project Bedroom Refresh! Up today… the front guest room. My clients were wonderful to work with. It was a blast for us all to see the three rooms take shape. And the final icing on the cake was seeing Sarah work her photography magic. There is something so rewarding and exciting about seeing the finished designs through her lens. We worked with my clients dresser and table lamps. We refreshed the space with a new wall color, headboard and accessories. On Friday, I mentioned that there would be a bit of a change in this space and not incorporate all of the same colors. I went without the blue in here, but you’ll notice the neutrals and even some buffalo check, helps to tie the three rooms together. So let’s get right to it! Here is the room when we began…

Project Bedroom Refresh… The Reveal Part 2

by Filed Under: #projectbedroomrefresh, amber b design, before and after, design, guest room, interior design, sarah heppell photography


Welcome back to another reveal day for Project Bedroom Refresh! Today, it’s all about the back guest room. I carried in the same shades of blue from the master bedroom, to tie the two spaces together. My client’s home has blue and neutrals throughout, so this brought some continuity to the overall design. And like yesterday, the wonderfully talented Sarah Heppell Photography took the gorgeous after photos! Here is where the room began…

We kept the headboard and one dresser for the space. We also used some of my client’s art work for the walls. And here it is now…

My clients really love the laid back coastal vibe this room has and how it ties in well with their master bedroom. On Monday, I’ll be back for Part 3 and the final reveal… the front guest room! The third room will be a bit of a diversion with the color story, but it will be tied together through fabric patterns and an overall neutral design. Stay tuned!

 

 

Project Bedroom Refresh… The Reveal Part 1

It is like Christmas came early around here… it’s reveal day!! I love being able to see a project from beginning to end. And once my favorite photographer, Sarah, puts her magical stamp on the project, it’s ready to reveal! I have loved working with Sarah on several design projects. She shows every room in its best possible way. So let’s get right to it! First up, will be the master bedroom. My clients wanted to update their bedroom, as well as their two guest rooms. They hadn’t been decorated in some time and they were looking for a major change. They like a traditional style and were ready to infuse some modern design to the mix, as well. Here is where the master bedroom started…

We kept most of the furniture for this room and gave it a design update. And here is where we are now…
