More little boy's rooms today! We all know how I feel about using 'themes' in kids rooms </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(well, any room for that matter) and in the </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we incorporated elements of sports in one and transportation in the other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We did this all through small accessories which can be easily be replaced with little to no cost. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Remember to keep the basic elements classic and bring in character through accessories. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You will get a whole heck of a lot more mileage out of your room!</div>

Let's face it, wallpaper is expensive. I'll be the first to admit it. Initially wallpaper doesn't seem quite so spendy as most papers are priced in a single roll. Most vendors make you buy double rolls, though, even if you just need one. In my experience, this leads to a LOT of leftover wallpaper, up to a full roll, that can cost $30-100+ in waste. The Ms. Frugal in me just can't handle that kind of loss, especially when the paper is so beautiful! </div>

I especially love this idea for kid's closets, as their clothes are so small, you'd actually be able to see and enjoy the interior of the closet. Unless you know how to install wallpaper yourself, this project may be best left to the professionals (which we did). If you want to try your hand at wallpapering, though, the closet may be a good place to start, because you can easily hide your mistakes!</div>

This project is my personal favorite, maybe because I did this one all by myself. If I can accomplish a successful DIY, ANYONE can! I purchased four large square Ribba frames from Ikea, for $20 a piece. When I got them home, I popped out the ready made mat and sprayed the front of the mat with 3M SUPER 77. I can not stress how important getting the right brand of spray adhesive is. I spent years upon years trying to find an adhesive just as good as Super 77 but not so pricey. It doesn't exist. Trust me. I can't tell you how many of my projects would literally fall apart as I was turning them in... so frustrating. Many tears were shed. Just buy the Super 77. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once the mats were sprayed, I laid them glue-side-down on the wallpaper remnant's backside. I waited a few minutes for the glue to dry, then I used an Xacto knife to cut out the wallpaper from the mat's opening.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I popped the covered mat back into the frame and wallah! Customized matting.</div>

These lamps were purchased by my client at our local Home Goods, one of my favorite sources for affordable lamps. I adore the lattice-like ceramic base for a girl's room but paired with a cream colored shade, the lamps were... a little boring. Using a method similar to covering the mats, we turned the ho-hum shades into stunners! I'll admit, I didn't tackle this project myself, but when researching if this was possible, I came across this useful video:</div>

This precious baby was my client's first girl so the client had two request:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">PINK AND PURPLE.</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These colors can be tricky to work with, as they can get too 'little girl' real fast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is definitely a fine line between chic and saccharine. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first jumping off point was the amazing Anna French wallpaper from Thibaut. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pretty calla lily print on a light purple irridescent background is jaw dropping in person. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I paired this paper with <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/pinkcloud">Benjamin Moore's Pink Cloud</a> paint and we had<br />
the perfect background for this little princess's room.<br />

keep this room youthful but not too childish. </div>

We had a limited budget in the en suite bathroom so we used some budget-friendly tricks. </div>

splurged on pink rose knobs from Anthropologie.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">CANYON CREST LIVING ROOM</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we had the task of using furniture pieces from my client's previous home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This can be a challenge for many people. Lucky for us, the living room was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pretty neutral to begin with, so it was a matter of rethinking the floor plan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and adding in pillows and accessories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The entryway into the living room had a long bare beam across the top. It was odd. Very odd. Every time I would visit the home, I would scratch my head and think "why in the world is that beam there?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My solution? <span style="font-size: x-large;">BARN DOORS!</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh how I love barn door hardware and I was excited to incorporate the look in this space.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The half bath on the main level was SCAAARRRYYYYY when we started. It's a small space with no windows and a high wood paneled ceiling... and it was blood bath red. I'm not kidding. It looks liked someone was massacred in the half bath. Instead of spending hours upon hours trying to prime and paint over the dark dark red, we decided to cover it in a light grasscloth wallpaper. This ain't your momma's grasscloth either. It has a slight metallic sheen to it which reflects light and makes this little room shine! Add in a little quatrefoil mirror (from <a href="http://modern-sophisticate.blogspot.com/2011/02/look-for-less-quatrefoil-mirror.html">this post</a>), some rustic sconces, geometric rug and art and this blood bath of a bathroom is transformed into a jewel box!</div>

I'm excited to introduce you to the <span style="font-size: x-large;">CANYON CREST</span> home!</div>
</div>

This home was purchased by my client a little more than a year ago and though it wasn't a total gut job, it was pretty darn close. The first time I stepped into the family room I thought to myself "this is where taxidermy goes to die." Almost every member of the deer family was represented on the walls: elk, buffalo, antelope... all staring at you from two stories up. CRREEEEEPPPPYYYYY... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(to see before shots of this space as well the custom furniture process, <a href="http://modern-sophisticate.blogspot.com/2011/03/day-in-life-of-designer.html">click here</a>).

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say, this home was a little more rustic than my client's personal taste. First thing we did was rip out worn shaggy carpet (can we PLEASE get over that trend?) and replaced it with a loop pile broadloom that resembled sisal (MUCH more tailored and timeless). We repainted the faux-plastered walls in <a href="http://www.color-swatches.com/kwal-howells/core-colors/old-washer/cl-2902w/swatch.html">Kwal's Old Washer</a> and restained a lot of the stain grade baseboards. This proved to be the perfect facelift!! It did wonders. Once we had the base of the room squared away, it was just a matter of layering in a fun elements, like a rug from Anthropologie, a huge custom ottoman in a Celerie Kemble fabric, and lattice wingback chairs from Bassett Furniture.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the kitchen and dining space, there were two existing stains: a honey tone on the knotty alder and a dark java. Since we wanted to add as much light into this space as possible, we painted out all the dark java elements, namely, the oven range area, island, and built-in china hutch. We replaced the dated Tuscan lighting fixtures with more contemporary glass pendants adding even more brightness to the space.</div>

To jazz up the built-in china hutch, we also wallpapered the back of the cabinet in a pretty blue geometric print. Having the colored background really makes the accessories pop!</div>

You may have noticed we are using similar materials throughout this home. We used different versions of subway tiles, concrete counter tops with integrated sinks, pendant lights, frameless beveled mirrors, and contemporary chrome faucets to add consistency from top to bottom.</div>

Outdoor patios of yesteryear use to be the last space to be designed in a home. Most people would buy a matching patio set (usually made of wrought iron), add an outdoor umbrella and call it good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today's patios are more like outdoor family spaces, with soft weather resistant fabrics,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pillows, sofas, end tables, etc. Take a look at the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">BERKSHIRE'S FAMILY ROOM + PATIO,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and how similar the indoor/outdoor spaces are!</div>

The fire pit was custom built by the same concrete company that made all the counter tops. </div>

Recognize the brick on the fireplace? It's the same brick we used on the exterior. Using the brick was a great way to add a sense of age to the newly built space as well as consistency to the home. </div>

We needed a 16x16 rug in the family room, so <a href="http://www.flor.com/">Flor tile</a> came to our rescue again! </div>

the 2nd kitchen and family room, and a couple more bathrooms.</div>

So far I've only been able to reveal the floating shelves (as seen on <a href="http://modern-sophisticate.blogspot.com/2012/03/brooke-jones-on-studio-5-floating.html">Studio 5</a>)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but there is so much more to this kitchen! I can't decide what I love most:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stained concrete counter tops? The coffer and bead board ceiling? The sleek stainless steel hood? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The TWO sinks and TWO dishwashers? The fridge that is the size of my first post-college apartment?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There's just too many goodies packed in this modern kitchen design!</div>

The above cabinetry is actually a hidden door to the pantry. </div>

I wish I could take credit for that idea but that was 100% my client. So clever!</div>

I am a big believer in designing kid spaces for the future, not just for today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kids grow up, so if a space is designed around an age specific theme </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(i.e. Winnie the Pooh, Super Man...) then you have placed an expiration date on the space. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Someday the kid will outgrown the theme and you will have some redecorating on your hands.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wTmrii__5JI/UDTjYGxtuKI/AAAAAAAADB8/Jm3ykfpyFQo/s1600/Youth+Bath+Collage.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="486" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wTmrii__5JI/UDTjYGxtuKI/AAAAAAAADB8/Jm3ykfpyFQo/s640/Youth+Bath+Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you design kids spaces that are YOUTHFUL instead of YOUNG, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then the space will grow with your child.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great examples of this concept are the </div>

Though the boys of the house love Toy Story and Cars, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we designed their rooms around basic stripes and industrial finishes, like gunmetal and chrome.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The 'young'-ness comes in through their toys and easily replaced items, like shower curtain hooks.</div>

Do you recognize the nightstands (or at least the corner of the nightstands)?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were actually the master bedroom's nightstands that were made to the wrong measurements. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the addition of a low profile gunmetal bed, though,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we were able to save these gorgeous pieces from the recycle pile!</div>

The kid's desk area is open to the main kitchen (which I'll be revealing in all it's glory tomorrow) so we repeated the island's materials. We painted the desk a charcoal grey, added stainless steal pulls, installed stained concrete counter tops and hung three globe pendants in row.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">BERKSHIRE'S MASTER BEDROOM + BATH</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may want to hide out forever and never see the light of day again. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Out of every room I have ever designed, this space reflects my personal style the most.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After searching high and low for large scaled bed and nightstands, we decided to go the custom route.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sketched up the upholstered wing back bed for <a href="https://plus.google.com/108723087037784384211/about?gl=us&hl=en">my upholsterer</a> and my client worked </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with her cabinet maker to create the substantial sized nightstands. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Can you spot the lucite pulls? I mean, I die...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anything ready made would have looked under scaled under this vaulted ceiling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rug was a design obstacle as we needed something around the 12'x16' range. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The solution? <a href="http://www.flor.com/">Flor tiles</a>!! Not only were we able to get the size that fit the room, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we were also able to customize the color palette and design. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You'll see a lot more of these awesome Flor tiles throughout this home. </div>

For the <span style="font-size: x-large;">MASTER BATHROOM</span> we </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
decided to go a little more glamorous than the rest of the house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Beveled mirrors, crystal knobs/pulls and amazing light fixtures.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We used a mix of materials throughout this space. The free standing tub surround is limestone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the counter tops are stained concrete, with porcelain tiles for the back splash and floor.</div>

The client wanted a home that reflected her personal taste and lifestyle.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When she couldn't find a home on the market that fit her needs, she decided it was time to build. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And build she did! The client is an amazing interior designer on her own but </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with a job on this scale, she called me in for reinforcements. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both of our personal aesthetics are clean, clean, clean, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so it working with her was a natural fit!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We decided the term for her style of home was </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">MODERN CRAFTSMAN,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as we couldn't go too contemporary in a neighborhood surrounded by ginormous </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tuscan villas. We received our inspiration from East coast style homes: Cape Cod, Shaker, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We then mixed it all up with natural materials, like stone and wood, to make it more </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Out of every detail in this home, the exterior lanterns just may be my favorite element. Did you know white exterior lights are impossible to find?? Which makes no sense to me, considering how popular white trim is for exteriors... Anyway, we looked into manufacturing our own lights but when the quotes came back ($$ CHA-CHING!!$$), we decided a little DIY was in order. We found lanterns where we liked the shape, spray painted the oil rubbed bronze out white, replaced the dated yellow seeded glass with clear panels and topped it off with a round clear light bulb. We did this for every. lantern. on. the exterior. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Good thing they turned out so gosh darn beautiful! </div>

I am so excited to get a few detail shots of my projects back!</div>

Today's preview is of a newly constructed custom home where I assisted in </div>

designing details from the custom upholstered bed down to the doorknobs and hinges. </div>

Have you<a href="http://pinterest.com/sophisticate/"> Pinners</a> out there ever noticed sometimes your pins </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
look absolutely amazing together? It has happened a few times to me, actually. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll just be pinning unrelated pieces and when I review my pin history I think </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"holy crap, those look good together!" I created a board from my latest "AHA" moment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We all know I'm a fan of <a href="http://modern-sophisticate.blogspot.com/2011/09/perfect-pair-grey-gold-details.html">gold and grey</a> but I would never have thought to add some </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
golden peach tones into the mix, if it weren't for this </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">GREY & PEACH </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I die over the pair of abstract paintings. The layering of different mediums </div>

driving through corn field after corn field, I am </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">FINALLY RELOCATED IN OHIO</span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whew! Remind me how awful moving is next time I get the itch for a change of scenery, will you? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was rough but I made it through. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's an Instagram dump from my travels:</div>

Besides nesting tables, another great solution to add more flexibility to a small space are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">PUZZLE TABLES.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To me, they are all about the cool factor. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are the not-quite-as-functional but super stylish cousin to the nesting table. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Puzzle tables can be bunched together for a large surface area or broken up into small sections.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As I'm preparing to leave my home state, I am looking around and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
realizing all the things and places I'm going to miss </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(don't even mention the mountains to me... I don't want to think about leaving those yet). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite places I have only recently discovered is </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.thecopperonion.com/">THE COPPER ONION</a></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in Salt Lake. I'd describe it as an American take on a Parisian Bistro. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have multiple food allergies like I do, they are more than accommodating, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took what may have been my last brunch there this weekend, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which was great timing as they just wrapped up a little interior face lift. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some people find it surprising I would rather design a small space than a larger one. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">In fact, I personally would never want to live in a space more than about 2,500 square feet. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Large McMansions just eat up furniture and it's hard to create a </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">warm inviting environment that's on a human scale. Living in a smaller space </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">doesn't mean living without, though, one just needs to know how to optimize the space you have.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">One of the best ways to optimize a small space would be to utilize </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">NESTING TABLES.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These versatile pieces can be scattered about the room when extra surface area are needed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(cocktail party anyone?) or you can store them nestled together to free up valuable space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out some killer options I've been spotting lately:</div>

The king daddy of all small space end tables would be a set of lucite nesting tables. </div>

The clear waterfall form would virtually disappear and take up no visual space. </div>
