Tweaking a client's space

I have this awesome new client whose style is what I would call sophisticated cottage. She called me in to help her tweak her space and "finish" the room.
 
Easy job for me... she has great taste.
 
So I'm going to show you where we started and where we are now.
 
Warning: not a dramatic transformation since where we started was pretty fab.
 
Here's where we started
 
 
Here's a peek at where we are now
 
 
Host chairs - Restoration Hardware
Light- Horchow
Monogram - Tibbar Tibbar Wayne, PA
Topiary - trade item
 
 
We replaced the heavy, wrought iron light fixture with a pretty chandelier from Horchow. We removed the piano and bird print from the back wall and are commissioning a new piece of art for that space. We replaced the white queen ann chairs with square cane back chairs for a more formal feel and added host chairs with monogrammed slip covers.
 
Here's where we started with the china cabinet
 
 
Where we are now
 
 
 
 
Square back cane chairs - Restoration Hardware
Clients own pottery and coral from Pottery Barn
 
 
This was a simple fix. All we did was streamline her collection of plates and pitchers and made the vignette symmetrical and added the pretty, modern geometric Thibaut wallpaper to the back of the cabinet. All we need to do now is change out the hardware for a more sleek look.
 
Here's where we started on the other side of the room
 

 
Here's where we are now
 
Table lamps - Lighting by Design
Mirror and box - Home Goods
 
We removed the white chest and mirrored frames and replaced them with a more modern chest and an on-trend round mirror. This really added a lot of warmth and texture to the room:)
 
We still have some more updates to make so stay tuned and
thanks for reading!!! xoxo
