Before and After<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think this is the first time I'm sharing these pictures with you. This room was completed awhile back. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I don't have any "before" pictures of this space but I do have progress shots I'll share below. This family room is in an old, stately stone Tudor house located in a gorgeous main line neighborhood.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Our mission for the room was to make it fun, colorful and comfortable for a family of six. They're huge sports fans (hockey is their fave) and there is a ginormous TV to host family and friends and watch all kinds of sporting events.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The original trim throughout the home was stained oak. You can see the original trim below to the left. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I suggested we paint all the trim, fireplace, windows and interior doors of this room a high gloss black to keep it sophisticated and the walls white for a beautiful neutral back drop. </span><br />
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are the french doors painted high gloss. This was back in 2014 now its most definitely on trend as I told my client we were way ahead of our time:) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are two gorgeous large windows in this room that were also painted a rich black.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was a STUNNING transformation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Loved it. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It also helped make the TV disappear in between the two large freshly painted windows. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The color scheme we chose was black, blue and white and pops of orange and pink. My client wanted FUN, not stuffy for her kids so that was what we went for!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a TON of seating in this space which I love. You can have a large group in here and there are so many places to sit you would never have to run to another room to grab a chair (those with large family parties know exactly what I'm talking about).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We chose a sectional and two chairs by CR Laine , a pair of x- benches, two ottomans and two chippendale chairs flanking a console table. All pieces had to have durable fabrics. The sectional is covered in a gray sunbrella and the other pieces in very durable fabrics as well. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">So I hope you enjoy these little before and after updates! Here's a quick refresh of a teenage boy's room.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a client who I adore working with and when she asked me to refresh her son's room I was pretty excited. I'm rarely asked to do a guy's room...I think boys are typically too sloppy or just don't care even the slightest about their surroundings. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can relate I have a few of those living in my house:)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway -- here is the before of this teen's</span><span style="font-size: large;"> room. Classic boy.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So... what did we do? We repainted the whole room london fog by Benjamin Moore and added a wall of Thibaut wallpaper to add a little texture/industrial feel to the space. I actually wanted to purchase the faux wood stick on pieces from West Elm but they don't sell them any longer. I know where to source them but frankly I was going to get the same look with this wallpaper -- and it was much easier to apply:) ha!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We took down the loft bed and created a custom navy headboard with a gray linen welt (that fit perfectly) to coordinate with this fabulous West Elm bedding and custom pillows. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We also placed the bed close to the wall so we could leave some open space in the middle of the room for his friends to hang out on the floor and play xbox.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We removed the posters and sporadic artwork and added a few new fresh art pieces to give it a bit of a coastal feel. We added under the bed storage for his collections, a new desk with hutch and black floating shelves ----which for some reason I did not take pictures of:(</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We combined both gray walls and wallpaper with the current beige carpet (which will be changed out at a later date) and beige/white washed modern furniture. The overall feel of the room is kind of beachy/"west-elmy" I purchased a lot of items excluding the furniture from them... we have to get our inspiration from somewhere, right?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We didn't spend a whole lot of money yet created a fresh new look for this young teen!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was a pretty simple layout change. We removed the peninsula and added a free standing island in the center of the room. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We knocked down the wall across from the sink and relocated the refrigerator to the cabinet wall across from the oven.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Instead of removing the window on the left side of the kitchen we decided to keep it so we could have the natural light and added a window seat with storage below. I just love window seats in a kitchen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The counter tops were replaced with carrara marble and white shaker style cabinets and subway tile were selected for a timeless look. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">So I worked on this house many, many moons ago but just went back to photograph the home and work on a few more updates. I've posted about this space before but it was so long ago I'm not sure where to even find it on this blog:)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To make a long story short we re-configured a living room, dining room and kitchen... knocking walls down and making the first floor feel more open and spacious for a family of four kids.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the before of the living room</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I know its not a good shot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It has some over-sized furniture and yellow walls but fabulous windows letting in lots of natural light...so my thought was to really draw the eye to the beautiful floor to ceiling windows (they are actually sliders but they have so many doors in the back of the house they don't ever use these). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Good thing for us. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We were going for a casual, relaxed California vibe but with a bit of color and east coast symmetry:)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"> To be honest I'm SHOCKED everything looks this fabulous ... it's been over three years. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If this were my house??? Forget about it. My dog and my five year old --- Total wrecking machines. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For the photographs we moved some things around and her oomph coffee table is actually on order. I used mine for the pictures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The beautiful Serena and Lily chairs were placed in front of the windows to allow as much natural light in as possible and because of the high contrast of the navy stripe on the white chairs your eye just goes to it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Happy holidays! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you missed my previous beach house posts you can go <a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/12/before-and-after-beach-house-part-3.html">here</a>, <a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/before-and-after-beach-house-part-2.html">here</a>, and <a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/beach-house-before-and-after-part-1.html">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To jog your memory this house was decorated on a VERY TIGHT budget so my goal with the bedrooms was to include one item with impact in each space that would make it special and specific to each family member.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First up is the master bedroom. My clients wanted something un-cluttered, simple, modern and fresh.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the Master Bedroom before</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So how did we approach this space? First we repainted all of the dark paneling decorators white and added new cypress hardwood floors. We also removed the stone fireplace. This was not in the original plan due to budget constraints but we discovered it was unstable and unable to hold the TV so we removed the stone and added new dry wall. For a little pop we painted the interior of the fireplace box a bright blue. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We kept my client's coffee table and just styled it. We also added new slip-covered sofas and linen swivel chairs from Lee industries. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">To add just the right amount of color and pattern, we added custom made Quadrille pillows with a bright blue contrast welt. The pillows you see on the swivel chairs I bought retail and added the perfect color trim to the plain white pillows. And we hung a large colorful abstract in between the sliders. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The cool light fixture above the table is from Anthropologie and the dining table was custom made by the owner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">So one more mini-makeover before I share the rest of the beach house before and afters. If you missed the previous beach house posts you can go <a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/beach-house-before-and-after-part-1.html">here</a> and<a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/before-and-after-beach-house-part-2.html"> here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But first, here's a quick teen bedroom makeover for a client's daughter. It was her Halloween/Birthday surprise. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have worked fast before but this one REALLY takes the cake. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We only had <b>two </b>weeks to complete this. Yikes! I had to buy everything on the spot practically right there on sight after I took measurements. We could only purchase items that would arrive in one week. Challenging yet so fun!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the before</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My client's daughter wanted a more sophisticated color palate and uncluttered space so we painted the walls classic gray and all the trim super white by benjamin moore. The room was given a clean, fresh start. She also loves black and white and loves sailing in the summer. So we incorporated that into her room as well. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought we'd take a break from the beach house update and give you a sneak peek into another renovation I worked on this past year. This was an old house built in the early 1900's that was rehabbed beautifully by a local builder. The house was taken down to the studs and completely gutted.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You can read more about this home <a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2014/11/happy-thanksgiving-newsworthy-client.html">here</a> and <a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2014/10/raindrops-on-roses.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The client and I worked together on the finishes, lighting, flooring, paint colors and interior furnishings. The entire house is not "decorated" yet. They have two small children so they're taking their time and decorating in stages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But I thought it would be fun to share where we are so far.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't have any real "before" pictures but I do have where we started the design process... an empty room which is both a living room/entry for the home. This client loves lots of pattern and color. So this project was right up my alley!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see this room will be an entry point and needs to have appropriate flow from the entry door to the stairs and to the rest of the home. It also needed to be bright, open and spacious.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We chose to use four swivel chairs instead of a sofa and two chairs so the room would not appear blocked off or have any weird dead spaces in the back. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For additional seating we added two cubes under the console in the back of the room. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">With this configuration the room looks beautiful no matter how you enter.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Here's Part 2 of the beach house tour. If you missed Part 1 you can go <a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/11/beach-house-before-and-after-part-1.html">here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Now here's where we get really creative and I mean <b>REALLY REALLY </b>creative. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">As I mentioned in my previous post, the owners were on a very tight budget because they weren't sure if they would be here for just a season or maybe two. So naturally no major work was performed just a cosmetic update.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I'll share the before and after pictures first, then I'll explain the creativity behind the scenes. It was both a challenge and fun working within the these budget parameters.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> So stick around you'll want to hear what we did:)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Let's talk about the family room first.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The dark paneling was kept and painted white. How did we stay on budget with this project? None of this furniture is new. Nothing. This furniture was the previous owners and it was cleaned, painted and recovered. It totally has that beachy, palm beach feel doesn't it?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Why keep the furniture? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1) The owner really thought this was going to be a temporary fix and this room is so awkward if we purchased new upholstery for this room we couldn't be sure if it would fit or would work in a new space. 2) We had a vision that if we re-purposed the furniture it would give it a cool vibe and make the space interesting, unique and so fun! 3) Budget. That's the real reason:)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So the table. A table, magazine rack and lamp all in one.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Gotta love the practicality and the throw back, right?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;">We painted it bold blue by benjamin moore so it would pop off the white walls. I purchased a new shade and trimmed it in blue.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The rattan sofas</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The frames were painted bold blue too and reconfigured to help with the flow of the room. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Here is what they looked like before.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The sofa cushions were re-covered in an indoor/outdoor fabric from Trina Turk for Schumacher. Since it wasn't a complete re-upholstery job it was inexpensive to re-purpose these pieces. And I designed the throw pillows to break up the mod pattern on the sofas.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The table. It weighs a ton and it has that beachy, palm-beach vibe. Why mess with it?</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">All we did was re-glaze all of that beige tile. If you need an inexpensive way to update a bathroom with crazy colored tile re-glazing is the way to go. A new basic shower enclosure was also added. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I know it's fall and winter is upon us but I thought I would share a project I worked on this summer. It was a beach house built in the early 70's and I don't think much changed in this house until my clients and current owners purchased the home last year. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So, a little background on this house-- the owners hired me for a temporary fix. Yep. Temporary.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just to get it up and running and functional for a season or two because they weren't sure if they were going to sell it or tear it down and build new. So as you can imagine it was a <b>VERY </b></span><b style="font-size: x-large;">tight budget </b><span style="font-size: large;">knowing it may not be there next year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And NO new kitchen, NO new bathrooms, NO new window treatments or major renovations of any kind were done and happy to say it turned out so pretty they may keep it longer than expected.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">AND I think it's a great example of how you don't have to tear these old houses down just spruce them up a bit and they can be so charming! One more interesting fact is the owner grew up coming here as a boy. He knew the family and knew that the house was filled with love and special memories and he wanted to re-create that same feeling for his family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Without further ado, I'll share the before pictures of the entry as my clients found it</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The wall-to-wall carpet was removed. New cypress flooring was bleached to keep it from yellowing and then installed. The dark wood paneling was kept just painted decorators white and all of the trim was painted super white by Benjamin Moore. The red console is from Host Interiors Ardmore, PA and is by <a href="http://www.mgbwhome.com/MING-RED-LACQUER-CHESTBRavailable-online-and-in-stores-P9089.aspx">Mitchell Gold and Bob Williams</a>. I love this console for tight spaces and trust me it's a great red.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The owners weren't sure what to do with the iron railing but I wanted to keep it as is. I love the lines of this railing. They just don't make'em like this anymore. Look how fresh and clean the space looks now.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This was sort of an awkward space because to the left of this bench is the entrance to a bedroom. But we added a bench and a few custom pillows. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In every project I try to use fabrics and pieces that I've never seen/used before and that have personal meaning to my clients. I usually get tired of seeing the same fabrics and furniture pieces used over again and I don't want my clients house to feel like a furniture showroom, RH or PB or whatever their favorite furniture/accessory store may be. It has less meaning and it would feel like they've seen this before... right? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In addition, I always try to include something custom and original in every room to make it special and specific to each homeowner. So</span><span style="font-size: large;"> as an ode to the owner who is an avid fisherman and boater we added the red Manuel Canovas calypso pillow in red and the navy and white "flagish" looking pillow on the bench. Just enough (I hope) without being too "theme-y"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also added a large mirror to open the hallway and reflect light from the new door the client added. You can also see the modern flush mount lighting we added in the reflection of this mirror. The new design of this space turned this dark entry into a light-filled fabulous space. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The goal was to turn this 70's house into a clean, modern fresh space with clean lines yet keeping it a bit traditional in line with the client's taste. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Stay tuned each week as I share the before and after's of this fun, yet budget-minded beach abode!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hello again! I know it's been awhile. I've been designing and installing the first floor of a n old farmhouse in Bluebell over the past year or so. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Since the designing and installing of an entire first floor can take a while I'm usually asked to spruce up the children's spaces at the same time. Typically it's their daughter's room so that's what I'm going to share with you today from this home... so fun!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">How did we start the project? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">With a jumping off wallpaper. This stylish young girl fell in love with this wallpaper from Osborne and Little. And I always love a bold wallpaper so it was a go!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now we have a color scheme.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> We kept all of the furniture and bedding (just cleaned it up a bit) And remarkably the background of the wallpaper matched the color of the walls perfectly so no need to paint (that never happens). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would have liked to have placed the wallpaper on the ceiling instead of an accent wall but as you can see the room has the original beams and we loved the rustic touch it adds to the space.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now we just did a little sprucing up to her space since we are using most of the budget to renovate and decorate the first floor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I always like to include at least one custom piece in a room and in this case it was these beautiful cornices designed by me and beautifully executed by my work room.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've also found teens just love the iconic ghost chair and no matter how hard i try to persuade them to go in a different direction they always stand firm in their conviction so I customize the chairs for them.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So now we have two originally totally custom pieces designed specifically for this young girl.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is how the rest of the space is coming along...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bedding by PB teen and pom-pom throw from West Elm.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We kept the window treatments and most of my client's beautiful furniture so we jazzed up the space with green grass cloth from Phillip Jeffries, new host chairs with pillow fabric from Aerin Lauder's line for Lee Jofa and colorful modern art. The grasscloth has now become the star of the show!!</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So you have a daughter or son heading off to college or their first apartment this fall.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Remember those days? Just spent last weekend with a college roommate and loved reminiscing about the good ole days. It's probably what inspired this post:)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> But back to the subject at hand...I have many clients and friends who fall into this category and I've been asked by several for advice on decorating and bedding for college dorms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last year I designed a college room and loved how it turned out. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">May have hit the books a bit more if my space looked this.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well I've committed the cardinal sin of blogging... taking a long unexcused break for no reason whatsoever. So, if your reading this thanks for hanging in there with me:).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been up to my eyeballs in projects--- so I thought I'd share what I've been up to and divulge a few secrets along the way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">First let's talk about paint panic... can you relate?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm working on a new TOTAL renovation in Bryn Mawr and whenever I work on a total reno that doesn't have a full design plan in place ahead of time I always get that panic, frantic call. "My builder/contractor needs paint colors for the entire house by tomorrow and there are like over 25 rooms in this house!!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span id="goog_998235879"></span><span id="goog_998235880"></span>Sneak peek: New ceiling treatment and millwork are happening</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now I always try to avoid this by planning ahead but it's not always possible. Either because I'm brought into the process late or the client understandably doesn't want to make a million decisions all at once like flooring, tile, cabinetry, wallpaper, fixtures, carpet, furniture, etc. you get my drift. Way too overwhelming and I get that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So after I talk them off the ledge we go room by room and select colors from what we know is going in the room. That could be back splash, counter, bedding, furniture or whatever we have on hand. If we know nothing and trust me this happens... we go neutral. Paint is the cheapest thing to change so let's not panic... am I right?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You can read more about how to select paint<a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2014/10/raindrops-on-roses.html"> here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Another fun total renovation I'm working on is happening at the beach.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And since we are on the subject of paint. PAINT can cure all ugly!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is where we started with the reno. It's not finished but I want to demonstrate the power of paint!</span><br />

New little side table is on its way...<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> This home is a temporary space so we're keeping the budget in check until they find a permanent space. So we kept a lot of their own furniture like this coffee table and wine rack but....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll share a little secret with you. If you are looking for a great beach house slip-covered white sofa try the <a href="http://www.crateandbarrel.com/autourl/s258002?b=1?affiliate=1552&adpos=1o1&creative=44761147496&device=c&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CPHgpreO4sYCFcQUHwodCyUCEA">Willow sofa</a> by Crate and Barrel. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sleek with modern arms, comfortable and reasonably priced but best of all comes in one week! VERY important if you'd like to enjoy your beach house for the season. Custom sofas which I normally spec out can take 8 to 12 weeks. And this sofa? .... won't fade in direct sunlight. A HUGE issue with beach house installations.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Another hint? I LOVE using swivel chairs especially in vacation homes where you have several focal points in a space. In this room you can swivel to see the water and sunset... swivel to talk to your friends and family watching TV to see the weather for the week and swivel to tell your mom, dad, or host in the kitchen what you'd like for dinner or what cocktail you'd like to enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">These Lee Industries chairs are comfortable and small in scale great for a living space that was built with a room designed in the 70's.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can check out the specs<a href="http://www.leeindustries.com/style_detail/lee/id/1931-01SW/in/1931_01SW_0910"> here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's another space where I used these chairs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is where we started</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It's a very awkard small entry hall/living room space with a fireplace in the back corner of the room. Most definitely need to swivel to enjoy the roaring fire in winter!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is where we are now...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Lee chairs are covered in a much more aggressive Quadrille fabric! We are waiting on a pretty gray indoor/outdoor rug and other design elements for this space.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I made it! Whew. Thanks to Linda at <a href="http://www.callingithome.com/">Calling it Home</a> for lighting the fire I needed to put this room to bed (so to speak).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The mission for the room? <strong><em>To make it fun, colorful and a happy place for an 11 year old girl to wake up in!</em></strong></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Fyi - this post will feature mostly the images from my daughter's new space. All links to products and fabrics are at the end of the post.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">One thing I've learned because I've done a lot of teen/young adult rooms (after doing their parent's spaces) is that when you do it 100% of the way down to the last little detail and take in their input (my daughter chose the wallpaper and it snowballed from there...)</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">they really tend to keep the space clean and neat. I have walked into spaces I've done 2 years later and the parents will tell me this. Once it's neat and clean and pretty they want it to stay that way!! BONUS!!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Welcome back!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Just to recap I'm working on sprucing up my daughter's room. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">You can check out my design plan <a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2015/04/one-room-challenge-week-one.html">here</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not only am I upping the style ante but I'm improving the function of my daughter's space. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">She's in middle school now and gone are the days of toys, dollhouses and arts and crafts. She's </span><span style="font-size: large;">spending more time studying in her room and hanging out with her friends. This room should carry her through until she leaves for college someday (OMG did I just say that out loud?).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She also plays a lot of sports and is a bit of a fashionista. One of the struggles we've had is keeping her organized. Keeping track of school uniforms, sports pinnies, lax socks, basketball sneakers, shin guards, etc. you get my drift. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So we've had her closet done professionally to improve function.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So here's her new closet...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Exciting, right? Not so much I know but it will improve the function of her room:)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Tips for closet organization especially for your young child/pre-teen/teen, etc.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1) Include drawers --- you can NEVER have enough drawer space. Forget a closet full of open shelving your kids will NEVER ever keep their clothes stacked and folded neatly. never. ever. And if you think they will hang their clothes up? HA! laughable ... at least in my case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2) Forgo the in-closet hamper your kids will never open the closet door and pull open the hamper and drop in their dirty clothes. Never -- too many steps. How do I know? Because I've made that mistake before. My kids do best with a laundry basket with an open top even then .... questionable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3) Include shelves for shoes. They can keep out of season shoes/boots in that spot.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4)Make sure most of the hanging space is a "double hang". You won't need much space for long items.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Speaking of closets here's one of my favorite scenes from Sex in the City</span><br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">If it's your first time here welcome! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for popping over to see what I'm up to during this six week challenge. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm so very thankful to Linda at <a href="http://www.callingithome.com/">Calling It Home</a> for asking me to be an official participant in the One Room Challenge this Spring.</span><br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I'll be honest the ORC has been the best incentive for me to complete a room in my own home. I tend to procrastinate when it comes to making decisions for my own house. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In my last ORC I refreshed our dining room. You can check out the details <a href="http://stephaniekraussdesigns.blogspot.com/2014/11/one-room-challenge-dining-room-reveal.html">here</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Don't get me wrong I love the bedroom and I was crazy about this pink and white Ralph Lauren toile. But I installed the curtains and duvet over 10 years ago when my daughter was a baby and she's 11 now and begging for a change.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So for her 11th birthday I'm gonna make it happen. She wants the toile out. She wants lavender and blue in and the room to function a lot better since her room is on the small side.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I totally got this. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Plan:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Whenever approaching a room to decorate you need to start with a full plan and<strong> budget</strong> before you begin. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like they say "If you fail to plan then plan to fail".</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To improve function of the space:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A new desk for studying</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Closet organizer </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Task Lighting</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">To improve style:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">New modern headboard</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">New bedding</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">New draperies</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">New accessories</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what I'm including in my design plan</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It's been quite awhile since my last blog post. I'm super busy with design projects and this poor little blog has been neglected as of late. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">But as many of you can relate too I'm knee deep in kids activities, birthday parties, sports and teen dances. And honestly, I don't want to miss a thing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In the immortal words of Ferris Beuller....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I started this blog almost two years ago to share ideas for all of you do-it-yourselfers out there who share my passion for decorating and design. The goal of this blog has always been to share images of design work by others and myself to help inspire what you do in your own home. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In addition, I like to realistically portray the design process. You must start with an overall plan and budget for your space. Design not only takes money, it takes time to carefully plan and execute a beautiful space. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It doesn't happen overnight and your design plan can evolve into something different than originally planned over a period of time. So you're not alone in taking your time with design decisions!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope I'm still accomplishing this goal .... and thanks for continuing to read:)</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Okay so if you follow me on instagram you may have seen these images. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dining rooms are typically filled with lots of hard surfaces like tables, chairs, buffets, china cabinets, consoles, etc. There are less places to add color and pattern then say a living room where there's lots of upholstered pieces. So a great way to add color and texture to your current dining situation is on the wall! Below are two examples of rooms where I'm using colorful textured wallpaper and I love. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've used neutral grasscloth in many spaces and I love it too but there's something about adding color and texture to a dining room that really brings the space alive.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Before</span></div>

A client after...<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I recently finished up a dorm apartment for a Temple University student. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">It was such an amazing project! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> It also tested my skills on how to provide a fun space on a VERY tight budget:)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I kept thinking throughout this process if my room looked like this in college would I have studied more?? Probably no.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
Quality of pics are so poor.... sorry:( </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">When designing this dorm/apartment everything had to be purchased and installed within a few weeks. Furniture, rugs, dishes, artwork so everything had to be quick ship or purchased off the floor. Quite a challenge but it turned out perfect for this young student!</span><br />
