also featuring all new furniture pieces, super soft Bella Notte fabrics and mini-gallery wall.

Beach Bungalow Brings Cabo San Lucas Home!

So many projects, so little time to post!

I'm so excited to share my latest completed project- a Cabo San Lucas inspired family room for Elka!

Elka has an amazing, spacious living space at the heart of her home, but it really needed a new color scheme to brighten it up a bit. The transformation was amazing!

Here's a shot of the finished product:

And here are a few shots of Elka's room before:

A sofa recovery was number one on the list. I had it recovered in a soft, sand hued fabric then
refurbished by adding arms and decorative nailheads.  Can't forget new custom pillows! I went with fun blue and white patterns (also Elka's signature favorites) for a crisp, cool look.

Custom upholstered ottomans were the next addition, as well as a large Restoration Hardware coffee table.

Before, Elka's living space seemed slightly unbalanced:

The size of the new table, combined with the extra seating of the ottomans, help to better balance the scale of the large room.

Love these ottomans!

More gorgeous details! I love the chic look of the silver coated lamp base and the extra sheen and cool shape of the lacquer end tables. 

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

Blue and white pottery was a must in this space and I absolutely love the pieces we chose together!

 Elka had an existing sofa table that wasn't quite the right fit, but by accessorizing with the perfect pieces, it became another awesome design feature in the room.

Here's a quick look at the sofa table pre-accesorizing:

...and after!

Another area where a major transformation was in order was above the fireplace, it just wasn't doing such a large space justice or reflecting Elka's refreshing personal style.

Lauren created an incredible custom piece that perfectly complements the room. Such gorgeous colors and not to mention one-of-a kind!

This lovely seating area has to be one of my favorite aspects of the design, I love the light coming through the glass doors and the tropical look of the comfy chairs and pillow patterns.

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

Another truly fun install, Elka is always a joy to work with:) We are also both thrilled with the fact that she now has her own Cabo San Lucas getaway- right in her very own living room!

Spacious and Chic: Michelle's Master Bedroom!

When Michelle first asked me to design her master bedroom, I knew I wanted to do a look that was both calm and sophisticated. Combining soft greys and creams with luxe accessories made for a space that is comfortable for Michelle and her husband, and has plenty of unique touches to perfectly describe their style!

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

The large size of this bedroom allowed us to install some really eye-catching features. Extra tall bead board paneling makes the ceilings appear even higher and helps draws the eye up to the fantastic wallpapered ceiling. 

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

With the paneling and wallpaper installed, this room really called for some awesome furniture choices! I custom designed several pieces for Michelle from Newport Cottages and we choose a soft white for the finish. I also added some delicate glass pulls to complete the look. Now, this couple has plenty of storage via their new bedside tables, dresser and highboy.

 Next up, choosing just the right fabrics. The carpeting in the room has a small diamond pattern that was fun to mix with other larger scale prints.

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

I love the antique look of this chair and ottoman, especially recovered in a fun, new fabric!

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

I carried the diamond pattern over into the custom bedding to help to tie the room together. I also added a fresh floral for the euros and duvet, and then a crisp stripe for the bolster.

Now for the accessories! A special touch by the bed are these glass ball lamp bases, they're subtle but also provide a little glam.

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

 A tufted bench was a must for the end of the bed. Benches are always great because they provide a comfy spot to put on your shoes in the morning, or a place to set extra pillows. I love the dark beige upholstery and how it helps to anchors the piece in the room.

This table is so unique and fits so effortlessly into the space. It is one of my favorite features in the room. I love adding something a little unexpected and this metal side table is just right!

A few more glamorous accents were in order for the dresser area, as well as a full length mirror for the room. Loving the style of this decorative sunburst mirror!

One last wide angle shot of this chic and comfortable master bedroom!

It's awesome to see all of the different elements of this room come together to create a space that is just what Michelle and her husband were looking for! Is there a place in your home that you'd really like to make your own? Come on over to the Bungalow and we'll get started on yours today:)

Before...and Happily Ever After: Four Finished Spaces Complete!

It's been one installation after another at the Bungalow and I'm so excited to be posting the finished spaces I've been working on for Elisabeth!

The master bath is now complete!

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

I always love posting some great before & after shots, check out the master bath before:

 It was a little dark and had none of Elisabeth's glamour- so we decided to go with a gorgeous statement wallpaper, lighter finishes and custom moldings and mirrors.

(Beach Bungalow Designs with Method Construction)

(Beach Bungalow Designs Custom Draperies)

I absolutely love the gathered balloon shades I did for the curved windows, they completely change the feel of the space!

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

Switching up the chandeliers and sconces was a must- I choose these beauties for their ability to blend well with the rest of the house and for their extra sparkle!

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

Some sweet frames and stately artwork help finish off the master bath.

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

So much lighter and brighter! A few extras like changing the hardware, fixtures and painting the ceiling helped make this master feel even more luxurious. 

Next up, re-designing the hallway to the playroom and incorporating an awesome gallery wall by Rebecca Jelsing:

(Rebecca Jelsing Photography)

 Beautiful frames and images!

(Beach Bungalow Designs with Rebecca Jelsing Photography)

Finding just the right runner was a challenge, but I think the subtle colors and print perfectly complement Rebecca's gallery...which leads us right on into the playroom!

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

Before Elisabeth called me, this area was an unused space just off the main entry, and was a little dark for a family room.

Now it's a cozy spot for the whole family to enjoy!

Removing the shutters and installing custom draperies was essential-and I love the prints we chose!

(Beach Bungalow Designs Custom Pillows & Draperies)

Custom pillows help make this leather sofa a little more comfortable, and a play table with oversized chalkboard is a great spot for drawing and projects!

So many great details in this room, the rustic, spherical chandelier is a favorite, and so is this custom growth chart from Etsy.

(Shades of Light Chandelier)

 The chicken wire framing casts an awesome shadow.

(Beach Bungalow Designs)

I chose a pale green seagrass wallpaper for the walls, a lighter white for the ceiling and a soft, off-white rug to anchor the space. The room feels much brighter and warmer, perfect for Elisabeth and her family!

Last space I have to show you is a nook just off the kitchen and formal dining area:

I loved putting this design moment together- so many great details!

This mirror was such a find- it's a stand out and really brings the whole room together.

 And here's the look all put together!

There you have it- four spaces down, and many more to go! Could one of them be in your home? I'd love to help you get started, call the Bungalow and find out!
