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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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

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:

 Beautiful frames and images!

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!

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!

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.

 The chicken wire framing casts an awesome shadow.

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! 

On Safari: Marvelous Murals for Randi's Nursery!

The theme for Randi's boy nursery was truly centered around several beautiful murals by Lauren Heinle featuring jungle animals. The rest of the room simply followed suit!

For comparison, check out these before pictures: what a transformation!

The corner where a monkey hangs from a tree was the perfect spot for this Hiya crib with natural sides.

The custom glider and ottoman were placed just beneath the hungry giraffe for a sweet rocking area.

 Here's a great shot of the fun fabrics on our custom glider and pillow!

For the changing area, Lauren truly outdid herself! I love the watchful expression of the painted lion.

 We chose a subtle blue fabric with brown accents for the window treatments. They look great when rolled up, and when fully extended for nap times:)

Plenty of storage here with this simple and spacious bookcase.

The deep chocolate of this comfy shaggy rug is the perfect finishing touch in this calming, animal themed nursery!

We hope you enjoyed this wonderfully unique room. As always, we are here at the Bungalow for all your design needs!
