The Power of One Item<\/strong><\/p>\n

For me, it always starts with one item. That single piece, whether artwork, fabric, or tile becomes the spark that ignites the entire design story of a home.<\/p>\n

How to Start a Remodel or Change Up D\u00e9cor<\/strong><\/p>\n

I always begin with one thing. That one thing could be a piece of fabric, a pillow, or artwork. It serves as the foundation for my design vision.<\/p>\n

Photos can be a great source of inspiration, but I sometimes find them overwhelming. Instead, I use them as a reference to communicate my ideas to contractors and vendors, ensuring my vision is understood in print form.<\/p>\n

Breaking Through “D\u00e9cor Block”<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are moments when I experience what I call “d\u00e9cor block”\u2014a creative standstill where I can\u2019t seem to find the right starting point. This happened when I wanted to refresh my living room with color but felt stuck.<\/p>\n

While browsing Ethan Allen, I came across a stunning piece of artwork. That was my moment of clarity. I used the colors in the artwork as the foundation for designing a living room, dining room, and a small office space.<\/p>\n

Later, another visit to Ethan Allen led me to a plaid fabric upholstered chair. It immediately clicked; I could reupholster two existing chairs with this fabric in a family room. That single decision transformed the entire space, seamlessly extending into the kitchen and nook.<\/p>\n

Remodeling a Condo<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a condo remodel, I faced a similar creative block. The showers, made of brown travertine, were staying, but everything else was being updated. I envisioned light oak cabinets, grainy flooring, white walls, and new lighting fixtures, but something felt incomplete.<\/p>\n

While browsing Floor & D\u00e9cor, I found a tile with white, brown, and grey veining. Suddenly, the design fell into place. This tile tied in perfectly with the travertine showers, breaking my d\u00e9cor block. The final choices included:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • White cabinets<\/li>\n
  • White walls<\/li>\n
  • Brass and black pulls and fixtures<\/li>\n
  • White granite with subtle grey veining<\/li>\n
  • A black sink<\/li>\n
  • A grey backsplash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”60″ bottom_padding=”60″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” id=”last1″ disable_element=”yes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_image_comparison image_url=”212″ image_2_url=”213″ el_class=”m1″][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
