Virtual Interior Design Services

When a client contacts me for my virtual interior design services I am able to work with them conveniently online through email. We work together on a specific room or space in their home and the outcome is similar to the example below. The client completes a design questionnaire from my website and in return I design digital custom vision boards for their new space based off of their answers, room sizes and their favorite inspiration photos. I will also put together a Pinterest board or purchase list full of all the new selections made and if requested a floorplan. Today I’m sharing another example of a clients e-design concept for her dining room and entryway. She wanted a Rustic-Coastal design with lots of accessories. Her walls were already painted revere pewter gray by Benjamin Moore and already had a rustic dining table which we painted in white.

Moody Interior Design

With Halloween around the corner it’s an appropriate time to get inspired with moody interior design. These chic spaces have a certain elegance about them and are so sophisticated. Are you brave enough to try a heavy dose of black in your home? Get inspired and try something new.

This entryway is simple yet striking with dark floors and black doors.

Chic and elegant living room.

A dark kitchen is so glamorous.

Moody Dining Room

Such a nice balance between masculine and feminine.

I love this outdoor space in the middle of the city.

Have a stellar weekend!

Oscar de la Renta

Legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta has passed at 82. He was best known for dressing some of the worlds most famous women including Jacqueline Kennedy, Laura Bush, Oprah Winfrey and recently designed Amal Alamuddin wedding dress. Before I was in the interior design industry I was working in the fashion industry for many years. I had the honor of meeting this lovely man years ago in Dallas when I worked for the company, he was such a gentleman and so kind to me. It seems like yesterday I was attending one of his fashion shows and merchandising from store to store. It saddens me but we all know that his legacy will live on and continue to shine. One my favorite quotes from him was, “The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness.” Oscar had recently launched and added a home collection which includes table settings, entertaining essentials, gifts and rugs. Here is a look at some of his amazing fashion designs.
