where were at: {Seal Beach House Exteriors}

 

This is where we started almost a year and a half ago on this project.. It was a little worse for ware and the inside was even more interesting.  I went by the project this week and it has completely transformed.  My inspiration for the exterior was a winery we visited several years ago in Canada, travel is an amazing gift of inspiration for designers, I always remind my accountant of that.  We removed the strange brick wall across the front entrance of the house and opened it up with windows and french doors.  We also replaced the windows on the face of the garage with faux doors and gave the entire exterior some wide plank siding.  I am so happy with the transformation.  There is still so much to do with the landscaping and finishing touches but it is coming along really well.

I will share the interiors on this project soon- I cannot wait to show you how far that has come!

 

Please excuse the weird light from my phone...

Finishing up..

Above is a grouping of fabrics and finishes that represent the way I typically start a project.  From here I will pull photos and ideas to see which direction to take it.  Once I have that done (sometimes it is the hardest part to find an image that conveys what I want the space to say) I work on the furniture layout and then onto the furnishings themselves.  The final step in my designing process is to put the fabrics and finishes on the proper pieces.  It takes a while to get from design to the finished product, but it is really nice to get there! 

 

 

This project actually has a few more rooms but I did not like the way my photos looked so I had a limited selection!  If anyone knows of a good commercial photographer in Northern California I would love a good recommendation.

On a totally separate note my friend Molly Wood is having a One Kings Lane sale starting this morning!  Stop by and check out her goodies!
