client living/dining.

Some friend's of our just moved back to Abilene and

purchased a fabulous old house!

It's on lots of land and has fabulous features like 2 large fireplaces,

hardwood floors, wooden beam ceilings, and lots of

quirky/awesome little tid-bits that you only get with an older home.

They have been living "small" for the past few years, because he

was finishing up his medical residency. So they needed a

game plan to get this place

full, furnished and feeling like home!

The large downstairs dining and living spaces was

 the first order of business...I sketched out a scaled layout and then

cut out different paper furniture pieces to scale so we could

get an idea for what the space needed and scoot everything

 around until it was just right. (sorry for the bad phone pic)

 then I presented her with this concept board for the living room...

 they've got two little kiddos and have to plan accordingly...

so I chose slipcovered furniture, a dark patterned wool rug,

and a high/low mix of accent furniture and accessories.

i also did a mantle concept board because it is the

 focal point of the room and will set the tone for the space...

and here is the dining room furnishings board...

 and a mantle concept for this room as well....

it's going to be gorgeous! Can't wait!

I hope you are all having a lovely Thursday!
