Mina wanted her living room be transformed into a space that felt relaxing and sophisticated, so she could study, work, and entertain friends. Her wish is my command! The only item she wanted to ‘maybe’ keep was her desk. She mentioned that she LOVED the desk but was open to placing it somewhere else. OF COURSE, once I hear the word ‘love’ I knew I had to keep it in the room and design around it. Oh, what else does she love? …. leather (I added a cowhide rug to her design), wood (wait till you see all the wood items sprinkled throughout the design), and linen texture (I added beautiful sheer curtains).
She had her current sofa in front of the fireplace, but it closed up the space as soon as you walked into the room (esp since sofa is the largest piece of furniture in the room). And, since she wanted the room to feel spacious I found a new sofa for her and placed it against the wall adjacent to the fireplace, then added seating around it. Hello, conversation galore!, with a rocking chair across the sofa and extra (smaller) seating by the fireplace.

Below is a peek at the items I found for Mina within their budget of $4600. We saved money keeping her gorgeous vintage desk. I don’t have photos yet of how her design turned out, but if I get some I will be sure to share them with you.
