Before and After

I'm so glad!!

We did another transformation using a small budget.
I did used a lots of pieces that my clients had  at home.
Old frames, .mirror , switch furniture around, that is the key to not spend too much.
Let's see how looks before and after.
Living space looks good and welcoming.


When you first come in the house a wall from a family room was so empty and the other wall seems too tight , because the furniture is high this room did not have a enough lights, and the space was not feeling right. We decided to switch them to have more light and make balance in this room, now it is looking pretty and cozy.


                                                              Switch furniture around!

     The shelf was too cluttered and had too many portraits.We decided to organize the books and add some colorful items.

 We keep all the furniture, the rug and change some pillows and add yellow, turquoise blue as accent colors. Lamp shade from Home Goods, pillows from target and Pier one imports.


                                      Art wall, portraits, and vases from Home Goods!

This console table was in the dining room before we move it from there to make more space around the table. This console table was higher than the sofa we just cut a little be to make in same level.

On the Budget did again!!!

Banquet Table

I really love a banquet table style for a wedding!

Usually people use a round table for 8 or 10, but a long banquet table is so elegant and chic.
People stays close to each other.
If the reception room is narrow this style is very good solution.
You can use high or low center pieces  or mixing both,and candles is a very good choice too.
Is different and dramatic. I'm a big fan of that style.
Let's see some ideas.!

                                       People can stay close to each other is cozy.


Candles..a lot of candles....romantic and beautiful.


Modern way  mixed with vintage colors....lovely!!


Gorgeous....love it!!! white is little be cold all the the time but this is very inviting!!


Simple, but beautiful and classic.


     I told you guys in the beginning that i really love this long banquet table at my wedding i used!


                                                          My dream wedding!!


Modern and elegant..5 years ago!!
