So it's Monday again ... the weekend is gone and it's back to work - though my weekend was spent working. I don't mind though ... January has turned into a busier month than I had expected.
Hope you all have a nice week - I'm trying to get 'our' project space plan completed to show you!
Happy decorating and happy week!

Behind the Scenes - Floor Plan
Our family room project is now well underway and we have an approved room plan! The original space contained a sofa bed and chair as seating and a coffee table and TV with stand. It was sparse and cold. The new plan allows for much more seating to create a nice conversational space while feeling much cosier.
So armed with this plan we can now begin to source! Here's our list of items needed;
Sofa bed - 77" wide, 34" deep
Love seat - 54" wide, 34" deep
Tub chairs (2) - 28' wide, 28" deep
Round coffee table - 38 x 38"
Side Table - 24" wide x 24" deep
Carpet
Two floor lamps
One or two table lamps
Throws
Pillows
Accessories
Now that we're equipped with a plan and list, we can start sourcing! I'll begin pulling fabrics to develop a scheme and begin sourcing furniture - starting with the largest piece - the sofa bed and love seat. Everything else will springboard from there.
Happy Decorating!

Behind the Scenes - Come along!
I wrote earlier about taking you along on a project with me - Behind the Scenes, so here we go!
Project - Family room, Toronto
Objective - Cozy up the space, utilize warmer colours and fabrics. Comfortable furniture.
I won't start by showing you any before photos - we'll leave that until the end. I visited my clients for the first time before the holidays and we discussed the issues with the current space and what they were hoping to achieve with the redecorating.
The current space is done is shades of blue - a bright sky blue - very cool. The clients now want something warmer to spend their evenings in after a long day at work. They'll need new furniture - sofa bed (needs to double as a guest bed), a love seat and perhaps additional seating if we can fit it into the floor plan. We'll also need to look at carpeting, tables, lighting and accessories. A full revamp!
The first thing that needs to be done is to design the floor plan - without this, nothing can be done. A floor plan is exactly that - a plan to help fit and organize things as well as provide a shopping guide.
Off I go to nail the floor plan!
Happy decorating!
