Upscale Cabin Underway

January 4, 2013 by SummerHouse · Leave a Comment

Lisa is currently working on a very exciting project that we all can’t wait to see come to completion! This upscale cabin, a second home for a very dear client, is going to be gorgeous!! It is currently under construction!

Here’s a peek at some materials being used in the Master Bedroom of “The Cabin…”

And here are some samples of things to be used in the powder room and dining area!

The kitchen will have a fabulous rich, dark countertop…

And could these selections for a bedroom at a rustic lodge be any more perfect!?

We are all so excited about this project we can barely stand it! We’ll be sure to keep you posted on the progress!

A Brand New BEFORE & AFTER

October 15, 2012 by SummerHouse · Leave a Comment

{{ let’s update, shall we? }}

We’ve got a very inspiring BEFORE & AFTER to show today! It is amazing what a great design mind (which would be Lisa’s mind, to be precise!) and a few new things can do for a space!

All of these rooms are in the same house, and all of them turned out just beautifully! This particular client wanted to update her home, keeping some of her favorite pieces while adding some new ones. Take a look at these before and afters!

BEDROOM

Bedroom BEFORE

Bedroom AFTER

The rich new wall color, the lighter/brighter bed, bedding, and drapery, and the punchy pillow make SUCH a difference in this bedroom!

FOYER

Foyer BEFORE

Foyer AFTER

New wallpaper, a custom light fixture, a new buffet, and some updated accessories take this entry from drab to exciting and welcoming!

LIVING ROOM

Living Area BEFORE

Living Area AFTER

What a dramatic change! The updates Lisa did to this space opened up the room while simultaneously making it feel much warmer. Cleaner lines, simplification of pattern, and just an overall cleaned up new scheme make all the difference in this beautiful living area!

SUNROOM

Sunroom BEFORE

Sunroom AFTER

The client’s daughter actually painted the beautiful piece of art over the love seat, which was the starting point for the sunroom. The wall, the floor, and the furniture were all changed to bring this space into modern times! We love the deep turquoise chair and pillows that ground the space. Just gorgeous!

Which room’s changes are your favorite?

Lisa’s Office: Before and After!

February 10, 2012 by SummerHouse · 3 Comments

We had a pretty exciting transformation at SummerHouse recently! The “before and after” took place in the office of our leader and head designer Lisa Palmer! As you can see in the “before” picture, her office is brimming with creative ideas, magazine clippings, and bits of many different projects. Loaded with cool stuff, yes. But organized? Not quite…

After some new wallpaper, some hard work, and a little organizing and rearranging, Lisa has herself a brand new office! It almost doesn’t even look like the same space! Take a look…

Looks great, doesn’t it?!

So, remember the cute puppy from the last post? His name is Ringo and he’s the newest addition to one of our own’s families! He came up for a visit and was there just in time to hop into a picture with Lisa during the informal photo shoot we had going on! Here are Ringo and Lisa just having a good ole time!

What’s your favorite part about Lisa’s new office?

Living in the Dark

July 28, 2011 by SummerHouse · 2 Comments

Do you have a room in your house that needs something a little extra? May we suggest black walls… (But don’t put up any black paint before you consult a designer! Please!) A room with black walls is dramatic and full of personality, and is also a great new take on the neutral wall. Here are a few ideas of how to do black right. It’s really not as bleek as you’d think!

Thanks to LonnyMag and Rue for the great photos and ideas.

Do you have any black (or almost black) walls in your house? What color were they before? We want details!!

Happy Friday! To make the best day of the week even better, here is a little lavendar eye candy for you… Lisa and Elish are working on a nursery for one of our favorite customers! Isn’t all of this stuff just DELICIOUS? The mix of purples, with a little dash of bling make this little girl’s future room one that ANY girl would love! We can’t wait to show you pictures when this room is complete!

Yep. Gorgeous!
