Progress in the office!

The office re-do in my house is finally starting to come together. The desk is finally finished waiting for a reveal, the floors got done, hardware for window treatments are up, fabric has been purchased for the window treatments, coffee table/ottoman is being slip covered as I type.



We are almost there!



The most exciting update in the office is that  my slipcover is finished and it makes me love the room even more.



Here is what the loveseat  looked like before:

It had amazing lines, unbelievable price and the fabric was actually in great condition it just wasn’t the look I was going for.



After Julie got her hands on it here is the fabulous new loveseat:

Here is a close up of the fabric: It’s a bit Josef Frank inspired with a tad of grandma chic and I’m in love.

Hope you enjoyed a little peek into the headquarters of Effortless Style Interiors!



Business side note: I was hoping to launch my business site by the end of August, but there have been some delays with the web designer.



Fingers crossed blog re-vamp should be taking place within the next two weeks! We are moving to Word Press! With the business site shortly following that.



While that is waiting to happening I have begun taking on clients this summer!  It’s been going great. I love what I do and it’s great to share it with all.



If one of my lovely readers finds themselves needing design help please feel free to email me for rates! Hiring an interior decorator doesn’t have to be a scary or expensive experience. I guarantee you that you will actually save time and money by hiring a professional the first time around and getting it done perfect.



Marianne summed it up pretty perfectly here.

Wow, that is one big furniture transformation. It almost doesn't even look like the same piece anymore. I love you added a little shirt to the bottom. It balances out the wings so well.

Love this transformation! I have a little loveseat that I bought from an elderly neighbor years ago for $50 and it's in sore need of a slipcover. But I have nowhere to put it in our house, so it's taking up space in my parents' basement. This before-and-after is inspiring me to try to find a place for it!

I love the new look, a perfect example of taking a risk with bold, fresh, updated floral. There is nothing more exciting than this time for you. I opened my design business 4 years ago and know the excitement you are feeling. Just follow your heart and stay true to your design beliefs and you will do a wonderful job. Congrats!
