Sending a child off to college is such a exciting experience. For me, one of the most enjoyable parts of this journey has been designing my son's dorm room. To help create a stylish and functional space for my son we've partnered with Home Depot and would love to share with you all a guide full of tips, ideas, and must-have essentials to help make this experience special.

We are ere excited to partner with Apt 2B to decorate our new design studio ! This commercial build out was a total gut renovation. Our goal was to create a functional, organized and beautiful studio that sparked inspiration daily and gave our team the “white space” to create! When selecting pieces for this space…

Hey Guys! It’s been way too long since my last blog. We have been so busy with client projects that I haven’t had a chance to blog in a while. But I had to hop on and share my latest home project! About two years ago I totally renovated my living and dining rooms in my very first One Room Challenge! It was an amazing and transformative experience… it was even published on housebeautiful.com! In that project, we elevated our space with paint, window treatments, an 11 foot fireplace wall and of course new furniture. You can read all about it here: One Room Challenge. At the time with such a huge renovation, I knew that I could not work a new sofa into the budget, so I pulled the sofa bed from our guest room and repurposed it in the new space with hopes that one day we could replace it a dream sofa! Well… that day is here!

The day has arrived! It’s Reveal Day and I couldn’t be more excited. Thank you for following along with me, as I share more about our design process and the step by step transformation of my primary bedroom and bathroom! The last eight weeks have been an amazing experience and although there were many hiccups and quick thinking moments along the way, I had so much fun in the process. Ultimately, we were able to push through to the finish line and create a oasis even more beautiful then I could have imagined!

Whew! It's week 7 and we are getting down to the wire! The past few weeks have been amazing seeing everything come together and while I’m excited to see sleep in my bedroom again, I’m equally as excited to share the final product with you. In last week's blog we talked about the ordering process and highlighted some of the key pieces we’re adding to our spaces to make them feel warm and luxurious

We have walls! Welcome back to week 6 of the ORC. I am happy to share that there are real walls up in our bathroom and that means that we are approaching the finish line! As we enter into Week 6, we are moving through our design process and are now in the middle of the Procurement and Project Management phase of our design process.

Design Reveal: As mentioned in last week’s post I am going in a totally different direction on this project. More color, more color, more color! If you recall my mood board is centered around the sunset.

Welcome back to week 4 of the One Room Challenge! Can you believe we’re halfway through this challenge and there are still so many moving parts to complete. Last week’s blog we curated the mood board to get a better feel of what textures, moods, and finishes we wanted to utilize in bathroom and bedroom space. In this phase of the design development process we have reviewed the mood board, designed a plan based on room measurements, my design tastes, and voilá here is the finished product!

The room is selected and the inspiration is set! We are now in week three of the One Room Challenge and I am so excited to have you all get a sneak peek into my mood boards! In Phase 2 of our design development process we occasionally present a mood board to the client with design styles and pieces that we believe fit their taste based on their questionnaire. The reason we choose to start with a mood board first over a full on design is to make sure that we are on track with the clients design wishes. It will also save the client and us time on revisions once the design is created since we base pieces off of the mood board approval.

It’s the Fall 2020 One Room Challenge® reveal day! We here.. Week 6… The Final week! I have enjoyed sharing this design journey with you! The VIRTUAL twist this round has been so much fun and I am so grateful for the opportunity to curate a space for David & Nicole... my favorite virtual clients. It is my hope that after seeing the reveal you are inspired to create a entertaining retreat in your home… especially now when we all need it the most!

I can’t believe we are in Week 5 of the One Room Challenge! Just one more week before the final reveal. This week, I am excited to share with you the final design plan for the “Community Room”! It’s been four weeks since we launched David & Nicole’s design project. So far our design team has since presented their family with; a mood board, floor plan and now the design plan.

In our, signature five step design process at Gray Space, the Design Presentation - Step 2, is often the hallmark of the project. For several weeks, our team works behind the scenes to curate, edit, revise and curate again… to create the best design plan for your home.
