While I love every minute of being a stay-at-home mom--- it's been fun to have a project or two to work on in my free time. I enjoy it and it keeps me feeling creative and inspired. This project is one that I did for one of my dear friends from college. This is their keeping room/kitchen- the place in their house where they spend the most time as a family of four. We had so much fun working together and I am so glad she is pleased with the outcome! Katey was such a great sport! She was able to get some new things for the space... but she was also great about doing a few DIY projects so that she could incorporate a few things that they already owned, but didn't love.
Keeping Room/ Kitchen before:
And After:
I have a short waiting list for e-design clients (since I only take on one or two at a time)--- but please let me know if you are interested. I'd love to help you update your space!

Great job, Brooke! The after is so pretty, cozy, inviting... Interesting the way you added the fabric in the kitchen cabinets too - really adds some great texture to that space.
Bravo. Cozy, up-to-date, fresh, young, pretty and relaxed.
I especially love the use of Suzani!
What an inviting spot. The fabric on the chairs is fabulous.
Looks great! Cozy and stylish! Great job!

This makeover is great! Amazing what you can do by just freshening up some things, adding a few new pieces and moving stuff around. I have that rug in my dining room and love it (it is the West Elm rug, right?).

Love it! So pretty. Really love that rug and of course, the chairs!
You're amazing. Even just something as simple as painting the stools or changing the pillows makes a huge difference. I love the lantern shades! Great job!

Fabulous job! I love the pendant lights and the skirted ottoman.
It looks AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Of course WE ARE LOVING OUR ROOM! I love every bit of it .. even the smallest touches. I take everything I am working on to that room, just so I can spend time in it!
Well yes please. I'll take it all and you could do my house any time! Oh and I've never heard of "keeping room" but I'm totally stealing that expression - must be southern and I like it!
can you let me know which rug you ended up using? I have been looking for a natural fiber rug such as jute or sisal. i am worried that some shed too much, and too quickly. can you let us know which one you used here and how it holds up?
