On Facebook and Instagram I recently posted some highlights of a local home I got to work on. Sometimes with my e-design clients I don't always get to see the finished product. I get SO excited when I see my designs come to life! This time I got to work with the cutest family of 7! They were such a joy to and we aren't done YET!!!<br />
<br />
Before they purchased the home I was called to look over the home and see if it was something we could work with, that wouldn't require too much to fix design wise. What they should work on now, and what could be held off until later. I made some suggestions, and they gave me a call after they had moved in!<br />
<br />
We worked first on the entry and main living area. It was very important to my client that they had a nice place for their family, as well as for others. I feel we accomplished the goal. The home is easy for them to take care of, nothing is too precious, but it still looks stylish!<br />
<br />
First was the floor plan. We worked together to come up with a fix for this awkward space that would house toys and could look pretty in no time! They requested a sectional and a place to hold some extra chairs from their kitchen dining area. We incorporated some of their previous furniture with some updates, and added more storage where we could. The area on the right is for the kids to play and the sofa table houses baskets for a quick clean up!<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next was the mood-board. Although this client was local, I love to do these to help them get the vision of the space. We worked together with a shared Pinterest board of ideas. By going with the fixed elements throughout their home (St. Cecelia Granite) We were able to have a color pallet that looked fresh and let them keep the existing granite instead of over renovating.</div>

<br />
Amazing transformation if I do say so myself!! :) Here is a beautiful testimonial I got from the cute now family of seven:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When my husband and I, and our 4 young children moved into
our new home, it was obvious the place
would need a lot of work before we could really call it our own! The colors,
the layout, well so many things really just weren’t working for us. I called
Annie, desperate for some help, and that is where the magic began. Annie asked
us lot of questions and got to know what we were looking for when it came to
design, function, and the general feel of each room. I was worried that the
task would be too much to take on, what with a tight budget, and needing a very
kid friendly, yet classy and well designed environment throughout. I wasn’t
sure if our “dream” living spaces were even realistic with young children in
the home, but Annie made it possible! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After our consult, she came back with amazing idea boards
that had everything that was important to us incorporated in them. I was blown
away at how she was able to take our likes/dislikes and within days create
these beautiful boards that had us speechless! It was obvious that she knew
exactly what we wanted. She not only paid close attention to all the details in
the colors/textures/function of each piece in the room, but she also took into
consideration things that I would have never thought of like where the
Christmas tree would best fit etc. She was always a step ahead, and planning
for those things that had not even crossed our minds yet!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Annie took us
through each idea board and explained the functions and “why” of each item. She
also sourced each one, so I knew exactly what I needed and where I needed to go
to get it. Having her to work with took away all the indecisiveness that comes
with the normally daunting task of choosing home décor. With Annie there was a plan, and we
understood the beginning to the end and the why of it all. We were excited to
do it right the first time! Having Annie’s idea boards and sources meant saving
us money and time, as we would not be buying things not knowing whether they
would work long term or not and we wouldn’t be caught painting coat after coat
trying to find that perfect shade!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First on our list
was our dysfunctional living room and entry, and boy it went through such a
drastic transformation! Thanks to Annie’s design and talent we were able to get
that classy yet comfortable living area that is clean and inviting, yet kid
proof and kid friendly, so there was no need to fuss over anything getting
ruined or worn out. I love that my family room functions so well for my family
now and that everything has its own space so that clean up is quick and easy
and done in a matter of minutes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our entry way is perfect! Thanks to Annie’s
suggestions I was able to use some of my own creative talents along with her direction
to make it unique and a true reflection of our family. I love inviting our
friends and family to come over and relax in these areas, and I always get so
many compliments when I do. I also love that after the effort and work we put
forth to create these spaces with Annie (and do it right the first time), my
family and I can just relax and enjoy them and I don’t have to worry about
shopping for more decorations or trying a different shade of paint etc. It’s
done and it’s perfect!<o:p></o:p></div>

Just keeping this post short and sweet to tell you about what's new. We have been trying for another baby for about two years now. It is not news to us that it takes us a long while to get pregnant but this one has been taking longer. I personally have friends who have tried for 7-8 years before having another child (with multiple miscarriages in between) they are my heros. We were lucky enough to get pregnant a few months ago but it sadly ended in a miscarriage. I feel incredibly lucky to have two kids (one of each gender) but we feel that there is at least one more out there.... I have taken up an affirmation from one of Louise Hay's books that says "Divine right action is always taking place in my life. I love and approve of myself, all is well." She always seems to have everything worded just perfectly. Saying the affirmations each morning in the mirror to myself seems to help too.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
On the other hand I have also been extremely busy getting everything ready for our home remodel. We really love where we live and hope to be here for a long time. Our home desperately needs some love and care as it was sitting for over a year when we bought it. We have been here for two years saving till we can get this done the right way. I have been pouring over details on how we can make this home be less tract home and more of a classic home. <br />
<br />
I live in Arizona and because the architecture of my home leans this way, I am looking to a Spanish Colonial style but a bit more updated. In fact, <a href="http://paloma81.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-texas-sized-dream-home.html">this home</a> is a good representation of where I am going with it (on a much smaller scale of course). When I saw it I literally yelled YES!!! It was what I had been thinking of but hadn't seen done yet. I have discovered that I am a very visual person, so it helps to see things and get ideas. I really wish more home builders here in Arizona would go back to more classic designs, but that is a topic for another day!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">The other day I came across this wonderful quote. I decided to make it "pin-worthy" and to share it with all of you! The photo is from my father-in-law Michael Rytting, taken in Arizona. I thought it was the perfect image for the quote.</span><br />

So Anna from <a href="http://mydesignethos.blogspot.com/2013/06/moodboard-monday-link-up-glam.html">My Design Ethos</a> is graciously co-hosting it with her.<br />
<br />
I have made two previous Moodboard Monday designs, a <a href="http://www.annievincent.com/2012/06/mood-board-monday-fun-family-room.html">living room</a> and a <a href="http://www.annievincent.com/2012/08/beach-vacation-mood-board-mondayjohn.html">bedroom</a>. This time I thought it might be fun to do a library!<br />
<br />
The inspiration pieces were all coffee tables<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I chose the Origami Coffee Table. I loved the sculptural quality of the base and the beautiful bone tiled top. It seemed the perfect choice for my cozy industrial library!<br />
<br />

<br />
Want to make it your own? Here is a list of sources for you:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ylighting.com/robert-abbey-candelaria-36-chandelier.html">Chandelier</a>: I chose this to compliment the coffee table in shape and industrial vibe.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ballarddesigns.com/griffin-sofa-with-aged-brass-nailheads/sofas-loveseats/griffin/255176?defattrib=&defattribvalue=&listIndex=4">Sofa</a>: I love this sofa! Curves and a timeless quality about it. I added an indigo striped fabric and antiqued brass nailheads to compliment the warm and cool color story in the room.<br />
<br />
Sofa pillows: Beautiful velvet pillows 22-24" provide a good compliment to the patterned sofa and provide more coziness to the room.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.ballarddesigns.com/larkin-club-chair/chairs/upholstered-chairs/251226?defattrib=&defattribvalue=&listIndex=7">Chair</a>: Mimicking the lines of the sofa the slipcovers lend a casual yet tailored feeling.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/suzani-embroidered-euro-shams-cool/?pkey=call-decorative-throws-pillows">Chair pillows</a>: Bringing in some more blue into the room the pattern on the pillows also references the pattern on the rug.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.onekingslane.com/invite/annievincent2">Rug</a>: An antique oushak with a beautiful pattern plus warm and cool tones.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.horchow.com/p/Rendezvous-Abstract-Art-Abstract/cprod92270034_cat14440732_cat000094_/?isEditorial=false&index=59&seoDesigner=&cmCat=cat000000cat000089cat000094cat14440732">Artwork</a>: The room was feeling a tiny bit heavy and stuffy. So I added this abstract to lighten the room up and also to pull even more of the blue tones throughout the room.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.circalighting.com/details.aspx?pid=3060">Sconces</a>: I love the cozy and flattering light that sconces can bring. These are in a yummy antique brass color.<br />
<br />
Bookcases: I chose a rich warm wood tone because I loved the cozy feeling it brought, white just seemed too stark in this design.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/peyton-linen-cotton-drape/?pkey=csale-drapes-shades-hardware">Curtains</a>: There was a lot going on in the room so I decided to frame the window with a solid curtain to make sure the focus was on the other pieces in the room.<br />
<br />
Paint color: Manchester Tan HC-81 is a great neutral that lends itself well to the other colors I have in the room.<br />
<br />

My kids recently got out of school and I am going to be spending a little time with them getting some routines in place. I'll be back soon, promise!<br /><br /><br /><br />Annie Vincent Interiorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00202814915760489598noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689768209489466168.post-51028739216156873162013-05-07T10:27:00.002-07:002014-04-07T10:48:50.272-07:00A tale of two kitchens....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I have been busy recently with some <a href="http://www.annievincent.com/p/services.html">e-design clients</a> and wanted to share with you two kitchens I have recently worked on. They are both very different in style and scope of work. It was so fun and exciting to help both of these families out!<br />
<br />
The first one called for a chic and simple update<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVUR-dmFl1siPnhkCJI-Y30t44d5nM4EJmPgSCp-4oxgBDZa0_dh1_8Yw4TZ3PkEFT59IGrlzoGuRl8Z3hN_IQ10Hp2-QBvp7XqC7_NESkX9w_yZluzCcXiGoZYTUlqLEqVS89kuXEigMm/s1600/187467_original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVUR-dmFl1siPnhkCJI-Y30t44d5nM4EJmPgSCp-4oxgBDZa0_dh1_8Yw4TZ3PkEFT59IGrlzoGuRl8Z3hN_IQ10Hp2-QBvp7XqC7_NESkX9w_yZluzCcXiGoZYTUlqLEqVS89kuXEigMm/s1600/187467_original.jpg" height="448" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
This client was keeping existing items (countertops, cabinets) but was open to painting both! So I gave her some options for that and updated the rest of the finishes where I could for her!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The second one was a bit more involved.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAqV_Kl551S5gCFxt61Q4reQYnq-xqxYu4l3SYeOG0cxvvHkUUxN6CDLlDyT9odkjSuu2qVCyfgRfq-xL-MsvA3iqD53HYeDSzIMLEPg_G8qgQhnIfoJ862MyW4aSEnlo1IOiEkrTHTw0R/s1600/119334_original.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAqV_Kl551S5gCFxt61Q4reQYnq-xqxYu4l3SYeOG0cxvvHkUUxN6CDLlDyT9odkjSuu2qVCyfgRfq-xL-MsvA3iqD53HYeDSzIMLEPg_G8qgQhnIfoJ862MyW4aSEnlo1IOiEkrTHTw0R/s1600/119334_original.jpg" height="448" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
With the exception of the floors and appliances we were replacing the cabinets, counters and backsplash. So I gave them some options and added a little extra to coordinate with their eat in kitchen area as well.<br />
<br />
There are budget friendly items in each kitchen and yet they both look fabulous.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Plan meals for a week. Just planning dinners for the week takes a huge weight off your shoulders. The average family only eats about 6-7 different dinners over a month and then repeats them. Use some family favorites or expand on your meals..A great place for new recipes is trade some with friends, </span><a href="http://pinterest.com/annievincent/" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">pinterest</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and even the library. </span></div>

How do you take inspiration like the beach but not go full blown theme? I like to do it through mood and color.<br />

Now there are a couple literal translations here...the sunburst mirror and <a href="http://www.target.com/p/nate-berkus-for-target-urchin-4-white/-/A-14146585">white sea urchin from Nate Berkus</a> but when you look at this room it doesn't scream I have a beach themed living room. Yet, you still get the feeling of the beach and feel relaxed each time you walk into the room.<br />
<br />
Thanks C.T. for the opportunity to bring your vacation, home!<br />

I'm back from Design Camp Atlanta! It was a blast. I will be sure and share some of my favorite insights and if you followed me on twitter you already saw some of the big names that we spent time with!<br />
<br />
However, today I am taking a little break because it is someone's big day....potty training day that is. My son and I will be spending some quality time today as he learns to become a big boy. I can't really tell if this pep talk is more for me or him! HA!<br /><br />So with that I will be taking a little break for this week to focus on him. I will be back next week with a recap of Design Camp!<br /><br /><br />But I didn't want to leave you without anything pretty to look at, so here are some of my favorite bathrooms. (They probably deserve a post of their own too!)<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you haven't heard, Nate has teamed up with Calico Corners to create his first fabric collection. They start at $14 yd and true to his aesthetic, the fabrics are inspired by his exotic travels and his love for mixing and matching patterns. There are a lot of ethnic prints, solids, and subtle sheens in a wide variety of colors and combinations!</span></div>

I placed #5 in popular votes but sadly did not win one of the tickets. (Although my friend Kristie (<a href="http://thedecorologist.com/all-i-want-for-christmas-is-design-camp">The Decorologis</a>t) did! YAY! ) I was honestly just honored, and humbled to have placed so high in one of my first competitions. It is thanks to the fabulous readers and friends I have! Thank you!!<br />
<br />
I also entered in a drawing that my friend <a href="http://tracizeller.com/blog/">Traci Zeller</a> had for a free ticket to <a href="http://designcamp.com/">Design Camp</a> with Lori and Kelli. I didn't win that drawing either. :(<br />
<br />
I still, kept my spirits high and prayed that I would continue to find ways to learn and grow in my new business this year.<br />
<br />
Those positive thoughts and prayers did not go unnoticed....<br />
<br />
Traci Zeller had such a great response to her giveaway for Design Camp tickets that Lori and Kelli sent her a handful of extra tickets and I GOT ONE!!!<br />
<br />
I was so shocked, humbled and very very excited!<br />

<br />
<br />
I will be off to Atlanta learning from the who's who in the industry and loving every minute of it!<br />
<br />
A special thanks to my wonderful family for helping me out and making this possible! You are the best!<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In this exercise we are working with different colors and separating them into the following:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">In this exercise we are using our new found undertone knowledge to work with fabric samples. Neutrals are the hardest to combine (if you don't pay attention to the undertones) and in this class we went into depth. If you are interested in knowing more on this topic I highly suggest <a href="http://shop.mariakillam.com/How-to-Choose-Paint-Colours-With-Confidence_p_8.html">Maria's e-book</a>!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A lot of people took the course to gain more color confidence, and we did! I now have the tools and language to communicate with my clients better and give them the look and feel they are after! Not to mention making those tricky places in my own home work. (Look for upcoming posts on this soon!)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We had so much fun as we explored the world of undertones. We talked about creating flow in your space. We talked about how to perform effective color consultations for interior and exterior spaces. I really enjoyed that the workshop that was a mix of lecture, hands on learning and interacting with other designers (new and seasoned). We really got the best of everything!</span></div>

<a href="http://olioboard.com/">Olioboard</a> is a great (free!) site that allows anyone to put together their own mood board. I use it for my own home and for clients. Sounds like fun? It is! Especially when you factor in the challenges. <br /><br />I haven't entered challenges previously because, well I am a new designer and still learning, and growing. I didn't think I had what it took to go up against the big dogs!</div>
