So we do some projects in house and outsource others to freelancers. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Among the stages is this first step where the camera angles, the lights, and all the furniture, accessories and floors are entered in white. It’s easier, cleaner and faster than doing all the materials and then seeing that the lights and furniture aren't correct.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfqlAzg4OVnuykTnJoVPDG1Zvm8FSUmsBo7bQTOpBYl6TfuWgDCEtza38UAErhyphenhyphenRPvXnMskB1KBNmzajZZ-pW-qv-6I0sC9Vt4wJwyFQxz4aRX-O6EVTJhyHjzXb64Idmf825H8HweFqc/s1600/WhatsApp+Image+2020-11-11+at+9.46.03+AM.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="807" data-original-width="1600" height="322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfqlAzg4OVnuykTnJoVPDG1Zvm8FSUmsBo7bQTOpBYl6TfuWgDCEtza38UAErhyphenhyphenRPvXnMskB1KBNmzajZZ-pW-qv-6I0sC9Vt4wJwyFQxz4aRX-O6EVTJhyHjzXb64Idmf825H8HweFqc/w640-h322/WhatsApp+Image+2020-11-11+at+9.46.03+AM.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr4pXC0mWhR2mFlKssefIHAavJ7MwDVT0opyuCulK1uuLNTHZS5OQW2sypvjITVFDTDPhb_KmN7GjLDhXPJHzcWJQ_3-IsPEl0HW_oEIp1p25H4hH7G1QYO6XxIvDPy0vaAJKdIbeLsUc/s1600/WhatsApp+Image+2020-11-11+at+9.51.21+AM.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1596" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr4pXC0mWhR2mFlKssefIHAavJ7MwDVT0opyuCulK1uuLNTHZS5OQW2sypvjITVFDTDPhb_KmN7GjLDhXPJHzcWJQ_3-IsPEl0HW_oEIp1p25H4hH7G1QYO6XxIvDPy0vaAJKdIbeLsUc/w638-h640/WhatsApp+Image+2020-11-11+at+9.51.21+AM.jpeg" width="638" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">If you're a long time follower then you know my love for a well layered space.

text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">1. Comfy shoes. Comfy shoes. That is all!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">2. Lots of water. Lots of coffee. Lots of snacks. Lots of wine - at the end of the day for me because I'm a cheap date and cannot handle liquor all day!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">3. Find a showroom you love and work with often and use them as your hub. Trust me, they don't mind as long as you're gracious and clean up your own mess. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">4. Focus on showrooms that are your design aesthetic and your typical client price point so you can knowledgeably pitch these items to clients. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">5. Have all those fancy catalogs and swag bags shipped to you. Schlepping those around market is a nightmare you never wanna experience. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">And that's that for week two. I'll see you next week to reveal all the virtual market finds that I'll be using in our clients meditation retreat. Until then, go forth and see what all these other busy bee featured designers have been up to. They are NOT playing!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: small;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> </span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I know most of us have been going stir crazy because we've been forced to stay indoors until this virus gets under control. Damn you coronavirus! But here's the bright side: having a home that is functional, beautiful, calming and truly reflective of our personalities is a great side effect of this madness. Just ask sisters Nia and Sania, whose parents reached out to us last year to finally separate the sisters who had always shared a room. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They have very different personalities and their new spaces needed to highlight that. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sanai, the tween, is an adventurous lover of the outdoors. Nia, her teenage big sister, is the quieter of the two and wanted a soft and soothing space reflective of Paris where she's long dreamed of traveling to. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The two now share this new swankified </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B9xJZqIhXHf/" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">bathroom </a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">so of course their bedrooms had to level up and be in the same league. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We'll start with big sis Nia's reveal, who's happy as punch to have the soft and serene sanctuary she's longed for. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's where we started: </span><br />

Do you have a favorite element in this space? Please post a comment below and let us know what it is. We'll share little sis Sanai's bedroom this weekend. We are also praying for their parents who are both first responders on the front lines of dealing with this virus crisis. </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Stay safe everyone. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lord a mercy if the home office hasn't become the most talked about space in our homes this month! Here's the facts: most of us will be forced to work from home thanks to this next level pandemic aka the corona virus so we need a plan. As a veteran in the home office lane, who has always worked from home, I'm sharing a few tips on how to quickly carve out a space that's both beautiful and functional to make you as productive as possible.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Consider your dining room. How many of us REALLY dine in our dining rooms? Stop walking by them as a shrine and make it a functional home office. I've done this twice in my home. </span><br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjave7Fhbyv8mWShbMNyM7xVQ5lkSxnIdWHAt1EjrnZ6eZocGDtyy4OBMBawQahtQ5rFHhF8Y1CjBPmfx2f6JKJesh6vg0Y0yVB6tVd8YtPW8soSlbgClwEVRx8k6iZQtzmdAtkq38l-uQ/s1600/main+pic.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="590" data-original-width="883" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjave7Fhbyv8mWShbMNyM7xVQ5lkSxnIdWHAt1EjrnZ6eZocGDtyy4OBMBawQahtQ5rFHhF8Y1CjBPmfx2f6JKJesh6vg0Y0yVB6tVd8YtPW8soSlbgClwEVRx8k6iZQtzmdAtkq38l-uQ/s640/main+pic.jpeg" width="640" /></a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This was our old combined living/dining room which I transformed last year for the <a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2019/10/new-office-who-this-one-room-challenge.html">One Room Challenge</a> to be a fully functioning office by day for our design team, and a dining room at night and for special occasions. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnaohLZ63sjUfxz0agisEAKNlKZplqU-O29ngENs0mC6ZTY734XUn_dGqmmz32SHjvNkJA4bEioO90fvk65jBCWsshVqxKQ2QXUc3Szu5FwFzT9oUeQx7JHa5lbGF_hEsjcG1lCq5xN40/s1600/emtek+pulls.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="883" data-original-width="590" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnaohLZ63sjUfxz0agisEAKNlKZplqU-O29ngENs0mC6ZTY734XUn_dGqmmz32SHjvNkJA4bEioO90fvk65jBCWsshVqxKQ2QXUc3Szu5FwFzT9oUeQx7JHa5lbGF_hEsjcG1lCq5xN40/s640/emtek+pulls.jpeg" width="426" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You'll need loads of storage for samples, school supplies, paperwork and files. This was a custom built-in but since that won't be an option for a quick office conversion, consider bookcases and buffets/servers from a big box retailer for added storage you'll need. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Your existing dining table can serve double duty. Make it a true work-horse by making one half as the kid zone if you're home-schooling during this virus, and the other half where you get work done. It will also help to set dedicated office hours. I've always started my day at 5am which now gives me a solid 3 hours of work time before Xavier is up and hollering for breakfast since his school routine is out of wack. You may not be an early riser, so do the reverse and get the kids day started first and then carve out some office time and consider working later into the night if you're a night owl.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Don't have an entire room to dedicate as an office, then consider an <a href="https://www.designaddictmom.com/search?q=office">empty closet</a> like my design sissy from another mother Stacy did here in a little used closet in her home years ago. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Dress the part. I always get fully dressed and wear light makeup even if I have no meetings planned. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This has always set the tone that this is a place of business. Walking around in your pajamas all day just won't do that. Shower, get dressed and get to work. You'll likely be doing a lot of meetings via FaceTime, Skype and Zoom so don't be caught off guard looking a hot mess. Though feel free to cheat a bit and get dressed from the waist up!</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />My former home office space, the home's original dining room. I worked here for 5 years before moving to the larger living/dining combined space. This transformation was also a product of the <a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/search/label/one%20room%20challenge">one room challenge </a>because I live for a deadline. I've never installed a TV in either home office. </span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. Limit social media and TV while in the office. I can't focus with the TV on so for us it's always been light music via Spotify or Pandora to get through the day. My notifications on all apps are all turned off, so I only check DMs, Facebook etc. when I pause, not all day incessantly to let them derail my work flow. But do pause and check on your fellow home office squad. We'll all need to feel connected and sane as we grapple with the fallout from this virus. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Take a break. Coffee breaks are key for us always. Ditto some much needed chatter about mindless trivia - latest Netflix binge-worthy show, school and personal sagas, anything to have a momentary distraction. With the kids around this will ultimately save your sanity. Have em take a nap, and join them! A power nap has saved my life on many occasions. Or just walk around the block or your back yard for a few minutes before you get back to work/school work life. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A year ago, the most amazing family reached out to us for a consultation. They'd seen this infamous <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B9aqJ9chWaT/">red sofa photoshoot</a> and our design work and emailed to say that anyone who could take a photo with that kinda attitude is someone they wanted to work with. After stalking our work for a while they decided it was time to meet and get the ball rolling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Like most clients, they wanted to work in phases. Phase one: the transformation of their daughters bedrooms and their shared bathroom. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We'll reveal the bedrooms next, but the bathroom needed to be hella stylish since there is no powder room and it's also the bathroom guests would use. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This bathroom is a standard 5ft x 8ft with no room for expansion so the new design would take place in the existing footprint. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Here are five things we did for this bathroom that will help you with any bathroom renovation:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Remove the tub. A tub is a great thing to have for resale since a family with young kids will need a tub. But if there's a tub in any other bathroom in the house, then it's all good to remove it. We did so here and this immediately makes the bathroom feel larger. If you don't plan to ever sell, then please remove the tub and install a shower with grab bars, especially for aging in place. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Install a frameless shower glass panel/doors. We always do since this opens up the space and makes it feel much larger than it is. Also install the glass as high as possible. Standard height is only 72' high but we usually take ours as high as possible in this case 90" - you need a few inches between the ceiling and the glass for steam to escape. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Okay, back to all things <a href="https://www.kbis.com/">KBIS</a> for part two of our Vegas shenanigans. We had a lot to soak in over four days but there were some distinct themes we noticed: a focus on wellness as a key element of design, the innovative use of traditional materials like sculpting quartz into a tub. The use of smart home technology to make things life at home as stress-free as possible - think WiFi operated ovens, remote temperature-controlled wine closets, remote control screens to bring the outdoors in and to pop televisions from the ceilings, a remote control to turn on a fireplace. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Like this television that with the push a button on a remote control, tucks away in the ceiling when not in use; connecting the outdoors to the indoors with remote controlled screens and a wine room that's temperature controlled remotely.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">There was also a great emphasis on the kitchen as furnished space with modular cabinets, creative storage and negative space as a design element, not something detrimental or overlooked in the design process as highlighted here in the kitchens showcased by </span><a href="https://www.nobilia.de/en/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Nobilia</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">. The German brand is available locally with a 6-8 week lead time, and prides itself on stylish yet modern and functional cabinets that are easy to assemble and install. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One of the most refreshing moments as a Design Hound was to experience a steam shower and spa experience courtesy of Mr. Steam, the 100 year-old company that's arguably the leader in all things steam. Imagine, sitting or standing still in an enclosed shower and allowing steam, to seep into your pores and relieve the stress of the day. The benefits of steam, which can be supplemented by adding your favorite essential oils, are endless - <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Detoxing our system, reducing </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">inflammation, breathing easier to name a few. While adding steam capabilities to your bathroom will add roughly another 25% to your overall budget, the long term benefits are clearly worth the cost. Environmentally, a 15 minute steam shower only uses 2 gallons of water, while we use an average of 40 gallons of water for a standard tub bath - holy what! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Late last year I received the amazing news that I'd been selected as one of the design hounds who would have an all-expense paid trip to the annual Kitchen and Bath Industry Show aka KBIS to scope out all the latest and greatest in the world of kitchen and bathroom designs. This was an incredible opportunity curated by Modenus, which connects brands directly with design influencers to get their product seen by people who will actually use them one day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our sponsors on this whirlwind experience would be <a href="https://www.nobilia.de/en/">Nobilia</a> (a German manufacturer or modern kitchen cabinetry), <a href="https://www.mrsteam.com/">Mr. Steam </a>(the leader in all things steam for an exceptional shower and spa experience), <a href="https://www.thermador.com/us/products/ovens/wall-ovens?cid=20thermadorsem%7Csear%7C%7Ccpc%7Cgoo%7Cbrand%7Cna%7Ctext%7C%7C&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsvTxBRDkARIsAH4W_j-yy4lZhe3jnG9Wo6DYzjkxTgofax3u_N6ODb4I73y5uVgqLKQhYM8aAkFaEALw_wcB">Thermador</a> (the appliance brand that created the wall oven), <a href="http://us.compac.es/quartz/">Compac</a> (leader in the quartz and solid surface industry) and <a href="https://www.control4.com/">Control4</a>, the company revolutionizing smart home technology. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Over the course of four days we would swoon over some pretty transformative new designs in the industry and as a bonus, make some true connections with industry leaders and fellow design hounds, fueled by exceptional meals and lots of wine and spirits. If you missed all the hoopla while I bombarded you with coverage last month, you can still </span><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">view my behind the scenes excursions of the trip via the KBISDesignhounds highlight in my </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolewhitedesignsinteriors/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">Instagram stories</a><span style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Kitchens and bathrooms are my jam so my heart skipped many beats when we saw the innovative ways <a href="http://us.compac.es/quartz/">Compac</a> had engineered their quartz and the new ways to integrate slabs including this geometric shaped island made by molding several slabs together.

the world of quartz.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But it was this tub that stole the show. Carved from one piece of slab, the design showed the endless possibilities of working with quartz to make a statement. And by statement I mean, how to fit three design hounds in a tub!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A year ago we got a call from Mindy, a potential client who'd been referred by my design sis, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reneeeci/">Renee</a>. Mindy had big plans for her kitchen - but she wanted it designed and planned only. The renovation would take place in 2020. Hmmmm. That's an unusual request for us since most clients want instant design gratification, but we said no worries - let’s meet and get the ball rolling. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We knew some things immediately at our consultation:</span><br />
<ol>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mindy was a tiny firecracker with a colorful vocabulary. Her hashtag was immediate #nwdholyshit</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Family was everything to her and would inspire and drive this project.</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Her husband Danny and I were gym buddies but he had no idea what I did for a living - because I’m usually out of breathe on the treadmill or at the boxing bags struggling to stay alive - while he glides along effortlessly. Let's just say he was shocked to come home one day and see me seated at his kitchen table chatting design with his wife. The look on his face was priceless.</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">She had a clear vision of her likes and dislikes but agreed to do something that was very hard for her to do - trust someone to bring her vision to life. Because again, she’s a firecracker with some strong opinions!</span></li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Their twins, Matthew and Sophie, were adorable and could not contain their excitement. </span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Mindy is also a planner so there were things she already had in motion. She wanted a new kitchen window, new glass doors in the dining room and she wanted to know for sure if she could ditch a never used sliding door in her kitchen and raise one of the windows. Getting a consult at this stage was a game changer because had she spent money on a new sliding door and new breakfast window, we would have been forced to design the kitchen in it's existing footprint. Advice: always call in a designer very early in the process. It'll save you a lot of heartache later.</span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The family had never used the sliding door in the far right corner (there's a large sliding door to the left in the dining room which everyone uses instead) so we hatched a plan to seal that area, raise the window by the breakfast table and create much needed counter space and storage. We raise windows often to achieve this as most homeowners rarely use a breakfast table and prefer a true island with seating.</span></td></tr>

<div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Just for you to know, I'm not a fan of peninsulas (attached to a wall) and much prefer an island (not attached to a wall) so most of our designs will have an island. That was the push here, but while the kitchen is very long, it's not very wide. Creating an island would mean sacrificing the back wall but we would create so much new storage and work space with the raised window and sealed sliding doors that it would be worth it. </span></div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The new design included an island. We wanted drama to match Mindy's personality so did so on the floor with this stunning tile and kept the cabinet color palette a calm and soothing grey and white for a modern yet classic and timeless kitchen. </span></td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To our surprise, Mindy decided not to wait until 2020 to tackle the project. The design had blown her away and she'd also lost a dear friend. She decided to live in the now and get the project done right away. Let the demolition begin. To note: we had decided to replace all the tiles and not just in the kitchen so since the dust from this is insanely epic, the family moved out for weeks and stayed with her hubby's family. Oh and hello, those popcorn ceilings you see were also removed and replaced with a smoothly skimmed ceiling. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This new picture window was a game changer and we are glad Mindy had her mind set on having one. Because of the seamless nature of this window, we knew right away a continuous slab was the way to go instead of tiles as the backsplash. This is quartz with marble veining to mimic the look of marble. Much easier to maintain than marble, durable and zero grout lines to worry about. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.oneroomchallenge.com/">One Room Challenge</a> and hip hop hooray, we are finally flexing our design muscles in a much larger office space. The bonus: I now have a dedicated space to chill and read at night aka the mom cave (more on that later). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This has been a doozy of a challenge that went down to the wire - literally as you can see from our </span><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolewhitedesignsinteriors/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">IG stories </a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">we just grouted the tiles inside our coffee station this morning and had our final throw pillows delivered. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our guys have worked overtime to stay focused on our client projects, while helping us with this challenge. My eternal gratitude to them for making this all possible and to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/knowhowshedoesit/?hl=en" target="_blank">Gloribel</a>l and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/samcolbymom/" target="_blank">Debbie</a> who have tolerated my many moments of indecision and rolled their eyes and at 2 am emails that start with "So, what if we do XYZ instead! And of course, a huge thank you to all our sponsors, a few of who went above and beyond what they'd promised and indulged our additional product requests. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To see how this has evolved from an idea to today's reveal please go check out all the previous posts </span><a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2019/10/new-office-who-this-one-room-challenge.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, </span><a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2019/10/one-room-challenge-fall-2019-week-2_9.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, </span><a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2019/10/one-room-challenge-fall-2019-week-3.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">, </span><a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2019/10/one-room-challenge-fall-2019-week-4-da.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and </span><a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2019/10/one-room-challenge-fall-2019-week-5.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let's deconstruct this design shall we?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I've been obsessed with wood and wanted to use it in a big way to end the year so we decided to run it up the walls and ceiling. This is a custom treatment that was installed by our carpenter <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dangwoodcorp/" target="_blank">Andres of Dang Wood</a> - we know he had many moments of frustration to make this work but he understood the vision and worked tireless to make it happen. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Once we made that decision to run the wood up the ceilings, we decided why not add more drama. We fell in love with this <span style="background-color: #f9f9f9;">deconstructed abstract watercolor and ink mural by<a href="https://www.minted.com/product/wall-murals/MIN-K2L-GWM/construct-1?color=A&shape="> Minted artist Ashleigh Ninos.</a> </span></span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: #f9f9f9;">We loved the movement and unfinished vibe it had, the perfect muse for us as we work daily to pull together our own abstract design ideas. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let's chat about this burnt orange sofa shall we? Lord have mercy. We needed a new sofa for the office where we could take a break and chat, and also where clients can relax when they meet with us. There were very few furniture sponsors for the challenge and it was down to the wire to find one and thankfully <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.jonathanlouis.net/find-a-dealer?utm_source=142&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=JL" target="_blank">Jonathan Louis</a> swept in to save us with this comfortable and stylish </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.jonathanlouis.net/collections/living-room/the-elle-collection?utm_source=142&utm_medium=blog&utm_campaign=JL" target="_blank">Elle Collection Sofa in Monaco Rust</a>. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hip hop hooray! We've come to the end of the road and it feels good! Okay, enough of my musical analogies. If you're following along in my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolewhitedesignsinteriors/">IG stories</a> you'll see we still have soooooooooooo much to do my head hurts, but next Wednesday is reveal day and so all hands are on deck at my casa to get these spaces completed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yes, it always takes longer than anyone imagined but when it's all over, the pain and the headaches of trying to transform not one, but two spaces, will be a hazy memory.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So let's chat about how our office/dining lounge will not only be a multi-purpose space where we dream up swoon worthy designs for our clients, it'll be filled with much needed storage, a coffee bar and wine station for after hours, it'll showcase a fun mix of patterns and textures. We've added this <a href="https://www.fabricut.com/sharris/fabric/7038701/naja/onyx" target="_blank">black fabric</a> from our sponsor <a href="https://www.fabricut.com/" target="_blank">Fabricut</a> to these mid-century modern wing back chairs by <a href="https://homepop.com/products/accent-chairs/wingback-accent-chair/" target="_blank">HomePoP</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The key to balancing all those patterns is to add some natural and calmer elements. We did so with natural wood elements we've added to the walls and ceilings, a warm yet still fun pattern in the <a href="https://www.loloirugs.com/products/mas-03-neutral">Loloi</a> rug that will anchor our room, and we painted the walls white knowing that all the pattern play would need a calm starting point. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255 , 255 , 255 , 0); color: #222222;">And that's how this all came to be. Once again, send wine!!! Because we need it to make it to the finish line next week and we also need to fill the two new wine fridges by <a href="https://zephyronline.com/" target="_blank">Zephyr</a> that have found a cozy home in our design.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Happy week 4 of the <a href="https://www.oneroomchallenge.com/">One Room Challenge</a>, the week where all participants wonder why in the name of Jesus we all thought this was a good idea. So here's the tea: the design plans for our new home office/dining lounge has impacted all the rooms on the first floor. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This means my house is a real hot mess with furniture/art stacked in hallways and kitchen, and there are delivery boxes everywhere since the guys are using the garage to work on the custom wall and ceiling details. Poor Xavier has been rolling his eyes every day wondering when will this crazy lady end this madness and return our home to it's normal state. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So let's see what's been popping. We've had some hiccups but we've also made some progress. The wood paneling for the walls have been installed. The ones for the ceiling have been a challenge because we are doing three sides and have to turn the pieces on an angle. Our installer has had to get creative because each strip of wood we are using and staining, is 8 ft. The plan was to miter the edges on a 45 degree angle but it wasn't working so instead he's staggering the pieces for them to connect on a 90 degree angle which Gloribell, our senior designer, sketched on the fly to make sure he understood. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our biggest hiccup has been our wallpaper installation. Our installers used glue for the installation not realizing this was a peel and stick paper from our <a href="https://www.minted.com/">Minted </a>sponsor. As you can see the edges started to come loose. This was a tough reminder to never assume (we rarely use peel and stick options) and our guys are under a lot of pressure from moi plus their other clients so a key detail was overlooked. We've had to remove the entire mural, re-skim, sand and prime the ceiling to prepare to peel and stick the mural tomorrow. You see why wine is a staple in my diet? Anyway, luckily this could be remedied in time but definitely a hard lesson learned and a reminder to pay attention to the details - all details. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's week three of the <a href="https://www.oneroomchallenge.com/">One Room Challenge</a> and the pressure is on like donkey Kong! </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The half-way mark for the ORC, like most renovation projects, is a strange one because it's where you're waiting on deliveries and custom work to be done so progress can seem as slow as molasses. To get a refresher on what we have planned, you can read all the details </span><a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2019/10/new-office-who-this-one-room-challenge.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">here </a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and </span><a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2019/10/one-room-challenge-fall-2019-week-2_9.html" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">here</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But hooray for some more progress. We installed this <a href="https://www.minted.com/product/wall-art-prints/MIN-V0E-GNA/construct-1?color=A&org=title" target="_blank">Minted mural</a> by <a href="https://www.minted.com/store/ashleighninos?feature=artist_store&event=click&domain=pdp_header&t_api=1" target="_blank">Ashleigh Ninos </a> on our new office/dining lounge ceiling and lord, oh lord, if it didn't feel like Christmas in October. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The prep work is key for installing wallpaper and murals. I also always leave this to the professionals. Nothing worse than trying to install these and ending up with glue all over yourself and ruining the paper. So my rule of thumb, get a professional installer if ya can. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We have some fun stuff planned for the walls and ceiling and had to decide on a stain finish. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Many agonizing hours later, and plenty of rolling eye emojis from our installer, we have a winner. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Lord help me guys, but here I am, jumping into one of the most intense design challenges of all time - the </span><a href="https://www.oneroomchallenge.com/" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">One Room Challenge</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. Moi and </span><a href="https://www.oneroomchallenge.com/featured-designers" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">19 other designers</a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> have been selected to transform a room or rooms in our homes (or clients homes) from top to bottom in six weeks. Sure, that sounds like a LOT of time but with all the other madness we have going on it'll be a tight rush to the finish line. But the former reporter in me lives for the deadline pressure so let's do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's the tea: Five years ago I jumped into the ORC as a guest participant to transform our <a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/search/label/ORC%20Week%201">dining room </a>into my <a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/search/label/ORC%20Week%206">home office</a>. It was a hot ghetto mess when we bought our home. I needed a dedicated space to work from and it's been an amazing place where a lot of design magic has been created. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But fast forward five years, and with new members on the team, there have been as many as four people working in this tiny space. As much as we've tried to make it work, it's become painfully clear that we needed to spread our wings and get a bigger space. And since I don't see the need to rent an office space, a room in a my house would once again be the target. This time around we'll be transforming the current shared living/dining rooms into our office/dining lounge. This means the space will function by day as our much larger office space to work without bumping elbows where we can finally have enough space to review plans and the gazillion samples we pull together for client presentations. But by night - okay, mostly on weekends and when friends come over - this must also feel nothing like an office but very much a dining room/lounge. Tall order right? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Well, it'll take some clever storage to hide the office stuff, and fun design elements to unify the spaces but we live for a challenge. Oh, but wait? What will I do no now with our existing office? It'll become my true mom cave, a hideout space for me to relax, read and rejuvenate my soul after a long day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now obviously, we've loved this space and it is everything my color-loving heart wanted when I first designed it. But it's gone through some updates over the years </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">(it was including in our recent <a href="https://nwdinteriors.com/nicole-white-designs-press/our-happy-place">HGTV feature </a>and obviously looked magazine ready) </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">but here's what it looks like now, aka in real life: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks to the amazing ORC creator <a href="http://www.callingithome.com/blog/">Linda</a> for creating this great event that's transformed so may spaces over the years and pushed so many creatives to focus on a room and get it done! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And to our amazing sponsors who are helping to make this room possible: <a href="https://www.loloirugs.com/">Loloi Rugs</a>, <a href="https://www.tileshop.com/">The Tile Shop</a>, <a href="https://varaluz.com/">Varaluz</a>, <a href="https://homepop.com/">Home Pop,</a> <a href="https://zephyronline.com/products/wine-beverage-coolers/">Zephyr</a>, <a href="https://www.legrand.us/">Legrand</a> and <a href="https://www.minted.com/">Minted</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I'm especially excited to be among such a talented and diverse group of other designers and bloggers. Now go see what they are all are up to. Be warned, the ORC is like design caffeine, you'll devour a lot over the next six weeks and you'll become addicted, but you'll be so much happier and inspired because of it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A year ago an amazing couple, Florence and Arveen, reached out to us to completely rip apart their house so it could finally become the home they'd always envisioned. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They offered wine at our consultation so of course I was like, ummmm sureeee thing! </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A LOT has happened since that meeting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">They moved out for six months so we could gut it all. We sadly discovered that their underground plumbing was rotted and had to be replaced at a hefty price - for extensive behind the scenes details of this project see our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolewhitedesignsinteriors/">#nwdprojectwinelovers highlights on Instagram</a>. This was painful but there are often unexpected expenses in renovation projects so we often encourage clients to set aside a contingency fund for these kind of surprises.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Any who, let's take a look at last at how far they've come and we are happy to report they are back home and living their best lives in their newly transformed home. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let's goooooooooooooo. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here where we started with the kitchen:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This backsplash and pot filler stole the show at their recent birthday/housewarming celebration. I even did a "how to use the pot filler demo." Good times. This backsplash choice was also the MOST agonizing decision. The original plan was for a quartz slab backsplash but the plumber nightmare we mentioned meant we had to make some budget changes and this was one of them. But man what a happy budget decision that ending up being! This tile is available in multiple colors and we were all divided: Florence and my team loved the white, I loved the green and black and Arveen loved the black. Black for the win and man it's a stunner. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We had the honor of renovating this entire home appropriately dubbed<a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/nwdprojectwinelovers/"> #nwdprojectwinelovers</a> for two amazing and very wine-loving clients (more about that wine in another post).. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This included three bathrooms that have both undergone quite the transformation. What was wrong? Well, a lot!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Let's start off this reveal with this </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">guest bathroom which had three vanities - side by side! The previous owners had triplets so hmmmmm, that was quite the interesting solution to accommodate all three kids. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Anyway, a lot has changed, including the fact that we had to redo the entire plumbing to this home which was an unexpected, expensive and painful development but one our clients weathered like true champs - you can see videos of this rotted plumbing in our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolewhitedesignsinteriors/">#nwdprojectwinelovers highlights on Instagram</a>. Okay, enough chatter, here we go: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was our approved design plan but it's important for you to understand that our designs often evolve and so I ask clients to not stay lock in to what we first proposed because my mind is often in creative mode and will mix things up a bit. So while we pitched a traditional subway tile installation with white floors, clearly we jazzed things up a bit and took some risks. </span></div>

There were loads of impressive details at this location. For starters, the store is huge and very well lit which is key to be sure you are choosing tiles, hardwood and vinyl flooring that are as true to the color as possible. </span></span><br />

<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Last year we ripped apart every inch of this two-story home in Weston Hills and slowly gave it a new a fabulous lease on life. This wasn't a standard renovation. Our clients own several properties and while they're considering downsizing, they weren’t sure if they would one day move back in to this home where they'd raised their three girls. They did know they wanted it to be a lot less traditional than their primary home, therefore no deep wood tones, no heavy drapery. They wanted a light and airy home, heavy on style and function. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We started on the first floor and worked our way up.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's my process: When I walk into a space to consider it's potential design, nothing is off limits. I'll flip an existing floor plan upside down - relocate a sink if needed, move an ac unit or a washer/dryer if one is sitting in kitchen...That's the beauty of starting afresh. Most homeowners who renovate assume they have to renovate within the existing footprint. Ummm, not so. Ever. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So with that in mind, this kitchen was about to get a lesson in how to move things around to finally achieve great style and function. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's where we started:</span></div>

I just can't with the dangling legs and struggling to get on those bar stools so 99 percent of my kitchen designs have a counter height island. I'm still trying to remember that 1 percent, but carry on while I jog my memory. I will also always prefer a hood that vents to the exterior when possible, over a microwave over the range. That means you'll see loads of convention/microwave combos in our projects or base cabinet microwaves or microwave drawers. </span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Whew. Let's have a seat! This was definitely a labor of love project. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So many lessons learned on this one but man if it isn't now among our faves. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
But here's some Behind The Scenes (BTS) intel:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<ol style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<li>I originally wanted to move the sink to the under the windows where the banquette is and in a rare case, the windows were the perfect height from the floor to do so (we've raised windows before in order to relocate a sink) But out client loves a dedicated breakfast nook and so nope, that idea was nixed much to my dismay. And guess what, that little eating area is now just as fabulous as it was meant to be.</li>
<li>We debated a lot about the kitchen island color. My client wanted the navy color I'd used in another project but since I won't repeat a design or color that was not to be. We went back and forth for weeks about the color then one day she looked at my grey nail color and said, I really love that color on your nails. Can we do that? Ummm sure thing!</li>
<li>I'll always, always take cabinets to the ceiling - unless ceilings are over 10 feet in which case it just doesn't make sense because, ladders to get inside your cabinets shouldn't be an every day thing. </li>
<li>Weeks after we finished the main floor, a pipe burst in the laundry and flooded the main floor. I was a wreck when I walked in to ankle deep water but thankfully we'd popped by just hours after it happened and so we the cabinets weren't soaked. All the doors and baseboards had to be removed and new ones reinstalled. It was a devastating turn of events for this project and slowed things down for weeks as we had to ensure all the walls were dry to avoid mold but thankfully we pulled through.</li>
</ol>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This year we tackled one of the largest master bathroom renovations we've ever done. It involved incorporating two walk in closets that were no longer in use since our clients had converted a bonus room into the walk in closet of everyone's dreams. Oh lord, that closet envy is soooooo real but I digress. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This was for our longtime clients Athalia and Sam, whose home (with the exception of all the bathrooms) we renovated and designed five years ago as you can see <a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2013/11/a-week-in-weston-foyer.html">here</a>, <a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2013/11/a-week-in-weston-project-reveal.html">here</a>, <a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2013/11/a-week-in-weston-kitchen-reveal.html">here</a>, <a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2013/11/a-week-in-weston-family-room.html">here</a> and <a href="https://www.livelaughdecorate.com/2013/11/a-week-in-weston-bedrooms-finale.html">here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To make sense of the entire master bathroom space, which now included the bonus of the two closets, we would relocate everything including the shower, toilet, two separate vanities to one double vanity and a tub.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here's where we started: </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I mean, holy yikes! I've stared at this shower for minutes on end because she is such a beauty. This black and white tile was a huge splurge but added so much badassery (yes, I made that word up) to this shower that it was so worth it. There's more saga about this tile below as well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We added a black frame around our shower glass for added support with a 24' black towel bar instead of a traditional smaller handle for both style and function. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A renovation like this is always a doozy. We chronicled most of the behind the scenes saga on our IG stories but here's a quickie recap:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The original <a href="https://www.annsacks.com/products/tile-stone-mosaic/liaison-by-kelly-wearstler-mosaics#/liaison-hillcrest">Kelly Wearstler via Ann Sacks tile</a> we chose would take months in production so at the 11th hour we switched to <a href="https://www.annsacks.com/products/tile-stone-mosaic/liaison-by-kelly-wearstler-mosaics#/liaison-mulholland-large%2Fverde-blend-stocked-colorway">this</a>. But when it arrived, it was a very bold green, not as subtle as the sample we received. This was a special order and something we would have been forced to live with, but after a few meetings, the amazing team at Ann Sacks agreed to switch it to the <a href="https://www.annsacks.com/products/tile-stone-mosaic/liaison-by-kelly-wearstler-mosaics#/liaison-mulholland-large%2Fnoir-blend-stocked-colorway">Noir Blend</a>. This was a great gesture and one we won't forget from a vendor who did not have to, but it speaks volumes about their commitment to great customer service. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Dump fees are the true winners of construction: we hauled 3 loads here. That's a lot for a single bathroom but keep in mind everything was gutted. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Our original tub spout was too short. Sigh. But dammit if this longer spout isn't as sexy as can be. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">That fabulous makeup vanity bench slipped into back order. We scrambled for a replacement but nothing wowed us. Our client thankfully agreed to wait on the original bench and bwoy was she worth the wait. She's a stunner. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We ended our relationship with one of our main tile installers after this project. It looks amazing, but we had to fight/argue in English and Spanish to get the quality of work we expect at this level and what our clients deserve and that should never be. Finding trades, who care about quality over the quantity of their work in this business, is a constant challenge and one we struggle with constantly behind the scenes but rarely discuss on social media. I've learned in business, and my personal life, that I can love you but let you go. It may take me a while, but it'll happen. Long-term shenanigans just aren't good for the soul. So on that note, if you know of any great tile installers, who truly value their craft, please message me their info. </span></li>
</ul>
