La salita es el espacio donde nuestra clienta se relaja, escucha música con sus grandes altavoces o mira alguna película. También quiere, pero, poder leer un libro o hacer un pica pica informal con sus amigos en el sofá. Creamos un mueble bajo en forma de “L” que hace a su vez de banco, espacio para almacenar, poner decoración o guardar aparatos electrónicos. Utilizamos módulos básicos y los personalizamos con un sobre de madera a juego con la mesita de centro y la estantería de sobre el sofá. Repicamos una de las paredes para dejar visto el ladrillo y lo pintamos de blanco. Al otro lado: un sofá junto a la ventana, sobre una alfombra muy agradable al tacto y unas cortinas en dos capas (blancas y beige). Arriba una estantería pensada para poner un proyector y con una tira LED integrada.

This Houston kitchen remodel turned an outdated bachelor pad into a contemporary dream fit for newlyweds. The client wanted a contemporary, somewhat commercial look, but also something homey with a comfy, family feel. And they couldn't go too contemporary, since the style of the home is so traditional. The clean, contemporary, white-black-and-grey color scheme is just the beginning of this transformation from the previous kitchen, The revamped 20-by-15-foot kitchen and adjoining dining area also features new stainless steel appliances by Maytag, lighting and furnishings by Restoration Hardware and countertops in white Carrara marble and Absolute Black honed granite. The paneled oak cabinets are now painted a crisp, bright white and finished off with polished nickel pulls. The center island is now a cool grey a few shades darker than the warm grey on the walls. On top of the grey on the new sheetrock, previously covered in a camel-colored textured paint, is Sherwin Williams' Faux Impressions sparkly "Striae Quartz Stone." Ho-hum 12-inch ceramic floor tiles with a western motif border have been replaced with grey tile "planks" resembling distressed wood. An oak-paneled flush-mount light fixture has given way to recessed lights and barn pendant lamps in oil rubbed bronze from Restoration Hardware. And the section housing clunky upper and lower banks of cabinets between the kitchen an dining area now has a sleek counter-turned-table with custom-milled legs. At first, the client wanted to open up that section altogether, but then realized they needed more counter space. The table - a continuation of the granite countertop - was the perfect solution. Plus, it offered space for extra seating. The black, high-back and low-back bar stools are also from Restoration Hardware - as is the new round chandelier and the dining table over which it hangs. Outdoor Homescapes of Houston also took out a wall between the kitchen and living room and remodeled the adjoining living room as well. A decorative cedar beam stained Minwax Jacobean now spans the ceiling where the wall once stood. The oak paneling and stairway railings in the living room, meanwhile, also got a coat of white paint and new window treatments and light fixtures from Restoration Hardware. Staining the top handrailing with the same Jacobean dark stain, however, boosted the new contemporary look even more. The outdoor living space also got a revamp, with a new patio ceiling also stained Jacobean and new outdoor furniture and outdoor area rug from Restoration Hardware. The furniture is from the Klismos collection, in weathered zinc, with Sunbrella fabric in the color "Smoke."

If you are lucky enough to have a guitar player in the house, hang the guitars on an easily accessible wall. Not only will they beautify and add flair to any room, but the easy access will ensure that they are played often!

Changing out accessories and pillows is an easy and inexpensive way to update your space. I love these embroidered pillows from Classic Home Furnishings and the flying pig from Napa Home and Garden is so much fun. These beads make their way all over my house...

This Family room was designed with comfort in mind. It is open to the tech area, dining area/nook and kitchen which make it perfect for entertaining.
