Before & After

Home Improvement Small Houses

November 29, 2016

home improvements living room

I’ve been following this duo for sometime now and I had to share this home improvement project on their historic townhouse! Bryan and Catherine’s company, Beginning in the Middle, is full of inspiration for home improvements in small spaces and I love it so much…maybe because that has been my life in my little Hollywood Hills cottage…which is now home to another couple, can’t believe the whirlwind of change in the last few weeks but so excited for what’s ahead and even more excited to share with you soon!

This historic townhouse is fabulous, it mixes neutrals and metallics brilliantly and is on trend especially for small space designs. My favorite rooms are the living room and dining room but I’ll be sharing more from this Before and After soon because the rooms have a few really great design details that I am loving for my own home design.

Traveling this week and on the go basically from now until 2017…somehow I need to shop for the holidays in between now and then…getting my annual holiday gift guide ready to share too! So many great gifts for this holiday season…okay off to the airport!!

    Any idea where “Let’s Stay Home” came from?

The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools The kitchen island gets all the credit. The stools rarely get any.
Velvet, woven wood, molded modern, sculptural, cast brass — seven islands, seven completely different takes on where you actually sit down. Some rooms go quiet with it, some go bold. Both work.
Which stools would you steal for your own island? Drop your answer 👇

An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate.An easy fall tablescape you can actually recreate. 🍂
You don’t need a perfectly styled table or a dozen new pieces to make a fall gathering feel special. Start with what you already have and layer in a few simple details.
Think woven placemats + simple white plates + gingham napkins + fresh greenery. Add clear glassware and a simple centerpiece, and you have a table that feels warm, collected, and ready for dinner with friends.
The best part? Most of these elements can work beyond fall, too. Just switch out the napkin pattern or greenery and you have a completely different look.
Save this for your next fall gathering and use it as a starting point for your own table. 🤎

Custom millwork. Steel-framed doors. A main level that finally flows the way it should. Every space here earns its place, nothing feels like leftover square footage.

A blank wall isn’t neutral, it’s a missed opportunity. The right piece doesn’t just fill space, it gives a whole room a reason to exist.
