ASHLEY’S NOTES

PRIORITIES

The client wanted a

seating area for relaxation

and an

office space

to bring work home. He wanted the ability to black out his bedroom and still wake up on the bright side. He wanted something

comfortable but nice enough to be proud when entertaining friends

. And, he wanted a unique toilet seat!

This client was

on a budget

and the apartment is pretty tiny so it was important to shop at Consignment Shops, along with economical furniture and decor retailers like Target and Ikea.

WORK

We filled the space with all

new furniture, wall art, textiles, linens, and decor

. We did lots of reorganizing. We also

built a custom desk

in the living room.

The space is purposefully

designed to be flexible

. The coffee table is a footrest AND movable seating for larger groups. The desk is also a tv stand. The side table turns into three tv dinner stands.

We started with zero furniture and by the end of my week-long visit, the place was completely livable!

MY FAVORITE DETAIL

We built the living room desk ourselves. It was a

low-cost solution and fits perfectly

in the living room without taking up too much space, yet still provides everything the client needs.
