Elegant Master Bedroom Transformation

Take a look at a recent Master Bedroom Project completed by Peri Nicole Interiors. The pictures below show how we transformed the space into a Beautiful Master Bedroom Retreat!

AFTER PHOTO-The husband loves the masculine qualities of the bed (leather, carved wood), but the wife loves the elegance of the custom bedding, gorgeous lamps and accessories!

BEFORE-This space felt more like a dark cave.    The stuffed dog on the bed even looks tired of the space!

AFTER-Lighter walls and Elegant Custom Bedding Sets the tone for the room!

BEFORE-This niche had uncomfortable barstools for TV viewing.

AFTER-An overstuffed chair with lots of pillows was added with a little table and lamp.  Now a great place to curl up with a book and a cup of tea.

AFTER-Now a beautiful place to lay your head at night!


Although we are not sleep experts at Peri Nicole Interiors, we know how to transform your sleeping quarters into a beautiful retreat! Until next time...sweet dreams!!!

Bring Your Living Room to Life!

AFTER-The photo of our finished room!  A beautiful room to actually "live" in!  Read below how we accomplished this look!

This blog is the continuation of my "month-long" project recently completed.  Earlier in the week we blogged about the homeowners Family Room, but wanted to also show the other portion of our project for this family.  Their Living Room was not used as you can see in the "before" photo, below.  As their children continue to grow, my clients wanted to have a quiet place to read, talk on the phone and rest.

BEFORE PHOTO OF LIVING ROOM-The room had great potential with a view of a beautiful back yard and pool!

BEFORE-The Living Room was never used or furnished. Great for kids and balls though! Beautiful hardwood floors and molding set the stage.  Our work began....

During-Peri Nicole Interiors set out selecting a durable, yet stylish sofa for the Living Room space.  This perfect sofa was selected with durable fabric for parents, kids and pets, while adding texture, style and color to the room.  The leather nailhead detail relaxes the style, and reversible cushions!! Added bonus! Love the wood carved details, too! 

Since we had a clean slate to start with, this great piece of custom art by Julie Farley was selected! It has beautiful pieces of turquoise running throughout the art canvas.  This piece to set the tone for the room!  Beautiful!

ACCESSORIES-This Gallery Design lamp has a beautiful teal shade which ties in with the art piece above.  The end table has a beautiful distressed wood finish, with a touch of iron.  A few key accesories i.e. the clock and simple succulent plants were added to the end table and coffee table.  Succulent plants are hot right now!!

AFTER-This beautiful, hand-painted chest and mirror were placed on this long wall across from the sofa! The mirror adds light along with the matching lamps! (Much needed in a previously dark room).  Another pop of color was added with a piece of pottery.  This client loves horses so we brought her beautiful horse saddle into the room and placed it beside the chest!  Personal items are important to make a space feel like home!!She loved it!

AFTER-Since more lighting was needed in this room, we placed a table and lamp in the curve of the staircase.  It is always nice to have tablescapes to add family photos and more personal items of interest.

AFTER-Our iron ladies are raising their light to the homeowners for a room they will enjoy! Start using your "Living Room" space.    Peri Nicole Interiors would love to help transform your rooms so you are making the most of your spaces.!

Until next time.....

Spaces in Which to Live and Entertain!

BEFORE-The Family Room felt cramped and cluttered!

AFTER-The flow of the  room is more open now, even with additional seating.

When I first met with the homeowner's of this lovely home, the spaces were void of color and light.(See above).  The homeowner's wanted their home to be liveable with active boys in the house.  Yet, a place they would feel proud to entertain guests and friends.  More seating was also on their list.  Take a look at the transformation! Click on photos for a better view.

AFTER-A cozy "L" sectional fits their space nicely with a cozy corner piece.   A large ottoman is on order to rest their legs and to store items below.

AFTER-Lighting was added in the three corners of the room.  Turn on your lamps and turn off overhead lighting for a cozy feel at night!  (MY DESIGN ADVICE ALWAYS WHERE LIGHTING IS CONCERNED!)

AFTER-Personal items i.e. the Longhorn skull used above this newly purchased chest, make spaces personal! Love it!!! It worked beautifully with the artwork aquired for the back hallway.

AFTER-Great display wall with added storage!



The room is now ready for relaxation, enjoyment and a space the family will be proud to entertain in! Actually, The family was ready to test out the entertaining part at the completion of decorating the space! 

YOUR HOME IS A PLACE YOU SHOULD EJOY AND RELAX! If you are not enjoying your spaces, let Peri Nicole Interiors know how we can help you!

Until next time.....!

Fabulous Room Makeovers!

Recently we had the opportunity to help a client with several room makeovers. Although the rooms had very nice furniture pieces, the rooms needed the addition of key accessories to make the room have more character and pizzazz.  Take a look at what we were able to accomplish in an afternoon! To view in a larger frame, click on the photos.

The wall color is a beautiful backdrop for the Original Art! New pillows, lighting and accessories changed the look of the LIVING ROOM! So homey and inviting now!

Dining Room-BEFORE

AFTER- (The inspiration for the Dining Room:  Pottery Barn's French Riddling Wine Racks! My client loved these so we incorporated them into the Design Plan! Perfect for the beautifulArtwork below!

Key Accessories Added:  Love the Artwork!!! Simple Succulent Plants, (**note-very big right now), were added to the Dining Room Table.  I love the addition of the pebble rocks in planters as well! They were a perfect alternative to traditional floral centerpieces! Also, we also used three centerpieces, versus only using one centerpiece.

Dining Room-AFTER
My client's loved the finished room!  The Pottery Barn Wine Racks tie in with the rusticness of the oil painting and elegance of the furniture.  The Colorful Vases on the Console tie in the wall color of the Living Room across from the Dining Room.



AFTER-  THE WINE RACK CAN BE USED TO DISPLAY EMPTY BOTTLES OF THEIR FAVORITE WINES, IN ADDITION TO NEW BOTTLES IN THE WINE RACK! LOVE THESE WINE RACKS!!!

Cool Home Office Remodel

This home office is used by my client on a daily basis!  We needed this space to feel masculine, yet with a modern sort of mid-century feel.  The Aviator Desk was the perfect solution!! This piece has an aged aluminium finish with a multi-riveted construction, reminiscent of World War II aircraft.  By placing this sleek, aerodynamic desk at an angel, it openend up the space!  The office now offers a productive, clutter-free environment to soar through the day! (Like our clever words?)

Since the room is a small with a higher ceiling, the bookcases were needed to draw your eye upward.  The Aviator Desk with open features below, is much less obtrusive than the previous wood desk.

A console will be added to the space below the Wall TV for added storage and in the same aluminum material as the Aviator Desk.  Shutters will also be added to the windows to finish the space for a clean look.

More photos to come, but wanted to see what you think?? We would love your feedback and to help you with your next project!! We hope you soar through your Monday today!!
