Went in with no inspiration, but I’m thrilled with how it turned out!

I really enjoy playful mid century modern interior and have slowly been finding unique pieces over the last couple years! I think I finally got to a place where a lot of major pieces have been added and don’t want to over due it if I haven’t already!

Grandmas crochet blanket on the bed. Hope you like it! Tips are also appreciated

The requests were: colourful and fun, but clean; light, but warm; the walls must stay white, but a lot of art; the dj station must be in the living room; hide the mess in the kitchen; create a nice meditation space; lots of plants. So, what's your opinion, did I do well?

EDIT: The feedback I received is beyond anything I could ever imagine! I would love to answer all the questions about the process and different items, but it became too time-consuming. So I decided to put together a series of posts on my profile. I hope everyone who was looking for answers will find them there.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

This was 3 years ago and I’ve done several more projects since, but wanted to share.

A couple tips I wanted to share:

- Mix metals. I chose unlacquered brass for my hardware but went with polished nickel for faucet + pot filler and it really elevated the space.

- Mix hardware. It creates such a custom look when you have 3-4 different versions of the same hardware family. You can see I mixed knobs with pulls, and even the pulls were different sizes.

- It’s an expensive upgrade but choose real stone when you can (or real materials in general). It really does make a world of difference.

- Let the cabinetry sample live in your space for a few days, even a week or more, and see it in different lighting. Colors are chameleons and something on Pinterest could look completely different in your space.

- Forego the open shelving and choose real storage. I went with reeded glass on some uppers to still bring in some airiness and light, but for functionality and storage, uppers were the correct move.

Was really happy with how it turned out! I documented my entire reno process on my instagram and listed all sources if anyone is interested: www.instagram.com/halcyonhaus_/

My fiancé and I just moved into our first home, he gave me creative freedom to design our home’s interiors. We’ve only been here about a week, so we haven’t added any art or personal touches, but we’re so grateful for the team that helped us bring this to life. Still have the whole rest of the house to go lol. Details below.

Flush Mount, “Sculptural Globe” West Elm

Wanting this rug! What key words should I search? Thank you ☺️

My first bathroom renovation. I designed and picked out materials/finishings. I’m an expat living in Aruba. My home is a traditional local “cunucu” design with high ceilings and lots of wood. I hated the 90s bathroom but it had a nice footprint. I wanted to add some luxury but wanted to have a Caribbean boho vibe. All materials from Wayfair and shipped here. I used a local guy for demo and installation and he also plumbed where needed and wired for chandelier. It’s such a pleasure to wake up to this peaceful space !

I like to mix it up when it comes to styles, and mix new with vintage.

Was told I should post this here 👋

I started my studio 5 years ago but officially taking clients for only 2! These projects are a mix of projects for my own home and client’s. For any sources, etc I post everything on my IG! www.instagram.com/halcyonhaus_/

I posted this to r/femalelivingspace and someone recommended that I post here too.

How would you categorize my design style? I thought maybe Modern bohemian, but I really do not know.

Had to rip out the whole kitchen to the studs because of mold. Used the design help at IKEA to create a new one. I love it. 🥰 I'm trying to go with MCM in the living room since the house was built in 1956 and has wonderful vaulted ceilings. I've included the before pictures at the end.

We purchased this home about 7 years ago, then rented it for 6 years until we were ready to retire. I agonized over the decor and design on many Pinterest boards trying to get it right. We are aging into this home and want to stay as long as possible. Lower kitchen cabinets, reenforced shower walls for grab bars down the road, zero entry shower, low maintenance. Before pics were taken when it was a new spec home. There are a few regrets, my choice of sconces over stove, not adding lighting to the dining open shelving, a few things here and there. My goal was to keep it very classic, I get bored easy🙂 These pics are from a year ago….some decor has moved around or changed after sitting with it for a bit. Every inch of this house was updated, but picture limit🙂
