Client Inspiration

 Woodward Residence


I am working with Holly and Mark Woodward to help them design their new dream home. They live in High Point North Carolina close to the historic district. They have an older house that is needing some renovations and expansions to the master bedroom, walk-in closet, garage, laundry room, and kitchen. I will assist them in choosing fabrics, finishes, furnishings, and equipment for the living room/ dining room, master suite, den, and kitchen. They are not planning to move again so I must make their home accessible for future possible issues such as possible children or the need for a wheel chair. There are some pieces in the home that they are wanting to keep, so I need to find ways to work them into the space. Mark tends to have a taste more for the modern, mid-century look. As while Holly, the definite girl, really likes the glam combined with traditional.  My job is to help them find a happy medium for the two. My goal is to help them find that perfect middle ground, brighten up the home, and treasure the beauty of their older home. 

Some inspirations for my new clients:


I chose this image because Holly told how she loved teal with in the room. So the teal pendulum light fixtures add a splash of color to the mostly neutral room. She also loves floor length curtains with the retro print. I know that Mark tends to like have neutral rooms with splashes of colors in the accessories. I think this is a good of example of how I can mist the different styles together. 





I am really drawn to this image by the brightness. I think that this might be something that could be used in their home. A bright color neutralized like this yellow might be a nice addition to the home to help make the rooms seem brighter and bigger. This is an example of traditional and glam and would be really close to Holly's liking. 



There is one thing that Mark and Holly agree on is high contrast rooms. This might be something that might want to think about for their kitchen. This may not be glam enough for Holly's tastes but it would definitely suit Marks tastes for the modern look that he really enjoys. 






This might be more to both of their liking. Holly really likes an all white kitchen and with the simplicity of the room we could really glam it up to help meet her likings. This something to keep in mind for the renovations of their kitchen.






Holly and Mark told me how they were not afraid of combining patterns and textures. I think this is a great example of how we can do that within their home. Not just only the bedroom. This room has a Contemporary look as well as traditional. This is good medium ground for my clients.





This is definitely a bathroom made for a female. This is a great example of the kind of style that Holly really enjoys. We might could take some of the elements from this bathroom and incorporate them into their own home.
