A Soft Place to Land - White Rock Condo


When you move from a large family home of 3500 square feet, to a third of that, and into a condo, it's a huge change. My client Nancy, who's condo was furnished a couple of years ago was missing that third layer, the "stuff", which completes a space.

Here's that last layer; it's a thrill as a designer to get to this spot, to express the original intention. Most of all, it's a thrill to see a client so excited! I find this layer has the most impact of the overall project. Design is in the details, after all. A long trip to get here, and a soft place to land.

Your client is experiencing exactly what we have gone through this past year, selling the 3400 sq ft home and moving back into a 2000 sq ft townhome that had been a rental for the past 15 years. We gutted the place and are still in the process of turning it into a "soft place to land". She may enjoy reading our blog. Love the color palette you two arrived at...I also introduced that great shade of green into our bedroom but combined it with gold and cream. Hope she is happy in her new home.
