October's Mood Board Monday!

Posted By StephPurcell 1656 days ago on Home Decor

https://www.redesignedclassics.com - For this month’s mood board I am sharing with you a bathroom refresh that I did recently. I love the warm, rich colors of this design with its gold accents. With fall well under way these colors are screaming to be used! I am thinking you could even seasonally decorate this room with some pumpkins and decorative gourds-for the truly festive. For this bathroom I chose classic elements for a timeless look with a modern re-rake. White subway tile with vintage inspired floor tiles are done in a standard black and white that goes with anything. A decorative Persian rug* in rich colors adds warmth and depth in a sophisticated way while the more modern fixtures in gold gives the room clean lines and a contemporary feel. Using an open glass shower door gives the illusion of more space and keeps t

Posted By StephPurcell 1702 days ago on Home Decor

https://www.redesignedclassics.com - I just moved to NYC for the next few months and my temporary apartment is the cutest-but it is SMALL!

Easy Backyard Design Ideas for the Landscaped Challenged

Posted By StephPurcell 1735 days ago on Home Decor

https://www.redesignedclassics.com - With Fourth of July this week and lots of fun family BBQs planned it has gotten me seriously thinking about my outdoor space. I will be the first to admit that I do not have a green thumb. I am not particularly patient when it comes to plants and lack any serious desire to garden. But I do so enjoy a lovely landscaped yard with designated lounge space to enjoy the best of summer in. Keeping in mind my lack of landscape skills I have been trying to find easy outdoor solutions that still look great. I compiled some of my favorite finds so far-and who knows, hopefully in the near future I’ll tackle my jungle of weeds and get serious about designing my backyard.

DIY: New Wallpaper Bookcase Reveal (With Cheap & Easy Tips!)

Posted By StephPurcell 1730 days ago on Home Decor

https://www.redesignedclassics.com - If you saw my Home Tour, you know that one of my favorite parts of our current house is all its built-in nooks and crannies. One particular favorite is our built-in bookshelf in the living room. It is on a curved corner and very much in plain sight. With the majority of my time being spent on the house’s layout at large, I didn’t have time to really focus on the little details (like this bookcase). I knew I wanted to add some extra pizzaz to it and came up with the idea to wallpaper it!

Mood Board Monday: Blush and Blue Office

Posted By StephPurcell 1735 days ago on Home Decor

https://www.redesignedclassics.com - Happy Monday! To start off the week I have another Mood Board for you. This one is an office space that I recently did for a client. She wanted something fresh and modern feeling that incorporated the very popular color combo of blue and blush pink. Per the client’s request, I used blue and blush pink as the central color theme with fresh white walls to keep the office space crisp, clean and modern looking.

September's Mood Board: Sophisticated Modern

Posted By StephPurcell 1691 days ago on Home Decor

https://www.redesignedclassics.com - This design is one I did for a client’s master bedroom. I wanted to create separate spaces within their long rectangular room to allow for a more formal sitting area in front of the bed. I also wanted the room to be more contemporary while remaining inviting. Having a place you can feel at home in, is just as important as good design esthetic. To do this I incorporated a lot of modern elements and mid-century style furniture with soft fabrics and pastel colors. Nothing too harsh. Adding some gold and pink accents creates a feminine touch and combining different patterns adds depth and interest. I suggested a light blue paint color for the walls to add more color to the room in a subtle yet neutral way. The end design turned out to be one of my favorites and I hope you agree!

Mood Board Monday: Urban Escape

Posted By StephPurcell 1735 days ago on Home Decor

https://www.redesignedclassics.com - It’s the start of another week which means is must be MOOD BOARD MONDAY! Today I am featuring a more modern design with pops of color that I recently did for a client moving to a new house. They wanted something fresh and a little more modern while still keeping the feel of the space inviting. They key was to add lots of bold colors-my trick to doing this without making the space seem overwhelming is to keep a neutral consistent throughout. I did this by using the navy furniture and white walls as an anchor. The fireplace was originally brick and made the space seem dark and small, so we painted it white to match the walls. This added a lot of light to the space and really helped open it up.

Found a Vintage Vanity and Now I Get Ready Like a Movie Star

Posted By StephPurcell 1729 days ago on Home Decor

https://www.redesignedclassics.com - Lately I have been really successful in all of my thrift store searching. Sometimes you come away with nothing and sometimes you come away with a vintage vanity for $50!!! I couldn’t believe my luck when I found this forgotten beauty-I knew I had to have it and with a price that low it was probably destiny. The vanity is not in perfect mint condition, there are a few scratches here and there, a broken mirror clip and missing glass shelves-but all things I can replace and fix.
