This fall I was honored to participate in the AAUW Designer Showhouse, where I designed the home's kitchen & breakfast room. The event was for a wonderful cause and showcased a select group of interior designers in one of Northville's most historic homes, a beautiful 1929 Tudor. 

I brought my "updated traditional" aesthetic to both rooms through new paint colors, textiles and furnishings, taking inspiration from the home's landscape and architecture.

The following images are materials I selected for my designs:

Here's how the rooms looked when we started...

And here's the transformation...

The 2011 Showhouse turned out to be a great success for the AAUW and was a wonderful experience for me as a designer. I felt so fortunate for the opportunity to showcase my work in my community and to work alongside such a talented group of designers. 

My goal was to highlight the rooms in their best possible light in keeping with the traditional feel of the home, and I hope I was able to inspire some people along the way :)

TGIF!
