Well, I don't know if being a designer gets much more fun than decorating a nursery for a baby girl! I was so pumped when my previous clients reached out to put them on the calendar to complete their baby's nursery. A couple months later they found out they were having a girl, and that kicked the whole project up another notch. So. Much. Cute. Girl. Stuff. This couple had *the* perfect room for a nursery, too - a tiny room in an old house with SO much character - the chunky woodwork, a slanted ceiling, quirky angles... it was awesome!

The Leiser Project - Master Bedroom Reveal

The inspiration for this room came from the bedding that my client already had already picked out. She knew that she loved it, but she was stuck with what to do with the rest of the room. Our next task was to find furniture to not only compliment the headboard but also tie in the rest of her home that had more of a rustic feel to it.

The Leiser Project - Formal Living and Dining Rooms Reveal

I *HATE* being in front of the camera, but I’m stretching myself - going FAAAAAR beyond my comfort zone to try a little something new. So… feel free to laugh at this video. That was the only way I got through it. That and a few curse words every time I had to re-film a scene… which was more times than I’ll ever admit. I’m not a natural. That is my disclaimer. Watch at your own risk.

Master Bathroom Design Boards

A couple weeks ago I shared with you the plans for the master bedroom over at the Nyberg Project. Purchases have been made and I’m pretty sure it’s like Christmas at their front door every day. So jealous! I can’t wait to get up there and see it all myself. Part of the reason I started this whole Basil + Tate gig is because I can’t do it all in my own house. This is even better though because I get darn near the same satisfaction decorating my clients’ homes as I do my own… or maybe even more because I get to spend their money instead of ours! Ha!

Master Bedroom Design Boards

The Nyberg Project has been going strong for over a year now. I’ve professed my love of this project many times before and that just continues to grow with each new project. To date, we have completed their living room, formal dining, kitchen, mudroom, entryway, grand staircase, and guest bedroom. We are currently in the process of accessorizing their guest bathroom and home office. I have SO many more pics I want to share, but I am waiting to reveal them until the rooms are painted. That… and the fact that I get so caught up in doing my thing when I’m over there that I usually forget about taking pics until I’m on my way home. Someday soon though!!

As we work on the final accessories for the guest bathroom and office, we started our plans for the major elements of the master bedroom and bathroom.

The Blair Project - Master Bedroom Reveal

I am always so honored when a repeat client asks me to do another space for them. That was the case with this master bedroom. Earlier last year I had given their living room a facelift… remember this one?
