This bathroom started with two eye turning features. Sexy black lights from Sazerac Stitches and a blue vanity from Wayfair. The rest of the room was designed to be mostly neutral, and hint at that Disney love. I sent a few fun options for the floor, some of which broke the budget, so we ended up with this diagonal penny design and WOW does it pop. The client was a little unsure of it, but now it’s her favorite part! I knew she would love it when I took a trip to Disneyland and saw a similar fun tile in California Adventure.

Since we came in under budget on the kitchen and bathrooms, we were able to tackle one more area in the home- the entryway! We stole our inspiration from New Orleans Square at Disneyland. You might recognize these slate tiles look very similar to the ground as you wait for the best ride in the park- Pirates of the Caribbean. ;) The old entry way bothered me so much. I hated the way they decided to lay the tile. With the new tile, I decided to start the tiles on the diagonal, which made the angle of the entryway feel much better. The pop of teal ties all the clients fun color throughout the house.

I don’t always get to design something that I love, but this client had so many shared loves that I really had fun seeing the space come together. We removed walls and a drop ceiling. We had to move the HVAC to new locations in the ceiling, and we closed up the third entrance into the great room to make a walk in pantry. Every element, from the black hexagon tiles to the Michelle Black Wallpaper to the Shades of Light pendants, was a delight to design.
