Lue Kirchner, executive director and lead designer at Key Associates, freely admits to being an architecture freak.  She can eat, sleep & dream architecture.  And while she truly admires most architectural styles, her personal favorites - - the homes she now gravitates toward living in - - are of the American Bungalow (a Craftsman style) and then the Gothic style of architecture.

INTERIOR DESIGN:  DOWNSIZING

At Key Associates, we frequently assist clients as they downsize.  For this project, we were called in to provide our Interior Design expertise as our clients had sold a large home and were moving into a much smaller apartment.  For the living room, the clients requested a look that was warm and inviting.  It was also requested that we incorporate existing furnishings with new furnishings.  We enjoyed mingling original furniture with new pieces that were more in scale with the apartment size.  The result is warm and inviting, yet very comfortable and functional.

Last week we showcased an interior decorating and design job on a kitchen/breakfast area.  This week we are going way back in our photo files to focus on this budget-minded spare bedroom makeover.  Notice how a couple of changes such as decluttering and adding crisp, contrasting colors really brighten the room.  The updates create a clean, open, and inviting room that guests are sure to enjoy.  Do you have a room in your home that needs a fresh look?  Give Key Associates a call - we love creating a new perspective in our clients' homes!

Did you know that Key Associates is able to execute home staging remotely?  We had a recent client that needed assistance in another state.  We were able to work this project through a telephone consultation. The client and a Key Associates Home Staging Professional went through each "Before" MLS photo.  Key Associates then made detailed recommendations relative to paint colors, changes, decluttering, etc.  The client then followed through with a vengeance and did a great job!  Check it out for yourself:
