EARTHY COASTAL FIRST FLOOR

New Build in Mechanicsburg, Pa

Many of our clients reach out to us because they have recently moved - either into new builds or new-to-them homes. This project is an example of a beautiful, blank slate, new build. The core goals of this project were:


  • No more plain, blank walls
  • Ditch the furniture that's been around since college
  • Add their personality and inject style
  • Make it feel more like home
  • Create a space in which they would be excited and proud to host friends and family.


Essentially everything in the living room changed, but the biggest player in this transformation is the new fireplace wall with shelves. This impactful focal point completely changed the room, amped up the coziness, and provided so much opportunity for styling. Layer in the new sofas with brass legs, marble coffee table, and statement curtains, and our clients had the earthy coastal space they always dreamed of but didn't know how to implement in their home. The look extended to the connected kitchen with textured table, arch cabinet, and rattan lighting and stools.

The dining room is a big testament to the power of rugs, lighting, and window treatments! In this space, the homeowners did not have much in the room other than the core furniture and were looking to make the space feel finished and inviting. To do so, we went for high impact with the wall treatment, chandelier, and large art piece and kept the rest of the styling simple. The rug and airy curtains add so much warmth to the room.


Major interest was added in the entry with this wall mural that gives the appearance of a textured, ombre painted wall. It's the perfect backdrop for this gorgeous custom white oak waterfall table! New lighting, statement mirror, runner and decor complete the space. All in all, it definitely creates a moment the second you step in the door!

Not to be forgotten, the powder room also received a glow up. Warm and cozy are not usually the words that jump to mind when discussing powder rooms, but we think this one sure is! Board and batten added interest and the wood vanity and brass fixtures bring up the warmth. Bonus points for extra storage under the sink! We just love how this turned out.
