We pride ourselves on the work we do, therefore referrals and repeat clients are the biggest compliment we can receive. This was no different! After completing a previous project for this South Barrington family we were called in once again to do some more….

You know the feeling: that anxious yet excited feeling of waiting for the delivery of your new furniture that you purchased from that furniture store. The truck pulls up in your driveway and two guys jump out to begin unloading your pieces
one at a time — first the sofa, then the accent chairs, and maybe if you were lucky you managed to find the perfect cocktail table and end tables to compliment the look.
But now what?

Not everyone has the luxury to have a seating area as a part of their master bedroom, but our clients had a great loft space adjacent to their bedroom that they loved but didn’t know how to utilize. As you can see in the photo, the loft was a forgotten space that only collected everything else that didn’t have a home elsewhere.

Our 4-poster king size bed started it all!
When our client walked into our showroom, she fell in love with a bed we had on display. She realized that she always wanted a king size bed, but had never replaced the queen bed she had now. After living in this home for 20 years and sleeping on on a queen size bed, this was a good reason to make her dream become a reality.

These clients came to us with one simple wish: make their bathroom more functional.
The couple and their family have lived in this home for over 20 years and have made several attempts to make their bathroom work better for their everyday use. Unfortunately, the bathroom has only been updated with new tiles and fixtures, but it has never been completely redesigned to serve them better.
Enter Linly Designs!

In a previous blog, we discussed starting a project in Hinsdale and showed you finish selections and furniture frames we decided on with our client. Since we recently installed and finished the project, we wanted to share our after photos!
With a family of 6, the most important focus of this room that is used on a daily basis is having enough seating. We didn’t want to fill the room with just anything to get as much seating as possible. Quality, not quantity.

It’s been a long journey for our client and our designers. This was not just a decorating project, but a complete home remodeling project. Our client had hired a local contracting company to put in an addition on the back of their home, ultimately expanding their existing kitchen. She loved the entire concept and the layout of the kitchen but wanted our input on the final finishes of the cabinetry, design details, hardware, and other selections to tie the space together.
We had made several changes such as the cabinetry color, and adding architectural elements such as corbels, arches, and decorative details to the existing cabinetry design. We had also suggested dropping a beam in the center of the kitchen slightly lower than first suggested to create an architectural detail. This would also hide the existing steel beam that supported the new addition.

It always seems that once we complete one project in a client’s home, we end up moving through their entire home, or at least one floor to begin with! And it’s no different with this project. Our clients came to us with a request to give them an updated look for their kitchen. Once that was completed, the results were so fantastic and the clients loved it and felt that since the process was so fast and smooth, and they loved the end result, they wanted to continue working with us for their next project.

Since we often post before and after shots of completed projects, we thought it would be great if our readers could get a glimpse into the middle stages of a project, before we complete it!
We recently started on a great new project in Hinsdale. We met the client during our Open House event in April, and she visited our showroom about a month later to speak with us about her home, and from there she scheduled an In-Home Consultation. We are now in the middle of the project, assisting with her kitchen remodel and also helping design a fireplace mantle with built-ins, as well as coordinate furniture, rugs, lighting and window treatments, and eventually accessories, for her entire lower level.

Time and time again, we have clients walk in to our showroom with the look of exhaustion and frustration on their faces as a result of the overwhelming idea of accessorizing their home. For most, it is a daunting task that takes years of hard work and patience, and often times many mistakes and missteps are made that end up being very costly in the long run. We’ve felt from the beginning that this aspect of residential Interior Design would be an area where we wanted not only to excel, but to be the best. We have done just that with our In-Home Accessory Call.
