Throwing back to this cute baby girl’s nursery. Mom said do anything except pink.😆 Cool, purple it is!💜

Where all the little girl magic happens! 💕

Fall is officially here and Mother Nature will soon transform everything to reflect the season we’re in. It’s also time for me to transform the decor in my home. My style has changed some and I too will be transforming the decor to reflect it. I’m not really looking forward to it, because I know I’m about to get on my own nerves.😂 Anywho, count this as the official ‘Before’ pic. Stay tuned!

Happy Fall/Autumn!!🍂🥮

A common misconception about hiring an interior designer is that you’ll have to buy all new furnishings. As long as the existing furniture fairs well with the new vision for the space, that’s not true.😆

In this project, we used all the client’s existing furniture, and added 2 chairs, wall moulding, paint, lighting and accessories. With strategic design planning, the transformation was still impactful and the client was overjoyed.

The goal is to achieve the desired outcome with or without all new furnishings.😉

Happy Monday!! I’m so excited to share ! It’s an office project that the client wanted for her husband, and she also shares the office with him. I had so much fun harmonizing/balancing the design to appeal to both and can’t wait to take you all on the journey to the final outcome! Stay tuned!!🤗

Happy Transformation Tuesday!!

People overlook their powder room until company comes.🫣 It’s the best room to let your creative ideas manifest. It doesn’t have to gel with the rest of the home, so make it pop and wow your guest!🤗

LIGHTING

Nothing has more power to transform a room like lighting in my opinion! It’s more than just picking out a fixture. It’s strategic and being intentional about the temperature, lumens and placement. It has its own story within a story to unfold. Done right, it can elevate any design to another level. I’m intrigued by it and I always stress the importance of lighting with my clients.

When working with Murphy Motifs, know that there is sure to be a lighting plan.😎

Here are a few pics (I have tons 😆) of lighting I was inspired by and love.

Happy Hump Day!! This is what little girl dreams are made of.💗 More views of the

There’s nothing blue about this little girl’s room anymore! Introducing the !!

This project was such a treat to do! And it’s kid approved.🙌🏽💕 A few weeks ago I posted her reaction to the reveal, and it was priceless!🤗

Problem:

The room has an irregular shape to it and made it challenging for traditional pieces to fit. The initial color of the walls wasn’t princess approved and made the room feel like a cave. Storage was also an issue.

MM solution:

We tossed out the full bed, and replaced it with a day bed with built-in drawers. This provided storage and more space to play. We then:
-Brought in a beautiful tufted ottoman for toy storage
-Painted the walls with a lighter paint to help make the room appear larger
-And finally, added in her swing and a bubble chandelier because no little girl’s room is complete without one!💗😉

At Murphy Motifs, we not only beautify, but provide solutions for your decor issues.😊

HAPPY 1st TUESDAY OF 2022!!
Let’s talk about BALANCE.
As an interior designer, I am an expert of balance. It’s the secret sauce to any successful design. It becomes paramount to balance when we are designing a couple’s suite. There will always be one partner who has dominant input on the design, but we must always consider both individuals in the final plan in order to achieve the desired out come for both.

This beautiful, bright but sultry owner’s suite was for the wife. She had full range on all the pickings.🤗 The husband understood the assignment of “A happy wife, a happy life”. Lol! BUT! I sensed he was a little apprehensive about some of the choices. He didn’t say anything, but I was listening to the words unspoken and knew the adjustments to make. I had to balance her love of color with his need for a more serene environment. The end result is a beautiful bedroom that they both can enjoy and love.❤️🤗
