No, I’m not mispronouncing Valentine’s Day, and this is not my invention! Galentine’s Day is February 13th and it is a day that women can celebrate their friendship and sisterhood by sharing fun memories.

Some like to enjoy delicious food together, share gifts, or even try new experiences all in celebration of their love for each other. I don’t know about you, but I love my girlfriends and we all are stretched thin with little time left to actually enjoy each other. Read this post to learn about Galentine’s Day celebration ideas.

Primary Bedroom Designer VIP Day

I saved the best for last from this Designer VIP Day because truth be told, if I could purchase everything we sourced for this design for my own bedroom, I would! We created a contemporary royal retreat with a sensual emerald green velvet canopy bed as the centerpiece. Our client was overjoyed with how everything came out and you know what they say, “Happy wife, Happy life!”

Dining Room Designer VIP Day in a Day

One of the ways that we serve our clients at McNeill Brown Interior Design and give a lot of value in a short amount of time is our Designer VIP Day. With this service, we spend 6 hours with a client in one day doing a fast-paced session of space planning and selections. Because so many options for furniture and decor are available online, after we have done a consultation to identify what is needed, we can create mood boards that show the overall design with direct links to the products to buy! Typically we only complete 2 spaces during a Designer VIP Day but because Candace has been a client of mine for years and I know her style, we were able to knock out three spaces in just one day! They all came together beautifully and I’m going to share each one with you. Keep reading to see the designs and links to everything.
