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.

Coming Soon

It’s hard to believe we’re nearly a month into 2021.

What a year 2020 was! I think we all just held on tight and weathered the highs, lows and bumps along the ride. I’m so grateful to say that I along with my loved ones weathered the storm without too much damage, but it truly breaks my heart that we went through so much to make it here!

Getting Organized with The Container Store

I’m a newlywed making my house a home with my husband. When I moved in, he had already done quite a bit of decorating in his fairly new home. I was excited that The Container Store wanted to partner with me to begin getting my things in order after moving in. Surprisingly, my clothes didn’t take up as much space as my shoes! If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I am an avid thrift store shoe shopper and my clothes didn’t take up as much space as my shoes!

DIY Desk Makeover

See how I transformed this vintage desk from blah to beautiful for less that $100. This DIY project took only about 2 days from start to finish and now I have a desk that I will use and love for years to come.

My MS Story

Earlier this month, I talked a little bit about the reality of living with multiple sclerosis on my IG stories. I promised I would share more about my personal story, so in this post, I’m doing just that. I’m not gonna lie, it’s a little bit terrifying to share such an intimate part of my life, but because it’s MS Awareness month, I couldn’t let the week pass without making good on my promise. In this post, I share how I was diagnosed with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, how I have been managing it, and what I do to take care of myself while living with this autoimmune disorder.

One Room Challenge // Week 1

I have been keeping something from ya’ll all year and I’m finally ready to share.

I have been dating the same guy for about a year now! If you’ve been reading the blog for a long time then you know that I have been single for many years. When I met “T” he had just moved into the new home that he purchased and it was already beautifully decorated on the first floor (to my surprise!). I actually apologize to him because I assumed that he would have the “typical bachelor set up” of a large leather sectional with no pillows and a huge flatscreen TV with nothing else. What I saw when I first visited his home was far from it, and honestly, that was the start of many pleasant surprises that aided in my falling for him!

Project Reveal: Cozy Breakfast Nook

If you’re not new here, you may remember a transformation we completed last year for two business professionals in need of a living room design they could entertain in.

In case you missed that, you can find out all about it here! We had the honor to continue working in this busy couple’s home by finishing out their breakfast nook area. My goal was to create a cozy space that would serve as a respite before they rush out the door to their demanding jobs. Since we last worked with this couple, they both have gone on to launch their own successful businesses! Being a business owner myself, I can certainly relate to the need to find peace before the day starts, and a breakfast nook is the perfect place to do just that. Let’s look at where we started…
