Looking for living room, dining room and kitchen decor inspiration? Here are before and after pictures of client homes with sources and more.
They say April showers bring May flowers right?
Well friend, I am so ready for those May flowers!!
Here in Maryland we have been attending a lot of lacrosse games for our daughters teams and nearly every game has been in super chilly temps with wind and POURING rain!
BUT?
We got lucky with the weather last weekend when we attended our first University of Maryland women’s lacrosse game to cheer on the Lady Terps!
Such a fun experience for our family as all three of our daughters love lacrosse and look up to these amazing and inspiring collegiate athletes! (Go Emily & Maddie!)
In between being in our busiest season yet of what I like to affectionately refer to as “Kid Jenga,” where we are creatively scheduling and transporting our 3 daughters all over the place and trying to get them where they need to be, when they need to be there…
I have also been super busy helping my Home with Heather clients decorate their homes!
And in fun home decorating news?
I was recently quoted by Redfin in their ApartmentGuide blog in this article, “The Ultimate Home Reset: 20 Ways To Boost Happiness This Spring.”
You can get to the article by clicking HERE or on the image above.
My tip is #10 listed in the article!
Here’s a hint…
Less is MORE! 🙂
Today on the blog, I am sharing with you two real life clients that I have had the pleasure and blessing to work with recently.
I’ll be sharing the before and after pictures of their main floor living areas that I decorated!
So, if you are in need of some home furniture and decor inspiration and ideas, you are going to love these living room, kitchen, dining room transformations and more!
One client hired me to help her decorate as she was going through the process of a kitchen and living room remodel. The other client hired me to help her source and select new living room and dining furniture and all of the decor for her newly built home!
I can’t wait to share with you these before and after pictures!
Plus I am linking as much of the furniture and decor that we used to decorate with, that is still available online!

Let’s see what this living room looks like now…
Follow me friend!
Before & After Living Rooms & MORE
My client reached out to me, while in the throes of a first floor remodel of her main living room and kitchen.
Feeling a little overwhelmed about all of the decisions needing to be made and not really knowing where to start. She was looking for expert guidance and a 2nd opinion as she was weighing options.
What I love about my interior decorating business is that I have created it in such a way that I can come alongside you when you are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated or stuck and help you as much or as little as you need.
In other words?
My services range from initial idea brainstorm session all the way to installation and I can provide as much or as little decorating hand holding and design support as you want!
For this particular client, like most, we started with my HwH Signature Consult that is currently part of my Spring Design Anniversary Special!
Click HERE for details!
After our Signature HwH Consultation, my client decided to opt in for Add On Services, including my personal shopping and concept mood board design services.
Utilizing the collage mood board design add on service, allows me to take the headache out of countless hours wasted on the internet by my client and instead enable her to shop from a custom curated collection of hand picked living room and dining options that would fit perfectly within the scale and size of her rooms.
And now?
After utilizing the mood board service and my personal shopping services..
Her living room that used to look like this…
Looks like this!
Area Rug // Sofa // Swivel Chair // Gallery Wall Frames // Curtains // Curtain Rod // Drapery Clips //
Metal Lanterns on Fireplace // Artificial Trailing Plant //Artificial Lavender Arrangement // Faux Hoya Plant Top Right Shelf // Artificial Plant on Console Table // Decorative Wooden Tray // Small Round Woven Basket With Lid on Tray // Landscape Wall Art // Small Decorative Storage Baskets // Large Decorative Storage Basket
I have linked everything that is available online in the list above and also linked again at the bottom of this post.
Do you love it?
I helped my client select every single thing you see in this room, from the flooring and paint color on the walls to the curtain panels, sofa, tables and chairs down to the updated picture frames and candle holders on the console table.
Once my client had placed online orders for the furniture and rug, she decided to opt in for my personal shopping services.
I was able to personally shop for my client and come back to her home with arms full of shopping bags from Target and HomeSense, where I unpacked all of the small accessory decor and styled it all for her, so she could sit back and enjoy the new view!
We left the coffee table empty because she has two small kids, hence the need for the decorative storage baskets I sourced for her form Target!
Here is the same client’s kitchen remodel!
Before:
After!
Dining Chairs // Woven Counter Stools // Pendant Light Fixtures
Once again, the mood board service greatly helped to save my client time from hours spent scouring the internet for kitchen decor and hardware, as well as the hallway powder room and entryway lighting.
I helped my client measure and make decisions on the size and scale of important pieces within the kitchen design such as the dining table and chairs, dining light, counter stools and pendant lighting.
I also helped her to select the kitchen cabinet hardware, backsplash and countertops.
Brushed Gold Cabinet Hardware Pulls // Gold Cabinet Knobs
Now, are you ready to see the second client’s newly built home and how we decorated her living and dining spaces?
This is what we started with!
Before:
After!
Ceiling Fan // Velvet Ottoman // Lumbar Throw Pillow // Metal Arc Floor Lamp
After Niki’s Signature Consultation, she opted for the add on service of personal shopping TOGETHER!
Yes, sometimes I personally shop FOR you and sometimes I personally shop WITH you, it’s completely up to you!
Niki and I took a field trip to Basset Furniture, where we sourced most of the large pieces of furniture for her new home, such as the pair of glass cabinets, sofa, dining, coffee and console tables.
Next, we set up another personal shopping appointment to shop for small decor and accessories.
Curtain Panels Off White // Gold Curtain Rod // Drapery Clip Rings // Spiral Taper Candles // Gold Candle Holders // Decorative Storage Boxes // Artificial Olive Tree // Accent Swivel Chair
Living Room Decor
Swivel Chair With Ottoman On Sale // Marble Ruffle Bowl
Last but not least, here is Niki’s dining room space before and after!
Before:
After!
Round Neutral Area Rug // Artificial Olive Branch Stems 2 Sets // Gold Console Table // Faux Eucalyptus Stems on Console Table
I absolutely LOVED the process of helping Niki create a sanctuary of calm and peace in her new home and was blessed to read this very kind review that she left me on Google!
