A Masterbedroom Makeover, McKinney TX Redesigner/Decorator


My friend, Kelly, decided to surprise her husband, Kevin, with a master bedroom makeover for their 10th wedding anniversary. After Kelly and her husband left for the weekend, my assistants and I quickly got to work. We cleared the room, primed and painted the walls, oiled the furniture, and switched the brass ceiling fan with one we found in their daughter's room that had a sophisticated rubbed oil finish.


Prior to the weekend of the makeover I helped Kelly pick new bedding, lamps, paint, and drapes that would suit Kevin's taste and style. To personalize their room, Kelly ordered a vinyl expression from Uppercase Living that says, "To Infinity and Beyond". This is their relationship motto from one of Kevin's favorite movies, Toy Story. We could not apply it to the freshly painted walls, so we taped it up just for the surprise reveal. Kevin and Kelly are thrilled with their new room.
Check out the before and after pictures below and let me know who you would like to surprise!

Coffee Tables with Pizazz- Allen, Plano, McKinney Real Estate Stager

Here are a few of my favorite coffee tables that I have had the opportunity to decorate. All of the tables were decorated with items that I found in my clients' homes -nothing new was purchased!














This coffee table above is made of petrified wood and has great texture and rustic appeal. This homeowner had a collection of decorating books, a vase of bamboo that I found in the kitchen, a fossil that resembles a snail shell and a carved box of wood. I think all of the natural elements are beautiful!

















Here is a traditional coffee table with two bronze figures, greenery, and a very special book.




















This coffee table is decorated with the Fairmont Urn from Southern Living at Home. I added faux greenery and fresh bird of paradise to give it some flair. I really like orange!

















This coffee table has great details. It is decorated with, again, more books to add height to the urn, a silver box and greenery. This look is very romantic!













This is a great Arts and Crafts table. I added round shaped pottery and carved wooden pieces to compliment the table.















This is a simple table with a wood top and iron base. The owner had this beautiful bromeliad plant on a built in shelf. It adds color and interest to the coffee table. The candle stick holder is iron, which coordinates with the table and I liked the tambourines that the home owner picked up while traveling abroad, so I had to use them!

Let me know which table is your favorite. Be one of the first 5 people to reply and you will receive 25% off the redesign services of your choice!
I would be happy to help you decorate your coffee table with your special collectibles and treasures or I would be happy to shop for those special items that will make your room complete!

Staged Homes Sell Quickly- Allen, McKinney, Plano Home Stager

I work with Holly to give me the best opportunity possible to sell my homes quicker. Especially in a stale market like this, agents and sellers alike need to take advantage of all resources available to move property. Any agent that has ever shown a property knows that buyers can get turned off from great homes because they just aren’t staged correctly. We need our sellers to realize that stagers help sell. Marketing your property within the walls of the home is very important. Many agents just list to get listings and are not worried about the time on the market, but for an agent that cares about their clients and wants to move property quicker, there is no better way than to invest in a stager.

Creating a Mood with Color (Collin County, Allen TX decorator)

You have probably heard that painting your walls is the fastest and least expensive way to make a big change in the look and feel of a room. This is true! I wanted to change the "mood" of my master bedroom so I took out my roller and I went to Sherwin Williams paint store and ordered my paint! I took the following photo of my master bedroom before I painted it. The brown walls are warm and rich. When I painted them I wanted a cozy feeling room.




We have lived in our home for more than 3 years and I needed a change, so I painted the walls a soft blue color. The bedding and wall art is the same. I added silver framed pictures of my family and a couple of apothecary jars which hold sea shells. The shells remind me of the beaches of California where I spent many summer days. The blue walls are serene and cool...just what I needed!

As you can see, paint color makes a difference.

Consider painting your walls if:
1. You are selling you home
2. You crave a big change and don't want to spend a lot of money
3. You have purchased new furniture or bedding
4. Your current wall paint is chipped or faded
5. You want to update the look of your room

Whether you are selling your house, moving into a new one, or just wanting a change, I can help you choose the paint color for your walls!

Happy Painting,
Holly Bellomy
