We thought some of you might be having Coachella withdrawals so we wanted to show off a (not so little) party we were lucky enough to be a part of at a beautiful private estate in Coachella. Months of planning, and two full days of installing, we have lots of pictures to show off. I have included some before and after to get an idea of how we brought a little {found} to this gorgeous estate….

This is the outside….not too shabby, eh? The front entrance…Before

And After….This living room is absolutely huge. 50’x30′ to be exact, with 30′ ceilings. I knew I wanted to make it as cozy as possible….but that is not an easy task for such a large space…All of the interior furniture was removed which gave us a blank slate to fill up, and cozy up.

Before:

And After: (view from the opposite corner) Before:

And After….                              We wanted the room to feel welcoming and comfortable…which is why it was important to hang things on the wall, add a ton of textures, architectural elements and live plants. And pillows….lots and lots of pillows. Succulents and plants were added to the mantle and throughout the living room as well… Now we can head outside to the gorgeous pool area. We removed all of the outdoor furniture as well, and brought in some custom pieces that we made specifically to create the vibe that our clients were looking for.

Before: And After:

The lights had not been hung up yet, and the towels are not yet placed at the end of the cabana beds….but you get the feeling. I designed these cabana beds and had my dear friend, Brandon (Monkwood) build them out of reclaimed wood. I didn’t just want foam mattresses so I had wraps made that provided a little more comfort and poofiness (yes, it’s a word). It took a while to find an outdoor fabric that I was in love with, but when I found this one I knew it was perfect It complimented the indigo and batik that we used throughout the rest of the property. I reversed the fabric for the coordinating pillows, all of which were made by the one and only Trish, Cottage by Design.

Before:

After:

We also put up all of our reclaimed wood pergolas which helped define spaces, and create a cozy feel… The DJ had his own pergola which we covered with a nice white linen to provide a little shade…Our pergolas are made out of hand hewn beams from a barn in Michigan from 1868…this shows a bit of their age and texture. Pure beauty.  We added shelves to these 2 cabana beds so that florals could be added to the back… Our Morgan tables were used throughout. Paired with our Colton & McLaughlin Barstools.

This is a really cool little area right on the water…

Before: After:

We set up a couple Finn Tables and Graham chairs for a sweet little dining area…I love all of the plants and succulents that Bianca, from Chaparral Studio put together. Everything came together so beautifully. Cozy lounge vignettes throughout… Some Anita rugs, poofs, and indigo pillows on the grass for a little lounging around… Pairing two of the Finn tables together made a perfect dining area overlooking the entire property. Lauren had a brilliant idea to cover the Danni benches with a strip of indigo to add a little color and comfort….so perfect. 

Outdoor fireplace, Before: And After: More comfy outdoor seating… My favorite new couch I had completely reupholstered in vintage batik indigo.

And one last shot of an outdoor area that was set up with our huge Life Guard seats…

I am so grateful for my entire team that worked so hard on this job with me, I could not have done it without any one of them there. And a special thanks to my hubby, Joel, for being there to help with EVERYTHING and take these gorgeous pictures. So blessed.

It may not be a Coachella weekend…..but have a wonderful one!
