 Rosa Beltran Design: LARCHMONT BUNGALOW TOUR PART 1: MASTER BEDROOM

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2014/10/larchmont-bungalow-tour-part-1-master.html

LARCHMONT BUNGALOW TOUR PART 1: MASTER BEDROOM. Hooray, I finally get to share all the details of my Larchmont Bungalow project with you! The entire house just appeared in the new Fall issue of Rue Magazine. And now it's time to share all the behind-the-scenes details. Whereas before my client felt weird about having that big window onto the street so she kept the blinds drawn all the time, now the curtains hide the blinds entirely. When the blinds are up the curtains provide privacy and daylight all...

 Rosa Beltran Design: JULY'S YEAR OF CHANGE DESIGNER CHALLENGE: BANANA LEAF WALLPAPER!

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2014/07/july.html

JULY'S YEAR OF CHANGE DESIGNER CHALLENGE: BANANA LEAF WALLPAPER! This month's task posed to a handful of designers participating in the monthly Year of Change design challenge was pretty general: simply to spruce up a space at home in need of some attention. As with some of the previous months' challenges, I'm in the odd position of having recently sold my house, making me an interim apartment dweller while I plan and launch the renovation of my next home. And added black mini shades. An impact, right!

 Rosa Beltran Design: DARING WALLPAPER IN THE POWDER ROOM

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2013/03/daring-wallpaper-in-powder-room.html

DARING WALLPAPER IN THE POWDER ROOM. I've got the itch to create a really unique and dramatic wallpapered powder room, and I'm hoping that a new upcoming client project will afford me the chance! I think a powder room is the perfect space to pull out all the stops and do something more adventurous than you might normally do in the rest of your home. Why not! And I know geometric patterns were ALL anyone wanted to see for a while there (case in point: the ubiquitous Kelly Wearstler Imperial Trellis).a...

 Rosa Beltran Design: LARCHMONT BUNGALOW TOUR PART 2: CORAL AND COBALT GUEST BEDROOM

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2014/10/larchmont-bungalow-tour-part-2-coral.html

LARCHMONT BUNGALOW TOUR PART 2: CORAL AND COBALT GUEST BEDROOM. So this guest bedroom is actually the reason my client asked me to decorate her house in the first place. She'd seen a cobalt blue and bright coral orange bedroom. On my website that I'd designed for a past client, and apparently that's what sealed the deal for her. She hired me on the spot, with the sole request that I recreate the same bright and cheerful vibe in her own guest room. And that's just what I did. Here's where we began . For t...

 Rosa Beltran Design: MY HOME TOUR PART 4: THE LIVING ROOM (AND MY LA SHOPPING SOURCES)

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-home-tour-part-4-living-room-and-my.html

MY HOME TOUR PART 4: THE LIVING ROOM (AND MY LA SHOPPING SOURCES). My living room went through quite a few iterations before it reached a point I was truly happy with. Mostly because my design desires and my design budget rarely matched up in my first "fixer" home, and I was constantly trying to make things work because I could afford them, not necessarily because they were my first choice. So if you recall from my remodel recap. Yes, that's the exact same room view. Crazy, right? We demo'd a living room...

 Rosa Beltran Design: MY HOME TOUR PART 3: THE DINING ROOM AND BAR NOOK

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-home-tour-part-3-dining-room-and-bar.html

MY HOME TOUR PART 3: THE DINING ROOM AND BAR NOOK. Next up on the tour of my ultimate DIY "fixer" house is the dining room. Admittedly it's not really a room of its own . I created a pretty open floor plan when I pulled down interior walls and added wide arches between the kitchen, living, and dining rooms. (See my post about the nitty gritty remodel process here. Hands down, the biggest transformation to this space was the addition of tall french doors out onto the garden. Let there be light! I used thi...

 Rosa Beltran Design: FAVORITE WALLPAPERS AND SCONCE LIGHTING FOR A UNIQUE POWDER ROOM

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2015/07/favorite-wallpapers-and-sconce-lighting.html

FAVORITE WALLPAPERS AND SCONCE LIGHTING FOR A UNIQUE POWDER ROOM. We're in the middle of designing a bunch of bathrooms for our various client projects, and one of the fun parts is mocking up the powder rooms to see all the various wallpaper options! I love using wallpaper in a powder . I feel it's a space you can afford to go bold with since it's not like you'll be hanging out in there all the time. I used an iconic palm frond print here. And showed you more of my favorite wallpapers here. Obviously the...

 Rosa Beltran Design: LARCHMONT BUNGALOW TOUR: LIVING AND DINING ROOM

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2014/10/larchmont-bungalow-tour-living-and.html

LARCHMONT BUNGALOW TOUR: LIVING AND DINING ROOM. The grand finale of this house tour is the open-floor-plan living/dining room. When my client hired me onto this project it was because she'd tried her hand at decorating the space on her own and had gotten pretty stuck. She'd made some good, solid design choices like the sofa, rug, and armchairs, but even so nothing felt pulled-together or cohesive. It was a prime example of a space with decent foundational elements, but in major. The built-in bookcase wa...

 Rosa Beltran Design: COLONIAL HOUSE TOUR PART 5: MASTER BEDROOM

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2013/09/colonial-house-tour-part-5-master.html

COLONIAL HOUSE TOUR PART 5: MASTER BEDROOM. The piece de resistance of the master bedroom is this king size linen tufted bed made bespoke here at RBD and modeled after one my clients had admired in the pages of House Beautiful magazine. To keep tabs on the big picture throughout the entire process, making sure that the end result will be well-thought-out, beautiful, and cohesive. Not enough contrast. The only decent option here is that darker grey on the far left, but going with such a deep moody ton...

 Rosa Beltran Design: COLONIAL HOUSE TOUR PART 4: KITCHEN

http://rosabeltrandesign.blogspot.com/2013/09/colonial-house-tour-part-4-kitchen.html

COLONIAL HOUSE TOUR PART 4: KITCHEN. To be perfectly honest my design role in this kitchen and dining nook was not a huge one. That's because one of the dream aspects of this project was that the entire house had already been renovated by a previous owner who actuall y. And chose lovely finishes throughout. This is so rare! Usually a big chunk of budget has to be allocated to renovating outdated rooms, or worse yet, re-doing someone else's recent but horribly ugly reno. The walls went from dusty blue to ...
