Modern Mansion

Remember how I spent a week in Houston working my little tail feather off to finish a house in 5 days??  Here marks the fruits of my labor y’all…4500 square feet of modern minimalist love all wrapped up in a super eclectic JKID bow.  The client (i.e. my photographer uncle) desired a space that packed as much WOW factor as practical functionality for his teenage daughter and toddler son to frolick about.  Needless to say there were LOTS of toys strewn in every nook and cranny which I relished in the thought of styling since these key pieces inspired the entire color story behind the stark white space. 

 Aidan's luxury scooters/mopeds/bikes fill the living space up with cherry red pops of color...this tiny tot is totally stylin' profilin'...

When staging such a large space, it's always prudent to pick and choose corners to really go all out...Here bold tones of citrus and turquoise help to anchor another super white expanse...

Let the area rug be your guide...Bold jewel tones help to warm up an empty canvas...glass votives in one monochromatic hue helps relax the eye from all the natural light bouncing off the walls...Wooden figurines from Ikea fill up a wall of lit niches in a fun and whimsical way...and they only cost $5/ pop!  Very economical and perfect for your inner artist...I enlisted the kids to help shape these suckers to size!

Use sculptural elements, books, and frames to fill up empty wall space...Here, photo albums of past clients are used as wall art.  It helps prospective buyers to see the multitude of ways they can fill the niches when you've given them some food for thought...

In all fairness, I was given a gorgeous canvas to start with...All we needed were a few finishing touches and some color to keep the kids happy and the photographer inspired.  Hope I did you proud Uncle John!  Can't wait to see how much this beauty makes as a result....I hear the cash cow calling....Ring a ding ding $$$!!

How much do you think a home like this could fetch in Houston??
