Design

Recently, I completed an exciting interior design project on a house in North Central. My daughter came to visit from out of state. As she’s a therapist and a writer, she can work remotely. Obviously, I wanted her to feel as comfortable as possible for her work and visit here for my daughter’s visit. So, I set to work on my guest house and redecorated the interior. I didn’t realize that I would make the home interior so well that she still hasn’t left! 

The home is in North Central, which means it is close to everything the Valley has to offer. It’s a great location, particularly for visitors! Here is how I made this home so welcoming that my daughter will (hopefully) never leave.

For the majority of the interior, I went with a stark all-white and black theme. The added feature of a touch of sunshine throughout was a dramatic and bold choice, but it works. It really adds warmth and adds a depth to the home that we just love. 

I wanted to emphasize the welcoming and hospitable element of it, so I chose a pineapple statement feature. The wallpaper here was the foundation of this theme and it grew from there. Pineapple is the universal symbol of hospitality, and I think it works SO well here!

I just love this vintage chandelier. It takes center stage in my dining room and I brought it from the home I grew up in, to this guest home for my daughter. It’s full of memories and I am so happy it is now in this home. 

I am still putting the finishing touches on this home, but I love it already! With its pineapple access, black and white interior, and pops of yellow, it’s the perfect place to entertain. Maybe one day, I’ll put this house on the market! But for now, I love to have a place for family to stay and enjoy the gorgeous Phoenix Valley.
