"To inspire you to be creative and surround yourself with things you love." This is how I described my goal in my very first blog post in 2016. Wow-wee! A tall order for this project, but with Heidi and Elizabeth's help, I think we nailed it! (Ha..wall styling pun intended.)

I'm referring to a project we did for the Schmitz family (repeat wall-stylers, you might remember them from this post.) Their girls, Heidi and Elizabeth were obvious inspiration, but they surprised me with their own clear vision for their basement wall.

I visited the family's home for an initial consultation, and while gathering color samples and a functionality wish-list, Heidi surprised me when she shared her design ideas: she wanted "white birch trees" and "nature walks" to be our inspiration. I loved it! It was not the direction I was going, but I loved it! With that, we scheduled a photo shoot with this space in mind. Here are some of those photos.
