Behind-the-Scenes of a Playful & Feminine Seattle Townhome

Among all the excitement of the Pulp Design Studios for S. Harris launch, we had a few amazing installs in March! Today we’re taking you on a tour of a freshly installed townhome in Seattle for a client with exuberant feminine style…

A CLASSICALLY FEMININE HOME TRANSFORMATION

WHO IS THE CLIENT?

Our client recently moved to Seattle from Nashville and wanted to make her new house into a well-designed home that brought her style and personality to life throughout. She has playful, feminine style and loves pastels, prints and a good old pop of color. During our on-boarding process and Splendid Living questionnaire, we learned that our client loves to entertain and host guests, so giving her a beautiful guest room and entertaining spaces was a must!

WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF WORK?

This client moved into a builder townhome, so we wanted to add the style and personality of our client through whole-home furnishings with lighting and wallcovering. Whenever we work on a project where we don’t get to select finishes, we find ways to make the space feel custom and one-of-a-kind through things like the beautiful wallcovering we did in her master or the modern, yet feminine light fixtures.

THE INSTALLS BEGIN!

Our client’s master bedroom had a built-in headboard that we couldn’t demo, so we painted it with one of our favorite creamy whites and added a sculptural headboard to create a fresh, layered look. Problem solving at its best!

This client envisioned her finished space to be the perfect spot to have friends and family over to entertain, but also be relaxing and comfortable for her to enjoy on her own. She loves designers like Rebecca Taylor and Kate Spade, so we wanted to incorporate fashion influences in through jewelry-like light fixtures, feminine textiles and plenty of bright colors. Feminine Home Install18 Feminine Home Install11

We love when we walk into a client’s home post-install and can feel their personality through the style of their spaces. This project was so fun and playful and we loved seeing it come together! Stay tuned for the final reveal of the completed home…

The Making of Pulp Design Studios for S. Harris

What a week it’s been! We’ve spent over a year working on our licensed collection with S. Harris, so to finally share it with the world is an indescribable feeling of excitement. We put everything into creating a collection that would bring Pulp’s style and love for adventure and design to the world of textiles. Because we had to keep each and every step of the process top secret, we want to give you an inside look at our set designs now that the cat’s out of the bag!

SET 1: Penthouse Bedroom Suite

PULP S Harris - Bedroom - Vignette

We designed two sets to bring each textile in the collection to life. Our penthouse bedroom suite was inspired by this vision of Pulp meets Parisian retreat. We really wanted these spaces to exude the style of the individual textiles and collection as a whole — they had to scream Pulp!

A Parisian penthouse suite begins to take shape…

Our second set is the most luxurious and dreamy Moroccan escape that one could imagine. Rich in color and texture, the globally-inspired elements of the collection shine in this space. Before the lounge came to life, it all started with pillows, pillows, pillows…

On a serious note, everyone that worked on the sets was absolutely amazing! The photos and videos turned out so good that it made it extra hard to keep this secret for so long! We feel so lucky to have worked with such an awesome team throughout the entire process.

We can’t wait to share more behind-the-scenes looks at the making of our collection, but for now go check out the fruits of our labor!

Introducing Pulp Design Studios for S. Harris

Pop the champagne because our first licensed collection is here! We are so thrilled to announce the Pulp Design Studios for S. Harris capsule collection. We’ve been working tirelessly over the past year to create this collection and are so happy to finally share what we’ve been keeping so secret…

Pulp Design Studios for S. Harris Textile Collection

It’s a huge honor and certainly an unforgettable career moment to have worked with S. Harris for our very own licensed collection. It’s no secret that Pulp is crazy about both S. Harris and statement textiles, so to have our own line that exemplifies everything we love about interior design is nothing short of amazing! We’ve used S. Harris for our clients and projects for our entire careers and cannot wait to see how our industry friends use our collection in their spaces.

The two dreamy spaces you’re looking at are the sets we were inspired to design with our textiles! The Modern Kismet lounge is a Moroccan inspired space filled from wall-to-wall with our the globally-inspired statement textiles in our line.

The Penthouse Bedroom Suite draws inspiration from a vision of an adventurous Parisian retreat where travel is loved and fashion is key.

First Look at a Modern Mediterranean Laredo Home In Progress

As part of our Three-Step Design Process, we are taking you on a tour through projects that are currently in progress. We love getting to share in inside look at who we’re working with,  why they wanted to hire an interior designer and how we are working with our clients to create forever spaces that elevate the way they live.

Step One: Consultation + Intake

California Farmhouse Before.005 California Farmhouse Before.002

Q: WHO IS THE CLIENT AND WHAT IS THEIR SCOPE OF WORK?

We’ve been working with this client for years on projects ranging from her Lakehouse Retreat to personal office at work. With a busy schedule, she wanted a professional approach to design when she initially brought Pulp on and has been coming back ever since!

Our client called us in to help from the very beginning of this particular project, involving us during her search for houses. We were able to step in and lend our design eye to determine which home was best to create everything she dreamed the completed space would be. This project is a complete renovation, including interior and exterior paint, appliances, reconfigured floor plans, finishes and furnishings. We’ve got our hands full!

Q: WHY DID THE CLIENT DECIDE TO HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER RATHER THAN TAKING THE PROJECT ON THEMSELVES?

Our client has used us before on projects ranging from residential to commercial, so she knows we’ll be able to do the job right, do it well and make it look dang good. This client is based in Laredo so part of why she uses us is our amazing sources in Dallas. We do all the design work and selections in Dallas and have everything sent to Laredo for install!

Step Two: The Design Phase

Here’s where we took everything we learned from our clients at our consultation and intake process and put all that information and our creativity to work for our clients. We started really getting to know who they are, their vision of their home and how they tend to “do life” in each room. Then we started by gathering inspiration from our clients in the form of a Pinterest board and began to collaborate on the design between our offices.

Q: WHAT IS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NEW DESIGN?

This home is going to be a light, fresh home with a taste of California Farmhouse. It’s a Mediterranean house that we’re giving a casual, coastal feel through bright whites, brass, great artwork and a blend of stunning antiques and contemporary pieces.

Q: WHAT WAS A UNIQUE DESIGN CHALLENGE AND HOW IS PULP SOLVING THE PROBLEM?

 The entry of the existing space was really dark. The whole house is brick, so we painted everything white and added these giant mirrors with sconces to brighten the space. The new paint alone was transformative and the mirrors help exaggerate the natural light, making the entire space much brighter.
