New Beginnings Project - April
Please click on the title to leave a comment
Our April project was done in the Five Oaks section of Dayton. Our client was a 32-year-old man who transitioned from a shelter to his new apartment. He had some ideas of things that he wanted in his space, so we worked out design around those. Two of those things consist of a Nipsey Hussle rug and a TV in the restroom.
The Nipsey rug wasn’t part of the plan, so we had to pivot. Then, a week later the rug came in and it was too small for the living room space, so we had to pivot once again. Check out the bedroom images to see what we did with the rug. We also chose to lean into the Nipsey vibe, and bring some other pieces into the decor.
I will break this post down by rooms. Each section will start with a before of the room.
The first room is the restroom. We chose to add another Nipsey image in this room to tie in the theme throughout his space.
We had to pivot in the bathroom as well. Our client was determined to put a television in the bathroom, so that took out the space that we had for the towel rack. So, we screwed draw pulls into the wall, and that gave him a space to hang his towels. Before and after pics below.
The next room is the dining room/kitchen. We utilized Facebook Marketplace quite a bit in this install, and we picked up some good pieces. We purchased the two dining chairs and chose to cover them with an African Kuba cloth fabric. We painted the dining table black and brought in some accessories for the kitchen.
I wanted to bring a nice DIY piece to the living room, so I used a chair that we had in our personal storage unit and decided to give it a try. I purchased a rug from Home Goods that had a nice ethnic feel to it , and decided to use that as the chair cover. Here are photos from that process.
Our client already had a TV and stand in the living room, so it didn’t take much to finish off that space. Thanks to Teresa for creating the Nipsey Hussle Victory Lap quote piece. Our client loves it!
The bedroom is the last space that we needed to put together. This is where the Nipsey Hussle rug that was meant for the living room found a new home. We love it!
This was an amazing project to work on, and we look forward to our next project in June.
