Simple, yet stunning!


A row of windows may seem difficult to "dress" but simple clean lines can add that dash of color to polish your room while still keeping a clean, soft line. In this breakfast area the client has a bank of windows with beautiful custom woodwork surrounds. Without impacting the woodwork or the view SMD was able to top off these windows with a cohesive look that catches the eye without overpowering it.

Truly stunning, warm and of course, Simply Marvelous!

An Entry With "Ooomph!"


The entry of your home or business sets a tone of welcome to your guests. The entry way or entry room is the first glance, that all important first impression, your home (and thereby you) make. At Simply Marvelous Designs we are inspired by the "feel" you want your home or business to reflect and work to create that atmosphere in your entry.


This photo reflects a formal but comfortable home where family and friends alike gather to celebrate, snuggle or just spend time together.


It was very important to the client that the large custom windows not lose their sweeping view so the grand, granite topped console was carefully selected to ground the room while still keeping the view intact. A one of a kind custom ottoman creates extra seating while also serving double duty as a coffee table thanks to the beautiful hand painted tray that rests on it.


A custom faux fur throw, table runner and lush pillows coordinate with the window treatments and other furnishings to tie the room together. Additional touches include the marble faux finish on the two columns, to scale decorative pieces such as the grand candle wall sconces and of course special family photos in casually ornate frames.


This Simply Marvelous entry says "welcome" indeed!
