Our Design House Room Reveal!

Elizabeth Boland · Apr 10, 2012 ·

The process of turning this…

Into this…



Has been so fun and amazing! Mom and I are beyond excited for the 2012 DC Design House opening day this coming Saturday April 14th. Today is Press Day so we will be at the house with all the other wonderful designers and volunteers who made this project possible. I literally could do 200 blog posts with pictures of each room highlighting all the talented designers and their fabulous work. It has truly been amazing to see each room be completely transformed. If you live in the DC Metropolitan Area you have to make it a priority to go see this house, at least once. Last week the Georgetown Dish posted a few preview pictures, and since they featured a picture of our room, I thought I would share my Before & After pictures with you today!

 The shell console is located where the oversized linen closet used to be. 
On the left are vintage White House photographs with custom frames. 

If you look closely at the ceiling do you notice anything? This is not an optical illusion, our ceiling is literally that uneven! It took a miracle, slash our talented carpenter Nick, to find a solution for flexible crown molding. 



PS: I wasn’t kidding when I said our space was the smallest in the house 😉

About Elizabeth Boland

I am a wife, Mom, and an Interior Designer. I love my job, and I love the fact that I get to work with one of my best friends. My Mom and I are partners in our Washington DC based design firm, Wilson Boland Design. In January 2010, we opened an Interior Design Studio in downtown Bethesda, which has evolved just as much as our business!

I started Haute Indoor Couture in the spring of 2011 to share portfolio pictures, inspiring ideas, and fellow designers with our clients and friends. I live for Interior Design and I love sharing my passion and enthusiasm with my readers. Most of the content you will find here is interior design, architecture, fashion, or canine related.

    Wow- this is stunning! I love the wallpaper and the addition of all the white. It really pops against the black! I wish I lived closer to see it all in person. And the ceiling is amazing- never seen anything like it!

    WOW, I just found your blog and love everything! Especially the zebra door. How did you do that? Is it wallpaper or fabric? Thanks so much and congrats. 🙂 Sarah

    Hi Sarah,

    The Zebra door is made from two hide rugs upholstered to a board we hung on the door.
