Buffalo Home & Garden Show 2013: nikkiMdesign's concept for the white room challenge

For this years Buffalo Home & Garden show, seven of Buffalo's finest designers are competing for the best designed 12x12 space. 
Our inspiration had to come from this vintage travel poster, which is an advertisement for Annecy France, a holiday destination. 


We couldn't help but fall in ♥ with the idea of a long distance love relationship between a young french woman and a young american man who was vacationing in France when they met. Though their time together was brief, their love for one another burns strong.

Small Budget Redesign: Dining Room redone Modern Vintage

nikkiMdesign brings new life to this dated dining room, creating a light and airy, modern vintage space to be enjoyed by the entire family.

Before, the bar height table and chairs were too heavy for the room and could only accommodate six people which made it difficult to entertain a growing family and friends.The stenciled vine looked dated and the room was difficult to navigate.


After. By removing the large table and chairs the room instantly becomes more approachable and inviting. The new table expands to accommodate up to twelve people and its lower profile gives the room a spacious feel. Using a soft white on the walls brightens the dining room and creates an airy atmosphere. Soft yellow on the ceiling and punches of yellow used throughout the room balance the white and bring color to the rooms palette without becoming overwhelming. The vintage modern look is achieved with the style of the refinished 1920s table and re-painted chairs, the framed embroidered artwork and antique mantel mirror, and the use of clear glassware gives the space a light and modern feel. 
Total spent (under budget): $879.25

Window Treatments

Window treatments are statement pieces. They set the mood and impact how we feel in a space. Comfortable, breezy, elegant, formal, unusual...whatever the style, they are an important element to the overall design of a room. Window treatments help to insulate interior rooms from the cold, create privacy, absorb sound, and help to protect fabrics and floors from sun damage.

White sheers set against the bright green walls and green print shade create a breezy and fresh feel to this space.

Historical or period homes sometimes require something other than an upholstered look. Raised panel shutters are a great way to honor the timeless age of a home.
