Perspective anyone?


There is nothing more calming when remodeling your home than to see what it is going to look like before its done. Perspectives give you the leeway to make any adjustments you want and to fully understand the scale and feeling of your space. This is just one more reason an Interior Designer is always a great consideration before taking on home renovations.  With that being said, I hope you consider our awesome team.

The Vintage Rocker


We are thrilled to be in the beginning stages of a rock god inspired home located in San Diego. Our client whom recently moved to San Diego from Texas already has a rockin collection of cool historical art and albums. 

Here is a little teaser from the M. Swabb Design team. Much more to come!

The Piano Desk

One of our clients is a musician, he moved into a loft in Hillcrest and requested a cool work space for recording music. 

The inspiration behind creating this piano desk really came from knowing there was a limited budget for the space, we knew we needed to think outside the box. Thankfully, after scouting the perfect piano, we salvaged an automated one for the sale priced of $120.00!!! 

It turned out more dynamic than we anticipated and is now the focal of the house.




Painted Dresser Chevron Style


Recently one of my fabulous clients wanted to give her bedroom a little face-lift. She purchased the New Adams Six Drawer Dresser from West Elm on a whim because she loved the clean lines and it was the perfect size. 

As we progressed in transforming her ordinary bedroom into a stylish, cozy retreat we decided the drab dresser needed that edgy touch. 

Our team was able to come up with an affordable solution by painting the dresser in my favorite contemporary pattern CHEVRON! 

It was such a fun process - everything looks better with a little chevron in the room.

Before



San Diego Interior Designer


When my clients purchased a new home in Rancho Bernardo they were ecstatic for the amount of space their young kids could play in. 

The issue was how to fill that space on a budget and the large rectangular living room was a challenge not only to layout but convert into a cozy stylish space.

Below are a couple before and after images showing the beautiful transition.




Beautiful Banquette


This was such a fun project. My client recently downsized to a small chateau inspired apartment in San Diego so she could spend more time trotting the globe. Her budget was tight and we wanted to make use of the space and lack thereof in every possible way.

With some creative thinking and magical hands we were able to shape-shift her once pub table dining area into a cozy romantic nook. The baskets came in handy making room for extra storage space. I love the thought of her sipping coffee while reading the paper here on Saturday morning.





BEFORE

Before and Afters


I knew when I walked in the doors of this 1910 craftsman home I was in love. I grew up in a Craftsman in Redlands, California built around the same time and it reminded me so much of all the family memories we shared. The character is endless in this home. The owners have lived in it for 40 years, were newlyweds when they moved in and recently celebrated the christening of their first granddaughter.

The transition has been an artistic process. Being that the homeowners have resided in this residence for so long they had quite the collection of one of a kind finds which I love!

We were able to mix in a lot of what they already owned with new treasures. 





All of the mirrors placed on this refurbished mantle have been collected throughout the 40 years of ownership.
