My worlds have collided!!

So funny the turns life takes!  As most of you know, I am an occupational therapist and have been working primarily with geriatrics in facilities and home health for the past 12 years.  Imagine my surprise receiving a phone message from an assisted living facility requesting services from Embellish!!

Here's my latest project:  2 model rooms in a soon-to-be refurbished assisted living community in Front Royal.  Today, I am featuring a semi-private room.  My goal:  to create a comfortable, calming environment that is more home-like.  I hope I met the mark!

This room looks like it belongs in a hospital
Here it is after a little rehab:
Soft cream on the walls and soothing neutrals make this look like a retreat.

Another view:
Removing the curtain, outlets and lighting and adding carpeting really changes the feel of this room:
A seating area:
Little details:
A new, calming place to rest.

I hope to get the opportunity to make more improvements in this space in the future.
Stay tuned!
