When our Seattle client purchased a 1980s home set in a gorgeous tree-filled property, she asked us to help her modernize it with new furnishings. But she was so thrilled with the results that she decided the home needed a bigger and more modern upgrade, so she asked Pulp to come back for a renovation. We created an innovative redesign that transformed the home into a stunning “modern treehouse” that has a warmth and an edgy elemental style. Let’s take a tour! Entry Pulp believes you should set the tone and mood for the home right in the entry. So we started with an homage to the trees outsi ..read more

The Pulp team loves to add as much functionality to our clients’ homes as possible. And one of the biggest solutions with the smallest footprint is stools! No matter which room (or outdoor space) that we put one in, it offers a lot of look for its size. We love stools that can also stand on their own (get it?!). The two we used above have such a beautiful shape that they can function as the secondary seating in this living room. One of the smartest places for a stool is under a console table in a hall or living area. They tuck away when they aren’t needed, and can quickly be pulled out fo ..read more

Bathrooms are one of Pulp’s favorite rooms to design – we love the mix of function and beauty in these spaces. For a modern look, we’re using more floating vanities, too. Here are a few of our best “float room” examples, and why we’re obsessed with this style! Double Float For a lakeside Seattle home (above), we wanted the primary bathroom to feel connected to the outdoor spaces. This double floating vanity continues that sense of air and space for a modern oasis. Adding Space In smaller bathrooms like the one above in a high-rise Seattle condo, a floating vanity opens up the room, making ..read more

Pulp projects range from new builds to renovations to requests for furnishings and finishes. For this transitional project in the Dallas University Park neighborhood, we were called in by a fellow interior designer who had started the project, but wanted Pulp’s help. It’s so hard to design your own home when you’re the professional (the Pulp duo can relate!), and she loved our aesthetic. So this project was about taking the design over the finish line. Let’s take a tour! ENTRY The house has an open plan filled with gorgeous natural light. Pulp loved the light wood floors and the white surfa ..read more

When those all-important life changes happen, Pulp has been lucky enough to have our clients bring us back to update their homes for new chapters. We had designed a lovely guest bedroom for this Highland Park project in Dallas when our clients found out they actually needed a nursery! So we gave the room a chic makeover that is now the perfect space for a bundle of joy. Let’s take a tour! The small vestibule just outside the door sets a chic tone, which we wanted to continue into the new nursery. The only thing that changed here is the view into the bedroom! We loved the quiet palette we ..read more
