the saxon inn | deluxe rooms + hallways

2 years ago, I had the honor of doing The Saxon Inn at Alfred University. I worked on the Managers Office, the Breakfast Room, the Foyer, the Executive Suite and the Stairwells. It was an amazing experience. We had been working on doing the rest of the rooms, the hallways and the exterior.

The hallways were the first to be done. They needed new carpet, fixtures and wallpaper. With Alfred being big into the Arts, I did 30 paintings for the hallways. Being an Alum, it made sense 🙂

THE HALLWAYS | AFTER


The Inn has 25 rooms total. We started working on the deluxe rooms. Wallpaper needed to be removed, walls needed painting, furniture needed to be upgraded, linens, cornice boxes, window treatments, sconces, decor… at TON needed to be done.

Being that it’s a hotel, there are different things that need to be done to insure that people won’t steal items. The headboards needed to be attached to the wall, artwork needs to be locked into place, etc. I had an idea in my head for a headboard that I thought would make the room look modern and comfortable. I contracted my step-father (who also made the cornice boxes), showed him my plans, and he made them. A great job in fact. So great, that I had him make a door for Kristen’s office. A wow factor, for sure.

The budget allowed for new carpet or wallpaper removal/paint. Since the wallpaper was outdated and the carpet wasn’t in bad condition, we took the wall route. This also included the trim, which I think made a huge difference going from dark to light trim. We used City Loft on the walls and Snowbound on the trim, both by Sherwin Williams.

HEY THERE, I’M MEGAN

A little bit chaotic, a lot creative and dangerously organized. I design with personality, purpose, and just enough edge to make it unforgettable. Happy clients? That’s my favorite part.

A couple of weeks ago. I asked what I should do instead of wood for the fireplace—and one of you dropped an idea that I immediately ran with. Any guesses what it was? (If you caught my stories, you got a sneak peek!)Swipe to get the full feel for the room. 📷 @jordanlexuscostello #sundayhousecall #freemandigs

Let's talk about summer bedding. Specifically:✨lightweight✨breathable✨not a sweaty tangle of sheets and regretsThis is the Handstitched Cloud Comforter Set from @bollandbranch, and it's exactly what it sounds like - soft, airy, and a total dream to sleep under. No need to wrestle with a duvet cover (you know the fight), because this one is the final layer. Just toss it on and crawl in.I swapped it in as soon as the weather turned and honestly? Haven't looked back. It's that good.Now through 6/26, you can get 15% off with no minimum (!!!) Use code FREEMANHOME — Some exclusions apply - peep their site for the fine print.#LessHouseMoreHome #BollandBranchPartner #CozyWithoutTheSweat #SummerBedding Win

Sunday House CallThis couch has been through it with me — from the store days to my own living room. It’s held up like a champ (seriously, it still looks brand new), and I’ve loved it for a long time. But… I think I’m over it. So I’m calling in backup — you! Agree with me? Or talk me out of it? I want to know what you think. You can scroll through the full life saga here —> #lifeofagreencouch #freemandigs #sundayhousecall

This living room has been through a lot: furniture swaps, rug trials, and more paint swatches than I care to admit. But somehow, it always finds its way back to feeling like home. It’s the spot where we pile on the couch for movie nights, where coffee tastes better in the morning light, and where a lot of my ideas are born (and occasionally forgotten mid-thought).I’m a firm believer that your space should grow with you—not just be a snapshot of one perfect moment. And this room? She’s growing right along with me.What’s the one thing that makes your living room feel like home?#freemandigs #moodylivingroom

This week’s Tuesday Tips (that nobody asked for) is coming to you in a very different form. Totally outside my usual home interior niche, but perfectly on theme for Mental Health Awareness Month.I made this video during a really long car ride—partly so I wouldn’t fall asleep, partly because my daughter was upset about something and I wanted to cheer her up. The things we do for our kids, right?A good friend (you know who you are) swears the world needs to see this.I told her the world would think I’m a moron.So here we are.If it makes you laugh, then great—mission accomplished.And if you do think I’m a moron… maybe just keep that little gem to yourself.#TuesdayTips #NotLikeUs #NeverEnough
