50 | Oregon Home But it was the primary bathroom that needed most of the attention upstairs. The clients had wished for a larger shower, more storage and, if possible, two sinks. Pearson delivered all of that, as well as a custom floral tile design on the floor. “Oftentimes when I leave a space, I have an idea what our solution may be,” she says. “We go back to the office and draw out the space like Tetris pieces and just see what we can move around to make the room function better.” The project also included a cosmetic refresh of a powder bathroom downstairs, which Pearson described as “its own little jewel box of a space.” Unlike the white trim throughout the rest of the house, Pearson went with a black ceiling and trim in the powder bath. In a nod to the home’s original charm, Pearson and team went with a new cheeky wallpaper — a modern take on toile — depicting safari animals at a cocktail party. Pearson says the whole project went smoothly, in part because of the collaborative approach she likes to take with her clients. It’s not about Pearson coming up with a design but how she collaborates with clients to tailor one for them. That’s something that this client noticed. “She turned to me at one point and said, ‘You are our design sherpa!’” Pearson says. “I thought that was the sweetest way to describe how we work with our clients. It’s not about us, it’s about them. Our job is to guide them to an end design that speaks to them and their story.” She also attributes the success of the project to the incredible working relationship she and her team have established with the general contractor, Creative Design & Construction, and all of their trade partners. “We all agree that it takes a team to get to the end of a perfectly completed project,” Pearson says, “and we all have so much respect for what everyone brings to the project!" amypearsondesign.com
