" For a client&amp;#039;s Emerald Bay, California, house, Laurie Alter, owner of Tuvalu Home, was given free rein because there was limited time frame of just two weeks for the renovation. &amp;quot;I called my client to say that in order to complete this on his time frame, I did not have the luxury of time to qualify a selection with him,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;He said &amp;#039;Just do it&amp;#039; \u2014 a true dream client.&amp;quot; Alter and her team transformed the completely empty space in a short period of time. The process included taking care of every little detail, including reupholstering many items, painting the walls, producing custom drapery, and even filling the soap dispensers and putting family photos in picture frames. &amp;quot;The family was scheduled to arrive after my team of 8 worked for two days onsite and I only had to push them back two hours,&amp;quot; Alter says. The result is a bright and cheery coastal-inspired space. See the before and after photos below and shop the looks here.
