CASUAL TRADITIONAL RIVER COTTAGE

This riverfront cottage in Le Claire provides a weekend getaway for family friends and is a little gem of a spot to take in the views, kick back and relax or entertain after a day out on the homeowners’ boat on the Mississippi River. Small but mighty, these interiors were thought out down to the last detail. The homeowner had a specific design aesthetic in mind, sharing her love of English florals and iconic patterns with Emily via her Pinterest boards and saved imagery. Emily designed custom window treatments, bedding, and pillows, provided furniture layouts, furnishings, artwork, area rugs, accessories, and collaborated with the homeowner to carefully select wall coverings for her bathrooms, master, and guest suites.
