We are honored and thrilled to announce Barbara Gilbert Interiors has received a Designer of the Year Award from the national Interior Design Society!
We received the first place award for Bath Designs under $30,000 for a glamorous master bathroom remodel. The design of the room was based on our client’s desire for a fresh, updated space with a subtle and feminine palette to reflect her personal style. She was beginning a new phase in her life and wanted her home to reflect her fresh start and new outlook.
We couldn’t be happier with the final result and the fact the design has won not one, but two awards is icing on the cake! The room’s design also won first place in the 2013 American Society of Interior Designers (AISD) Legacy of Design Awards for Bathroom Design last year. Here are all the details of the design and the room’s transformation! [Read more…]

Talk about an amazing Christmas gift! After being contacted by HGTV requesting projects for their consideration in upcoming publications, I submitted two recent remodeling projects. Imagine my excitement when they decided to feature both projects online and interviewed me for all the details!
The first project is a large kitchen remodel in Farmersville, Texas that required the removal of two walls to create the open floor plan the homeowner desired. The kitchen was part of an overall home remodel and, due to extensive construction requirements, took over 9 months. But the end result was so worth it! HGTV chose to title it a “Cook’s Dream Kitchen,” and I couldn’t agree more. Take a look at the before and after.
Before, the kitchen was closed off from the family room and short on function. It also needed an overall update in cabinetry, appliances and finishes.
Now, the kitchen is family-friendly and open to adjacent rooms. It also boasts a show stopping island, timeless cabinetry, deep granite countertops and a butler’s pantry equipped with a coffee station. [Read more…]

It’s an exciting month at BGI! I’m delighted to share that one of my designs has been featured in an international publication: Cheers! Wine Cellar Design, by ArtPower International Publishing.
The book features an in-depth look at 70 unique wine cellars from across the globe and one of BGI’s designs is included. Over 800 color images are presented with detailed descriptions of each project, from wine racks and tasting tables to wine caves and showrooms.
I was contacted early last year by the publishing house requesting permission to include my design in their publication. One of their researchers had apparently come across the design online featured in my blog. Of course, both my client and I were thrilled to be included in the book which has been published in the United States, Europe and Asia. [Read more…]
