A ski themed room, for my 9 year old son, is starting to come together. Poor kid- I work on his room between projects and it’s been in transition for quite some time. Lol. He loves skiing so I “pointed out” a few places we like to go during ski season. 😀 Photos of the completed room will follow….later. Lol.
Fall Is In The Air
I just love Fall- the smells of baked goods, pumpkin (everything), the beautiful colors of the leaves changing, the cooler weather, gathering with friends and family and having a stronger focus on all that we are grateful for.
Nothing says Fall better than pumpkins! I also happen to have a slight problem with my love for (and collection of) throw pillows and blankets. I change out all my throw pillows every season (I’ll be honest- I change them whenever a new color or pattern strikes me too). I love the painted pumpkin pillows I’ve seen in designer stores but haven’t been fond of the price tag! Eek! So, I decided to take a crack at painting my own pillow covers. I wasn’t sure how they would turn out. But they had a sale on linen, zippered pillow covers at Hobby Lobby so I grabbed a few to try painting my pumpkins. Tell me what you think! 🙂 I can’t wait to use them, but I’m holding off until September 1st to start decorating for Fall! 🙂
British Pub themed basement bar
This is an Inspiration Board for a design job I’m doing on a new build. They want their bar to have a British Pub feel. I’m excited about this one! Stay tuned for more photos and updates on this project! 🙂
Staging a Small Master Bedroom
We used a light an airy color pallet to stage this very small master bedroom. Choosing the right colors and furniture placement can make a room feel more open and spacious. Using a pop of color with accent pillows, and a little green with a potted plant, can give a room some needed warmth and character.
Warming up a Cool Kitchen!
It's all in the details! Sometimes something as simple as an apple can add that needed color or dimension that a space needs to feel "right". I love the cool tones of this kitchen but the island needed to be warmed up with a pop of color from green apples! 🙂
Poppy Red Details for a Master Bedroom
A master bedroom with a pop of poppy red! I love the organic Pottery Barn duvet.
Staging in Black Forest Reserve
We had the opportunity to stage a beautiful home in Black Forrest Reserve last week. It was a unique home with a ranch style layout on a few acres in the woods. Check out the concrete floors and Pecan cabinets!
“Going Glam” Girl’s Room Preview Via Video
Here is a video that helps you see the room from a different perspective than photos themselves provide.
Update on the “Going Glam” bedroom design
I'm almost through with this bedroom design. I will install a ceiling fan with a chandelier light fixture as soon as it's ready. I think the chandelier will be a show-stopper! :). Here are some photos of the room so far. Enjoy!
