Fabric Remnant to Wall Art DIY

Carriage House Interiors, LLCLeave a comment

I fell in love with this piece of linen fabric and immediately saw a masterpiece of artistry in the block print pattern. I decided to frame it. I purchased a poster frame (yes, that lovely gold frame is actually a poster frame from Target) and used Velcro tabs to adhere the linen fabric to a piece of plain white fabric, then I framed it with the gold frame. What do you think? Can a gorgeous fabric remnant become a beautiful piece of wall art? I think so!

Adding live cedar sprigs to my flocked pencil tree for added definition and a touch of green.
The end result
I also added live cedar sprigs to a little faux tree. I love how much better it looks.

Succulent Wall Art DIY

Carriage House Interiors, LLCLeave a comment

I have been working on a new project for a client building a large piece of natural wood and succulent wall art. Finally….we are completely finished and ready to deliver and mount on this baby on the wall. This succulent wall art is going to be the focal point on an accent wall in a new build I’ve been decorating for a bachelor. I like it so much I think I might make one for my own house.

Constructing the frame….
The frame is stained and ready for the succulents, moss and natural wood elements to be added.
The end result……

Fall Decorating

Carriage House Interiors, LLCLeave a comment

I love the onset of fall. It’s my favorite season…. sweater weather, boots, bon-fires, leaves changing, pumpkin spice everything, rich warm toned colors…. what’s not to love? I’ve started decorating my home and front porch for fall. I’m leaning toward the “less is more” simplicity this year. I feel like it gives touches of seasonal vibes while maintaining some elegance.

This Master Bedroom Has The Blues!

Carriage House Interiors, LLCLeave a comment

I’ve been working on finishing our master bedroom. For some reason this is the space that I neglect the most. The rest of the house seems to be a priority and our bedroom comes last. I don’t know why. Lol. I’ve painted the sleigh bed and an accent wall, ordered the custom sign from #qbhome and redesigned the night stands. It’s a work in progress. 🙂 Slowly but surely….

End Table Redesign

Carriage House Interiors, LLCLeave a comment

I found this little end table at Ross and bought it because I liked the lines of the base/legs. But I wasn’t in love with the very plain tabletop so I added a tray as the top instead! I found this sweet, wooden tray at Pottery Barn and it fit perfectly. I think it really finishes off the table and adds some unexpected character! What do you think?

Modified Wine Crate

Look at this beautiful wine box holder! This is for a client of mine. We had been looking everywhere for one of these. I found the perfect crate @homegoods last week and had a friend of mine make the wooden slats to hold wine. He did a great job!
