Guest Room Update – Painted Ceiling

Last weekend I shared before-and-after of a client's grandchildren's room. I also shared that I was encouraging her to paint the ceiling in this room a lighter shade of the bedspread and the beds themselves a granny smith apple. I went back to her home earlier this...

That 70’s Wedding Shower

This was by the far the grooviest wedding shower I've ever hosted! The bride-to-be was a cool girl, and a great respecter of retro. So when I proposed we do a 70's themed shower, she gave me the green light. Or should I say, the avocado green light . . . Now I've...

I must admit, I have not always been a fan of animal prints - not in fashion and certainly not in decor. But I really like the modern application I'm seeing lately of animal prints. Like the zebra print in this yellow bedroom. If it was the print of the...

Going for the Gloss

If you really want to make a statement in your home, a statement that glamorous, bold, and confident, then you must consider HIGH GLOSS. And it seems like lately, blue is the color to use when going for the gloss. This lacquered entry is quite a statement, no? These...

A Bedroom Makeover In Progress

Gender Neutral Nurseries

Last week, a client asked me to come up with a gender-neutral color scheme for her baby-to-be. Colors that work in gender neutral nurseries include greens, blues, and yellows. Browns and grays accented with an unexpected vibrant color works, too. ...

Blue Velvet, Baby!

I love glamorous interiors. And what's more glamorous than blue velvet? There are lots of sumptuous options if you like the blue velvet trend. I don't watch Mad Men (not yet, anyway), but I swooned when I saw this blue velvet headboard in one of the character's...

Now I’ve Seen It All!!!

I was recently shopping at Graham's Lighting and look what I found! Yes, that's a disco ball in the middle of that ceiling fan. It makes perfect sense that you might need to cool down when you are boogying down. 🙂 Photo Credit: Kristie Barnett...

Color in the Kitchen

Ready for a dose of color? Today I'm sharing some fabulous kitchens with brave color choices. This designer used turquoise on the counter tops, island, flooring, ceiling, and interior of the cabinets. But with lots of bright white to counterbalance, it works. Kelly...
