Project Sneak Peak

I'm so excited! I recently received the pictures back from a photo shoot Jessica Kettle did for me a few weeks ago of some rooms I finished. I'll hopefully be sharing one of the projects this week or next. 

Get excited... 

also thanks to Jenny for featuring my living room on her blog today! 

E-design Before and After

My cute client Holly came to me with a living room that was in desperate need of some life. It also needed to function as a living room/foyer. She needed some kind of surface for keys and other odds-and-ends. 

Here is the before. 

She sent me this as her inspiration picture.

We both liked the earthiness of the room. We wanted to capture this room but on a much tighter budget. 

Here is what I came up with. 

We decided to solve the problem of the lack of an entryway by using this nook in her room for a console table. She had another sofa there before because she wanted seating. So we swapped the sofa for two  chairs.  She also painted tone on tone stripes in the nook. This is like a fun little surprise in the room. 

Erin made us some beautiful chevron draperies. The ikat pillow is from World Market. 

Holly was a dream to work with. This room goes to show that small updates can go far!

Ta-Da!

Guess what! My powder room is done! Finally. If you follow me on Facebook then you saw a sneak peak a few weeks ago. 

 I feel like it's been a long time coming. Back in May I posted a few different options for wallpaper. Thank you to Walls for the wallpaper. They had such a great selection it was hard to choose. I finally decided to go with Thibaut Serendipity. I love it. 

I also received these two beautiful flamingo prints from Eastwitching. The picture frames are from Pottery Barn. 

One day I will replace the light fixture above the sink. I just haven't found the perfect thing yet. The faux bamboo mirror was a downeast find. It's originally from Williams Sonoma home. 

My husband bought me this seahorse toilet bowl cleaner for our anniversary. I'm probably one of the only people in the world who would get excited about a toilet bowl cleaner as an anniversary gift. It's really cute and it goes really well with the bathroom. 

So there you have it!! Thanks for all your help in making the final decision on the wallpaper.  

Etsy Roundup Brought to You by Autumn from Design Dump

If you read Autumn's blog you know how sophisticated and classic her style is. But I also love how she manages to add fun and whimsy to her rooms. These picks represent her style perfectly.

Feature Friday: A Little Glass Box

Today I am featuring the home of Courtney Schutz. She has a great eye for design. I love the eclectic feel her home has. Here is how she describes her style:

My style would be comfortable, partly traditional, and eclectic. We are a household that is ever changing. Between moving, having our little Olly Tate and our 2 waggly tailed friends...adaptability is key. I always approach style looking outside the box. I am not afraid to try anything because it can always be re-done. I am a diy fanatic and a sale shopping fool.  My favorite part of decor is feeling that the house embraces me and makes me feel at home. 

Enjoy! 

Thanks so much for sharing your home with us Courtney! 

Enjoy Black Friday! I am going to try and stay in my house and avoid the craziness.
