Before & After: Master Bathroom

 

I completed the year with another incredible room transformation.

This master bathroom already had tall ceilings and ample room. But what it lacked was color, a useable shower and closet space.

 

Before

 

 

 

Drawing

At first I put their space into the computer to help give them an idea of what their new space will look like.

 

 After

 

We changed their tub into a walk in shower with a frameless glass enclosure. And what use to be their shower into a closet for him.

 

 

These clients decided that it would be best for them if I just picked everything out for them.

 

Which at first was a little nerve wrecking for me- but after a few things started to get installed they couldn’t have been more trilled. So of course that was a confident boost for me.

 

 

 

  

I am very pleased with how this project turned out- and couldn’t have been more blessed to have such wonderful clients.

I am really looking forward to the year ahead- can't wait to make more beautiful spaces for people.

It's A New Year!

 

I wanted to take a minute and wish you all a very happy 2013 and blessings for nothing but the best throughout this coming year.

 

Set goals, read books, travel, make time for loved ones, live happy, buy yourself something pretty, save for a rainy day & enjoy every minute of every day!

 

 

(some good words to live by)

 

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

 

 

 

Trending Now: Polka Dots

 

 Yes, you read correctly. Polka dots!
 

 

This fashion trend is making its way into our interiors-- as they always do.

 

 

Polka Dots create such a bold, graphic statement in your space. Whether it be on the walls, floors, pillows, or your furniture.

So chic

I love the metallic square dots used here.

 

Keep the rest of your color palette pretty simple- to let the dots be the star of the room.

 

Just hits of dots-

 

 

 

Polka dots- add a little something extra to your room. They also give a touch of fun and whimsy too.

 

DIY Tip:

Use your old laundry basket to paint your own dots. So clever!

Trending Now: Rustic Chic

It doesn’t have to be country themed to be “Rustic”, or a complete white room to be “Chic”. Here are some beautifully decorative, elegant spaces that show you just that.

Entry Way

Light and airy

 

Living Rooms

This is probably one of my favorite styles at the moment.

The spaces are so warm and inviting.

 

 

Kitchen

I love the combination of white cabinets and dark floors.

 

Dining Room

Mix & Match

 

 

You will notice each space has beautiful chandeliers- which really adds to the chic-ness.

 

 

Just by incorporating a few things seen in these photos, you can achieve this very same look.

Thrifty Thursday: DIY Burlap & Lace

 

Here's to another week of thrifty crafts.
The other day I got the idea to wrap some of my pictures frames in burlap and some in lace.
(I spray painted them awhile ago and didn't do the best job. So I needed a way to cover it up.)

 

Items needed:

Burlap

Lace

Scissors

Hot glue gun & glue

Picture frames (any sizes)

 

Cut burlap and lace into 1"- 2" strips, the length of the yard.

Then just wrap around the frame.

I used a small amount of hot glue to secure the strip to the frame.

Do this all around the frame until you are complete.

 

 

 

Adding a bow (like I did) or flowers would be a super cute way to dress them up a bit more.

 

Happy crafting!
