Well I thought I was getting some good pics of some jobsites....but oh how I wish Mr. Camera Man would have taken them instead...or maybe my friend Gigi, she always takes good pics....I need lessons I do believe. Anyway, I have not posted lately because everyone took down their trees and decided to start new projects in their homes, hooray for me! I get to make those dreams come true! This pic is from a client that wanted a space for her teen girls to enjoy with their friends. The colors are khaki, black and hot pink, with a little zebra thrown in. This is the wall that the two chase lounges sit in front of...
You can't really tell but the chaise are done in a tiny animal print...boy wish the pics were better!
We did a new finish on the T.V. cabinet, it was a sentimental piece as it was the first real furniture this couple bought as newlyweds, he even gave up buying a boat for this piece when they were first setting up house! It was a stained wood and had outdated hardware. Now it is black with rubbed down edges and has zebra handpainted knobs on it.
We accessorized with some fun and inexpensive things...picture frames, moss filled baskets of roses...and left room for some of their treasures as well. So fun to take a basic room and turn it into something fun for someone! This week the addition of hot pink silk panels with top flaps made of the zebra print and then tipped with pink eyelash trim will be put in place with a black iron rod with funcky fleur de lis finials ( IKEA is a great source for simple rods and solid color panels that you can embellish with trims!). Well, that was last weeks project, now I am headed out the door for this weeks project...pics to follow! Have a great Monday...a fresh start to a new week! -Sandra
How cute! I can't wait for you to come work on my house. The walls are textured and painted cream. No more blue and burgundy wallpaper!!! Just waiting for the granite so the painters can come back and do the cabinets and walls. I am being very patient. Have a great week.
