Dining Room Eye Candy!

This image stopped me in my tracks as I was reading through some of my fav blogs! There are so many reasons I LOVE this room! So let me start from the top down. The chandelier is the perfect mix of something big and yet still delicate. The white walls allow the furnishings and patterns to stand out against a white canvas. The french trestle farm table style and chairs are kept modern and bright with the amazing contrasting fabrics on the chairs. What about these leather seats and backs, works perfect if you have kids too! It is just the perfect combination of traditional style made fun and modern and feeling relaxed. Love all the accessories too!

Industrial Glam Office

Gently pushing clients out of their comfort zone with interior decor is one of the many reasons why individuals   look to interior designers in the first place. You may see something that you love perhaps a wall color, sofa, artwork but you are just not sure how to pull it all together and afraid of making the financial investment and not loving the final outcome. Well, decorators like myself also have to push themselves out of their comfort zones and be able to bring to life the vision the client or they may even have even if they are nervous about it. I did that with this design above. Industrial style decor is not up there on my top favorite styles out right now but I do love exposed brick walls and the some architectural elements of it, for example beams, industrial doors and windows etc. So how did I do bringing some glam into this space? I always love to hear your feedback:)

Monday's Musings: Bulletin Boards

the sweetest thank you card, invitation to next weeks BBQ, your little one's newest crayola drawing, this years school picture of your nephew....where do we put all these treasures and reminders? The refrigerator is most people's favorite spot and maybe inside the junk drawer that we all have in our kitchen? Bulletin boards are a great way to consolidate all of these pieces and collectively display them for all to see. I used to have one in my kitchen and it was the first place people would go and check out when they came over, they loved it! Here are some great DIY bulletin board options to check out which may inspire you to give it a try!

Here is my attempt and I am pretty happy with how it came out!

Sorry I have been so absent from blogging these days.......honestly, I have been struggling getting motivated. I have been busy working, hosting and taking care of many other important things that I just can't seem to justify spending so much time on my computer......especially when it is so beautiful outside and all I want to do is be out there tending to my flower garden and soaking in the sun:) I promise to try to strike some kind of balance so I can give my readers something to enjoy! Your following means a lot.......xo
