A Tour of the Den

I have been busy busy sewing and bringing some color to this room. 

There is still upholstry to be done on the bergere chair, a coffee table and a few more accents but I am happy to be at this point!

Do we remember what it looked like when we moved in 18m ago?




Can't wait to show you the project we have planned for this weekend!

One Room Challenge... The Reveal

Thank you again Linda, from Calling it Home for hosting this wonderful bi annual event and opening it up to other bloggers.

I have found all kinds of new people to follow and I am loving the inspiration! 
I need to finish visiting all of these bloggers projects but everyone's everything looks amazing!!!
(click on the above image to go see everyone else's work!)

Can't wait to check out all the other link ups today!
SO proud of everyone!!

We have a few touch up's here and there but I'm calling it.
For example the front edge of the countertops has to be special ordered and I just haven't made it over to the store to do so. 

I also need to grab the main white wall's piece of artwork. 
(I am picking it up today so I will update a picture once I pick it up and get it hung.)

The countertop installation proved to be easier than we expected and the plumbing/sink installation was pretty easy as well.
                               Before:                                                                   After:

The drapes do such a great job of softening the space 
and you can't go wrong with this fabric from Kravet.

Alot of you have asked about specifics of the palet wall. 
Casey purchased the boards at Lowe's and its called hobby board. 


I thought this print from Jones Design Company was precious displayed in here!
 And who can resist this adorable scalloped metal/mirror tissue holder from World's Away. 
It's so perfect!!
I found this tassle a few weeks back at a store on the Collierville square, I knew it was a fun element to add to the room and tie in my love for birds!

I'm not loving the burlap ribbon tie back, but it works for now until I make one out of the trellis fabric.


I am still looking for a runner of sorts for this room and I am not quite sure what we need... 
Maybe a medium sized pattern? 
Dash and Albert indooor/outdoor?


Of course I had to incorporate one of my favorite handtowels with a metallic monogram!

Notice the toothbrush holder on the right? That and the toilet paper holder need to be removed but that is a pretty decent patch job left on the wall so I will address that after the big birthday party this weekend.

And.. on a funny note. I LOVE the fresh look of a bead of caulk. I know.... Im a crazy. haha.

Traditional Meets Modern-client

We have made quite a few strides in a clients dining room.

She already owned the furniture and had already decided on a high gloss navy wall color. 
The color was an Awesome launching point!!

Here is where we are so far.
1. New lighting was key to update the look of this room
2. We "wallpapered" the back of the china cabinet to make the traditional china pop!
3.A modern interpretation of a plate gallery wall. When paired with a traditional gold mirror its a striking contrast
4. A mod cut velvet fabric was used on the seat cushion to incorporate the turqouise color
5. And most importantly a modern print drape.

Here is a look at the other side of the room

What's left?
1. accessorizing above the china cabinet
2. Styling the table and sideboard
3. a rug

And we can call this room done.

My Secret Store


The town I live in has an incredible, one of a kind "warehouse" store. 

Treasures like you will see no where else!!

I actually have been going here for about a year now and people around town act like it is no big deal. BUT let me tell you, to me... well, it is HUGE!!!
.
Take this lamp for example.

Outlet price:$45.00
Candelabra's price:$340.00

And this beauty came home with me.
Outlet price: $45.00
And this one doesn't seem to be a current style. I couldn't find a price for it online.

Gorgeous mirrored chandy.
Outlet price: $275.00
Candelabra Price:$622.00

I think you get the picture. This place is just incredible. 

And from the picture below you can see they have way more than just beautiful lamps and ceiling fixtures. The furniture is to die for!! 

And who is the lady in the pic?? That's my bargain/adventure friend Ash. That lady is up for a day trip with a discount price just about anyday. And she is funny to boot so it makes the adventure all the more fun!!

Can't wait to head back to the store soon to buy some more goodies.
