Today, I’m dreaming

Is there anything more glam than a Chanel Jacket? This photo, in all of it’s white sparkly glory holds the essence of my dream home…you know, the one in which the kids are all out on their own, the dog is trained NOT to sneakily make her way onto the sofa when I leave the [...]

Bakes and Company

Yesterday, via Facebook, Traditional Home gave us a sneak peak at this year’s Hamptons Designer Show House that will be published in next summer’s publication.

The kitchen, in particular however, really caught my attention:     I think [...]

I am running out the door to meet with one of the first client I worked with when we first moved to Texas FOUR years ago! Time has flown! So since I don’t have a topic today and I have color consulting on the brain, I give you this little pretty: THIS is how you [...]

Getting Back to Normal (whatever that means)

Getting Back to Normal (whatever that means)

This week is going to be one of those weeks in which consistency and scheduling are fighting each other like a Jackson sibling rivalry. With funeral arrangements behind us and family gatherings coming to a close after today it’s time to pay attention to my wonderfully patient clients again and so I will do my [...]

Graphic Walls

Graphic Walls

CoCoCozy

I’ve mentioned before that we are in a constant state of remodeling.  Our baseboards are still leaning against their perspective walls after we tiled the downstairs last January because we know we’re going to be painting so we didn’t want to go to the trouble until that was completed.  In the mean time, we’re just waiting for our painters to have a hole in their busy schedule so we can hire them in to patch the hole in our kitchen ceiling where the old light fixture use to hang before we remodeled the kitchen…the reasons go on and on.

The nice thing about this length of time that has passed is that it has allowed me to really hone in on exactly what I want to do with the colors and patterns in my home.  Right now, I’m completely drawn into the idea of doing a heavily patterned wall in the living room, dining room and probably my powder room.

Room for 2 or 4 or More…

Room for 2 or 4 or More…

via CoastalHome.com

                  I didn’t grow up sharing a room with a sibling when I was a kid.  My sister and I are 11 years apart so I have never really had to share my space but I will tell you that I was slightly envious of my friends [...]

A Return to Creativity?

A Return to Creativity?

thevintiqueobject.blogspot.com

      Like many of you reading, I LOVE the idea of using reclaimed wood and simple industrial materials to create something unique. I find more and more that I’m so bored of traditional “new” items out there in the market place and am drawn uncontrollably to preowned or salvaged materials due to their [...]
