Playroom Preview and Fresh Flowers!

Lindsey, author of Better After, was so kind to feature the antique settee that I recently had reupholstered for a client project. Chek the post out here and tune back in on Wednesday when I will reveal the entire playroom project where this settee was center stage! Here's a sneak peek...

And before I leave this morning, I have to take a moment and talk about my sweet husband and his thoughtfulness. He sent me beautiful flowers at work yesterday for our anniversary, and as always, they made my smile and were just a simple reminder of how lucky I am to have him in my life. He is my best friend, a great listener, a hard worker and just an all around passionate person in all that he does. He is simply amazing! Thanks, Collin. I love you.

Bright Beginnings: Office Sneak-Peek

As I mentioned in a June post here, I have been working on an office renovation project. The office space is actually that of my family's business, and I have an office as well. The project is not totally complete (that post will be coming soon I promise), but the light fixture that I ordered for the bathroom came in and looks amazing. It is the Lantern with 3-light cluster from World's Away, and once I decided to go with the Antonia Vella organic-inspired wallpaper, I knew this fixture would be perfect! Don't you think it's a keeper?!

And since I've given you a look into the bathroom of the office project, I will give you a sneak peek into some other areas of the space. Keep in mind, not all furniture and fixtures have arrived yet so there is not much to really show right now. And speaking of not much to show, this business really makes you patient. I have been waiting on some shipments for over 2 months now! Anyway, enough about that...here are some of my favorite pieces.

Jonathan Adler Large Bird Bowl that I posted about here

Table with limestone top found at a local interiors market

Custom lumbar pillows out of one of my favorite fabric lines - Romo

I'm anxious to see the final project but am extremely pleased with it so far. An updated, refreshing office space is so close I can almost taste it!

I Spy...Cane Back!

I had been looking for the perfect chairs for a project, and when my eyes landed on a set of 6 cane backs in a local antique store, I couldn't pass them up. I knew what I wanted but just couldn't seem to find the look...until one day I got lucky...they found me!

The chairs will surround a stained wood meeting table and offer a traditional twist to a fairly modern space. I can't wait to recover them for the project (although I'm entertaining the idea of leaving the original cloth on the seats), and I'll definitely post pictures once they are installed.
 
While on the subject of cane backs, I have posted some additional pictures of a few that I love. The element of the cane blends so well with many styles and offers such sophistication to a space. I just love them! 
 

First 2 photos: The chairs!

The photos were taken with my phone)

Happy Friday!

 

Office Renovation Project

I am working on an office renovation project for my family's business - of which I will be sharing office space on a part time basis. It is a complete makeover (much overdue!) and really coming together. Needless to say, I can't wait for the final product. I will post some "before and after" pictures once the project is complete - but for now - you can get an idea about the concept from the collage above and the plan below.

Hope you are having a Happy Tuesday!

Floral Fever

I've really been enjoying the nice weather lately, and I can't help but notice all of the beautiful blooms around town. Flowers always make me smile, and they make a great "happy" or surprise for any occasion - a simple hello, good luck, get well soon, thinking of you or thanks... the list goes on and on.


Below I've posted some of the floral arrangements that I have done or received in the past to brighten the home, to let someone know I'm thinking about them or for special occassions to spice up the table. Enjoy!

These last 2 photos are a before (left) and after (right) of the springtime arrangements at my front doors. The Super Bloom is really working!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend so far!
