Client Up-Date


I've been working with a client who has become a friend that I truly respect....

When your working with clients in such a personal way......

you get to know them, their likes and dislikes...
its easy to bond and develop friendships...






I have been very blessed to work with some wonderful women. 






This is just a sneak peak of what I have been up-to and I wanted to show you the pillows that were made for my clients sofa...


We had to put this project on hold for a short time and  we are now just finishing it up...







The before picture of the cabinet in her living room.







This is the after picture and of course it needs to be painted...
We will paint it white...glass will be put into the upper cabinet... 







The before picture of the fireplace. 







This also will be painted white... 










We added wainscoting in the room and in the dinning room...

She decided to take my advise and  put in wood floors which we will start in  January. 

 If you want to see some of the before pictures go here


Thanks for stopping by...

A Fall Table and White Pumpkins



I put this little arrangement together to show you what my daughter and I have been up to..

We have been making these silverware holders for our flea boutique that's in November...

It's been a fun project for my daughter and I to do together.







They're all a tad different...

We took antique round appliques and we put them on the front....









Were selling these runners too.. 










I love using Cinderella white pumpkins for a Fall table-scape.... 











White pumpkins can be mixed with so many different things and look great....

The roses are from my garden, but it would be gorgeous with orange and yellow roses too. 















I also like using black and white plates...

They can be mixed with so many different elements and colors...



























It would of been nice if I would of remembered the candle!


 Oh Well!




I've been so busy this week getting ready for our boutique and I have had a lot of last minute details on clients homes.....

I know...

I have to get pictures to show you...

I'm trying!

 YA...ya... ya....

Less lip and more action! 

Right!

A Bridal Shower




I had a bridal shower at my house on Saturday for one of my daughters friends....
We decorated the tables with white pumpkins, hydrangeas and roses.....




It was such a beautiful day...the weather was perfect!













We also added pomegranates..





All of the bridesmaids...10 of them.... brought salads and breads....they were all so helpful!





They cleaned up all the dishes and put all the tables away...I was so impressed with this group of girls...they were so willing to help... 




My daughter made the sign...isn't it cute? 



The bride and groom to be





This is my daughter with the bride to be...
Then on Sunday I got the flu....yes...the flu!
Shoot...
I'm still in bed trying to recover...
I hope you don't get it...it's the pits!

A Bamboo Dresser



Those of you who have been following my blog  know that I love the look of Bamboo or British Colonial design .








The British Colonial style has a blend of Asian, African and Indian motifs to create the look....







My favorite pieces are when they're painted black.



 







The floors are covered with sisal or reed mats.







It can have a beachy feel







It looks great mixed with blue and white. 









  Or painted gold like this Ralph
Lauren piece.... Ooh La La!









It can be a tad Eclectic.... 










It can be sophisticated and dressed up like this chair by Thibaut's..






 
Or casual!








This is the vintage piece I ran into at the thrift store....she needs a little love and new handles, but she is now mine! 





Do you think it could look like this piece from Noir Furniture?






 If I would of been smart and had the time.... 

I should of joined Linda's One Room Challenge... 

This baby could of been done in 6 weeks and could of been sitting in a redesigned room...

Oh Well....
like they say...next time! 


Check out her blog Calling it home...


All of these items are on my Pinterest Board, Bamboo....it will lead you back to the source..
