Client Updates

 I'm working with a client who is the sweetest lady... 
I'm adding accessories and new pillows to her family room....
She is keeping all of her furniture except for one side table.......
These are the fabrics for the pillows and the small brown and white dot will go on her kitchen chairs.....

Her sofa is a large brown sectional...the picture isn't the best...sorry!

This is the fireplace and you can see the walls are a tan, taupe color... which we will keep...

She just had the walls painted... 

We bought this floor lamp and it goes perfect!

This is the other project I have been working on....
its almost done! 
 You can see more here..

We had the fireplace painted white and now have to have a firescreen made... 

Remember the before picture.... 

This is the entry, living-room...the living-room is on the left...
I suggested to put all wood floors in...
it would make such a difference...
It would open the room up and make it look larger....

And this is the cabinet after we painted it and redesigned it...

My client said... 
"this is exactly what I wanted"

A light airy room...

She is so excited to see it all come to life...

That's the fun part of my job....

As a designer I take my clients taste and ideas and  create a home for them...

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving....
We did and yes.... 
I ate to much!  

Fall and Pink Pagoda Blue Bash

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven....

The lyrics from the song by the Birds, Turn, Turn Turn, are taken almost verbatim from the Book of Ecclesiastes, as found in the book of the Bible.

Did you realize that?

It was written by Pete Seeger in the late 1950s.


The only part that wasn't taken from the Bible was Turn, Turn, Turn...



But with every changing season I always think of that song by the birds...

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted..








 

I always think of Fall as a time of pause...

getting us ready for Winter and the holidays! 

But I'm looking forward to soups and stews.....

and all the goodies that go with Fall...

pumpkin bread, apple pie...YUM

The home of Tess and Hans Nelman reminded me of Fall...

Its sophisticated and cozy and has a warm feeling... 

Don't you love that Zebra rug?

What are your favorite things about Fall? 

Warm fires to snuggle by...kids going back to school?

(Inspiration Lane Tumbler) 

I'm looking forward to the beauty of Fall....

The beautiful colors and how nature gives us a feeling of a natural sequence that we might not understand....

There is a balance within the change of seasons...

and 

lets get real....

a great pair of jeans and a pair of comfy boots!

 

The song goes like this....


Turn, Turn, Turn

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, a time to reap that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
