Coastal Cottage Design

Hi YA All... 
 You would think that I was from Texas...
Just practicing...it doesn't take much...if I'm around someone with an accent...I'm talk-in like them within 10 minutes...
Its a little embarrassing..

I'm going to Round Top this year to shop for clients and I'm going with girlfriends...
I've been dying to go and I'm very excited to do so....
But, for now I've been shopping for one of my clients getting all those last details ...
Their style is casual and beach-ie...which I love!
 I needed a few more pieces of art and the painting above and below were done by my brother. 
I'm hoping they will like them. 

You can take a peek at there house here, here, here, here and here....it might be a little out of order...

( Artist, Jeff Hebner)

We already hung this on the dining room wall and it looks great....

My client loves primitive art so we will be adding a few of these.

We started with this fabric by Ralph Lauren

These lamp shades are from Ballard..aren't they cute?

This one is so darn fun!

The shades will be going on this chandelier...

We bought this one for the entry and it will be installed this week..

The sconce is back ordered and hoping we will get it soon...

Love this floor lamp for the living room, but its back ordered until July

This is another option and the one below..

Hopefully two of these will go in the dining room on the same wall as the bird with blue and white plates...

I'm looking for a pot like this...

I have to finalize a dining room rug and here are a few options..

We bought this blue and white rug for the the living room...
Which one do you like?



On a personal note...

My father died in July and now my mother is on Hospice...
Its been a tough road losing both of my parents so close together.....
I want to thank all of you and my clients for being so patient this last year. 
I haven't been able to post as often as I would like. 
I will try to be as consistent as I can during this time...
Thanks for your patience!
Julie

Clients Wainscoting

I survived the O.R.C. and I'm so glad things are back to normal....
It was a great way to get my family room done....or at least for now! 


I wanted to share an up-date on the project I'm working on...its been a lot of fun...
The colors and the fabrics are some of my favorites....
The Ralph Lauren in the middle is for the dining room chairs and a pillow for the sofa...
The blue fabric on the right and the stripes are also for pillows...
The red leaf pattern will go on two chairs in the living room and the blue fabric at the top left will be for an ottoman..

The white fabric with the leaf print will be for  drapery...

This and the one below are before shots...we took the wall down behind the chair.

This is what it looks like now...we have a new chandelier coming..its from Aiden Gray...
I can't wait to see it!

The entry way piece will be painted the same color as the walls and go into the living room.
 I wanted it to look like it was a built in display area..

This is what the entry way looks like now

This is the living room and part of the entry way piece that will go against the wall....we took the doors off so my client could display items.

We added a window above this one...it lets in so much light and now balances with the other window.

New window...

Inspiration image

We are using this chair but stained in a dark walnut...almost black.

This will go on the chairs...the wood floors will start this week and the furniture has been ordered....were just hoping it will be done for Christmas..
Our fingers are crossed!

Clients Living Room Rug...

Hello everyone....hope you had a wonderful weekend.....

we had a great weekend with friends....

and

I'm so excited about these rugs by Jaipur... 

they go perfect with my clients living room....

they are made out of wool and they are gorgeous! 

They are from the Highlanders collection

I like the sample on the top right the best....

the sample on the bottom is OK...but I'm not sure until I see it in my clients home....

which one do you like?

These rugs are beautiful too...they are from the Himalaya Collection

they are a natural jute mixed with a soft fabric weave...and they are soft to the touch....gave it the old foot touch!

Some patterns have color weaved through that are available in the same collection...
you can see a peek of the blue in the next image......

Do you notice that the one gold fabric and the rug have the same pattern....


I love when that happens.... 

when it all comes together....

We have started to order our furniture and the fabrics for the pillows....

cant wait to see everything together....


I got a little out of order with my posts....

I try to post every Monday and Friday...but this week I will post next Monday..

hope to see ya then...
