Sale Recap and Other Stuff
By Unknown | At 11:22 AM | Label : | 0 Comments
Yesterday's sale was so much fun! It was a crazy day but it was so great to meet Caitlin Wilson and hang out with Caitlin Creer. Thanks to everyone who came. I know it was super short notice so we were so grateful to those who could make it.
I still have a LOT of stuff left over so I'm going to be selling it on my blog next week. Get excited...
In other news I wanted to share two guest posts that I've done recently with you.
The first is some snippets of my kitchen on A Diary of Lovely.
And most recently I did a guest post for Emily A. Clark that I just loved.
I showed some pictures of our old apartment. I CAN NOT believe how far I've come. Crazy. Check it out here!
And finally, I've gotten a lot of questions on the paint color from the bedroom makeover I did this week. It's a kwal paint called plaza.
I hope you are all having a great Holiday Weekend!

Feature Friday: Brightsides
You know those blogs that just make you instantly happy? Well that is how I feel about the blog Brightsides. Amelia is full of optimism and she is also an amazing photographer. Her blog is bright, cheerful and colorful. When asked to describe her style here is what she said:
I would say my design style is: traditional with a modern touch. Less is more in my opinion. Clean lines, and simple, uncluttered rooms always attract my attention.
I was going for a fun, vibrant feel, but comfortable and crisp at the same time (if that even makes sense lol ) for our main living spaces; hence the stripes, bold colors, and patterns. I know I can't afford to re-decorate frequently, so I tend to shy away from trendy furniture, but like to style with a few hip and fresh accessories.
Amelia made that print herself in photoshop. So cool.

She created this did you think to pray? print art in an 8X10 size perfect for easy framing. She's offering it as as a freebie download on her blog today! Print it at home & slap it in a frame!
How cute is that Sarah Jane Studios Print.
Thanks to Amelia for letting us feature her home and make sure you check out more of her blog here!

Bedroom Before and After
When I first saw my client's bedroom I didn't think it looked too bad. She had an Anthropologie quilt and bedskirt that were super colorful and fun. But the bedroom just didn't feel like she wanted it too. She was tired of her old stuff and she wanted something much more peaceful and calm feeling.
Here is the moodboard I created and here is how it looks now!
It's much more serene and peaceful than it was before. There was a tight budget on this room so I tried to make our dollars stretch. The lamps and artwork are from Home Goods.
The headboard was made by my seamstress Erin. The Euro shams are from Pottery Barn and the yellow pillows are done by Erin in one of my very favorite fabrics, Bleeker. The coral pillow in front is to the trade and is from Villa Home. We also changed out the wall color to a much calmer blue.

I have a huge stockpile of fabric that I've been meaning to get rid of as well as other leftovers from client projects. So I'm joining forces with the amazing Caitlin Wilson this Friday for a little remnant sale!
The sale is from 2 -5 p.m. We'd love to see you all there. Email Caitlin for directions to the location.

I hope to see you there!
Client Progress
I am making some good progress with one my clients and I wanted to share what we've been working on.
My client and I searched high and low for the perfect chairs for her entryway. She came across these beauties on Craigslist and we knew there was some potential there.
We went over lots and lots of different fabric ideas but when I came across this fabric for only $5.99 a yard at a local fabric store we were sold! We are still pinching ourselves that we got it for such a great deal.
This picture showed up in my email a few days ago and I was giddy with excitement. My client painted the wood white and it makes these chairs look brand new!
Remember this board? Well things are coming along nicely in the bedroom.
My client also emailed me this picture. Her amazing faux suede blue headboard is in and our bench has been reupholstered in one of my very favorite fabrics.
The headboard was done by Erin from Plush Studio and the fabulous upholstery job was done by Brian Maxfield. He did such a great job!
