funny puppy.

Had to share these funny pics...

We took the pups to the lake earlier this summer and they loved it!

When we left they hoped onto their blanket in the backseat

and leaned against each other just panting their heads off...

 After about 10 minutes the panting stopped and I turned

 around to see that they had fallen asleep leaning against each other...

precious heads. :) i just love them.

client bedding.

i had the privilege of working with

Alye,a 13 year client, this summer on her bedroom...

she has great taste and is just a precious/happy girl.

i chose a greyed purple for the walls and a combination

of custom/stock pieces from Eastern Accents...

I cannot speak highly enough of ths companies quality.

-excellentay.

We haven't finished the room but I wanted to share...

here is the bedding still in the packaging... 

 we also ordered this bed, and i haven't taken pics since it has been set up but...

 this morning i got a picture text from Alye's mom...she said...

"Alye LOVES her room...and wouldn't leave for

school this morning until her "BEAUTIFUL" bed was made!"

love it! Wonder how long that will last! haha

Master bathroom remodel for a client in Haskell, Texas...

BEFORE PICS:

 BEFORE

chandy that I felt looked cheap/silly...

 BEFORE: itty bitty dated shower

storage get nixed to make room for....

a beautiful spacious shower!!!

Selected Finishes and Concept Sketch...

 More AFTER pics: 

shower details: rainshower head / bench

wall paper removed, walls/woodwork painted,

awkward double doors to W/C replaced with single door,

 all new hardware/fixtures, carpet replaced with gorgeous 20" x20" tile... 

We kept the cultured marble counters to keep the budget down

and I think they turned out looking a okay with everything else updated!

 shower tile close up...

diagonal 6" x 6" above chair rail, 20" x 20" below,

2" x 2" mosaic on floors and ceiling...

i hope this sweet family will be able to

 enjoy this beautiful bathroom for years to come!

client design.

Some super sweet friends of ours are having baby boy number

 three any day now. About a month ago she asked me to put together

a design for their master bedroom. They decided to put new baby

 in the bedroom with them and she was super stoked cause

 that meant that they "had" to do a master bedroom makeover!

They are a super fun family and love bright colors and a contemporary style!

She found some baby bedding on sale at Target that was

lime green/orange/gray...and that was my inspiration for the entire room...

One design element that we decided to work around (for fear of what was behind it!)

was a large wall of mirrors behind the bed...i found the solution was found on Etsy.com...

11" radial vinyl decals that i hoped would make a

statement in the same way a large scale wallpaper would...and at the same time

 would distract from the huge mirrored wall!

 a new rug, fabric to add length and pattern to plain white

 curtain panels, artwork, pillows etc... were all ordered

 and arrived last week! we got together Saturday morning

 and had a fun time putting it all together! 

i think the biggest impact was definitely the mirror decals!

we loved how they turned out!!!

i painted this tree triptych to hang over baby's crib...

 i tried to pull in as many colors from the other
artwork and fabrics as i could...

another handmade piece in the room is this pillow...

 eventually it will sit in an upholstered rocker that has been
ordered but has yet to arrive!
...it is cut out white felt on a solid orange fabric...
super cute and super easy peasy to make!

and this is the last pic I have because my camera died

...typical. i always forget to charge it!

i had so much fun putting this room together for this precious

couple...now it's time for baby boy number three to arrive!!!
