Outta The Box!







Debbie and I are still in our "black" mood. We painted this dining room a beautiful gold then painted the ceiling black gloss. The ceiling reflects the light of the chandelier instead of absorbing the light. It is stunning. We'll post more pictures when we get the window treatments up.

It's Hip To Be Square





























Here we have before, during, and after pictures of a half bath. Debbie and I created this tone on tone design based on a piece of fabric which will be a runner for the clients table just outside of this room. We spent several days measuring, remeasuring, taping, painting, retaping, remeasuring, taping.........It was worth EVERY moment. The results are BEYOND WOW!

Drab to FAB!











This was a plain old ordinary bathroom that we totally revamped. We painted the walls a warm gold. We painted the cabinet black. Replaced the dated countertop with almond gold granite and "classed it up" with a BEAUTIFUL vessel sink including a waterfall faucet. Once again we neglected to take a before picture. (We've got to get better with that!) We will be adding a picture of the window treatment soon.

It's all in the staging




This room was a clean slate when we started. We picked out a deep plum color for the walls and added decorative window treatments. The client has wonderful crystal pieces she wanted displayed.

This is just a SAMPLE!


Isn't this beautiful? Debbie has a true talent for flower arrangements. She wanted to create a Tuscan feel that complimented the beautiful painting. Boy did she ever!

From Drab to FAB!

We covered the mats with the strip and cut out two of the flowers to be "photos" in the pictures.
Since the bathroom is small we made a simple box pleat buttoned open.

To add additional personality to the shower curtain we ran a stripe border along the bottom.


We transformed this bathroom by simply adding some fabric. We even made the art using the left over fabric.

Red to Grey After Pictures

Notice the beautiful red vase on the lower shelf of the table.
The accent pillow on the sofa pulls the fabric across the room.

We recovered the chair in the fabric of the window treatments.






Debbie SCORED with the center piece on the piano. It is a beautiful piece of art glass on a stand. Debbie painted the piano black to give additional contrast to the room




Here is the finished product pictures of the previous post "From Red To Grey"

casual elegance







These window treatments are three separate pieces on rings. The challenge of this dining room was to create a formal look without using too much fabric. There are five narrow long windows along one wall. If we had done the traditional formal, to the floor, window dressings the room would have been swallowed in fabric. This design creates a formal feel without being too heavy.

You Gotta Love Silk!




These turned out beautiful! This is a formal diningroom bay window. Check out the fringe.

I mounted these window treatments on tie backs.

Full length window dressing
