Brighter Dining Room and Kitchen

This dining room lacked lighting and the floor plan made traffic flow awkward.  We changed the orientation of the table, added some much needed light, softened the room with fabrics and gave some needed storage.

 Now, it's a beautiful dining room with an overized lantern light fixture and stylish lamps on the mantel.

This window needs dressed!

Now, the radiator has a beautiful cover, the windows are softened with rust-colored silk drapes and natural blinds provide privacy.

The corner of this kitchen is used for reading and hanging out with the family. The sofa looked small and uninspired.

 Now, it is a feature with beautiful linen soft roman window treatments .  Ledges display beautiful family photos.

More seating in a gorgeous combination of colors.

Soft roman shades add color and warmth.

Dining Room Console

Look what came for me today!!

It's a mirrored front console with round convex mirror accents.

I can't wait to get it assembled.

 My husband is my toughest client, but he has the best taste (in women especially)!

I'll post photos when I get it all together.

Savvy Shopper: Demi-lune Console

Either of these would look terrific in an entryway or behind a sofa!

Works in Progress: Silver and Gold Dining Room

Here's a sneak peek at another project:  A beautiful silver and gold dining room.  Grey walls, painted chairs and a gorgeous gold beaded chandelier with touches of black for even more drama. 

It's going to be gorgeous!

Salle de bain to boot

This bathroom is an en suite to the French loft bedroom from last week's makeover.  The homeowners inherited the bright green wall color that overpowered the small space. 

 

Silver dots on white wallpaper tone down the walls, and sparkly accents make it extra-girly.  Did you notice the perfume bottle soap dispenser?  So fun!

Love these 'Ladies on the Go' prints behind the toilet, the sparkling shower curtain rings and the fancy fringed towels.  And you HAVE to see the rug:

Tres Chic!

Special Occasions: Fall Exterior

My family takes an annual beach trip at the end of September and usually, I just let the plants on my front porch die off so I can tear them out for my fall decor.  This year, the weather was cooler and wetter (not so good for the beach) but when I returned, my front door still looked like this:

Now, I'm no green-thumb, but I do not have the heart to ruin perfectly good plants on purpose.  So, I found these plant stand stakes at Tuesday Morning (love that place!) and raised my pumpkins above the still alive plants. 

We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Sarah's Pick Your Own Pumpkins in Madison, VA and I fell in love with these sorghum and millet stalks.  Although I'm pretty sure they were laughing at me when I asked to purchase some (they're used for hay), I think they look beautiful in a fall arrangement.  I know some may say "less is more", but isn't it nice to have such a bountiful harvest?!

Note the orange leopard print rug.  I couldn't resist!

Another Fall vignette on my front porch with pumpkins and lanterns.  I'll leave these out until Christmas.......

And I just have to share.  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.  Eliza had HER house decorated way before I had mine!
