Oh my God.....trying to sleep last night was a disaster. 11:30.....12:30.....finally at 1:15 I got up and took a 1/2 Ambian .....at 2:00 I was till awake and I got up and took the other half.
Crikey.
The last time I remember looking at my watch it was 2:30.....so I guess I finally let go. And.... then Cami nudges me at 6:00 cause...well hey Mom I gotta pee and I am hungry.
Whew gonna be a long day. So guess what? I finally have a little bit to share with you today. My friend/builder Michael Ladisic has been renovating his daughters townhouse and even though I wasn't involved with that part I did get the call when there was a shitload of furniture sitting around and people scratching their heads :)
First they had to get the construction cleaned out!
Without getting too wordy on you there were 2 sofas. You can see this situation clearly wouldn’t work . Ahead to the left of where the 2 windows are is the foyer.
Alrighty then.....
I split up the sofas....it is a very long room and the second sofa is really just for over flow seating....
The furniture came from all the roommates moving in so I had a lot of styles to choose from:)
The cushions were being cleaned but we made a big dent that day!
While waiting for the kitchen to be finished I went over last Sunday and we hung all the art....I also took a few pictures and then headed out to Target and Homegoods to see what I could find!
The powder bathroom below got a new vanity and the wallpaper will be going!
Some left over tile and wallpaper from a project.....turned it into a black and white haven!
And after the things were hung.....here is how we left it until Yesterday morning.....
I ended up putting both brown pillows on this sofa. And threw in a Target stripe with them!
Lucky for me I found one brown pillow at Target to take the brown over to the other side.....
This is the TV wall before....
A few books....some flowers and boxes..... done. You might notice we changed out the rug [one of the girls already had it] because we needed the hide for the DR.
I just neutralized it and took the throw off the ladder.
I had the lamp on the chest but moved it over to the end table because it was so crowded!
I was so lucky to find this small mirror at the last Homegoods I went to!
This made a nice drop zone for keys and such!
Before of the bar area....in the kitchen.
Just a little zhushing.....
Lisa found some new cushions for the outdoor furniture and it made such a big difference!
I picked up the rug and accessories at Target.
I picked up a faux plant and some hooks at Target.
The dining room before......
Whew...are you alseep?
Alrighty then.....from not having anything to blog about to the longest post ever....
It's never consistent around here...haha
OK....I actually worked out this morning as sleepy as I was and now I am finishing up this post so I can get to work.....
Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Love it!!! These are the best before and afters, working with what you have. I absolutely love the collected look of it. Just love it! Thank you for sharing the transformation.
Hey Sherry,
I always love what you do. I just do not understand all the green focused art. There must be a story behind that. Does not look like your style. I actually love your style, and sure you have an explanation so i can relate. Otherwise, good job.
Also, pink chair in the living room?
Good stuff!! Some darn good inspiration here. Thanks for keeping it real.
Sherry,
You are amazingly talented! I wish you could come zush my house!
The hide in dining room made all the difference
Anyone.... well not anyone, but most folks can make things look nice with an unlimited budget. But only the very talented can take ‘a mishmash from roommates’ and make a space look this incredible. I am forever awed by your beautiful work.
OUT OF THE PARK AGAIN SHERRY!
your before & afters bring on a game..."what would I do vs what would Sherry do?" you always win

Is this girl lucky or what? She has a dad who’s a builder and friend who’s a designer (the best designer). Lovely, and an inspiration to look at what I already have. I need to remind myself the furniture isn’t nailed down.

You go girl! This is amazing but I expect no less from you! Wow, wow, and wow!
What a wonderful difference you made. I have to ask though...who arranged the cookies in the jar? Makes me laugh!
Thank you for sharing.
Can you share the source for the kitchen cabinet hardware?
Perhaps the island lights, too?
Thank you in advance.
I am a big fan of your blog, and look forward to every post!
Great job with disparate pieces to pull it all together. I second the request for kitchen hardware, especially the finger pull hardware on the dry bar. Just what I’m looking for, but can’t find the length! Love it!
Amazing job - the whole townhouse looks wonderful! But I REALLY want to know is who arranged the cookies in the cookie jar like that - I mean, who does that??? And, without eating half of them!!
So glad that you showed this very good looking townhouse. It's fun to see how you transpose a mess into beautiful function. That cookie jar is a photo bomb just as if your dog was suddenly there!
Your posts are the only ones I never, never skip. What a transformation, and what a lucky young woman.
Is there ANY chance you know name of the sofa (and if it's comfortable)?
Sherry,
It's truly like magic to see the transformation you created. What a huge difference. I bet everyone is thrilled to be moving into such an inviting and attractive condo.
Great job.
Karen
I just read all the comments and all I can say is ditto all of them. You are a genius Sherry, taking a mish mash of stuff and making it look like it was all carefully planned! Love, love, love it! You’re hired!
As always, what an inspiration!! You never cease to amaze. Do you know where the outside cushions were purchased? I NEED. Some!! Thanks always for sharing.
My generic Lunesta is my best friend. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Another inspiring job- just shows you what talent can do with random items
Nicey done as alway!
I've kept this blog entry open on a tab for inspiration ever since you posted it. I LOVE the evolution of the rooms from beginning to end! You are so talented and creative - and I also adore your OOTDs!!
