March 2024

I am stuck sitting in my office while my cleaning people are here....so I thought I would share a few things with you!

Last weekend I was invited to a beautiful wedding and it was pretty amazing! I have to say that my client did not leave out any details!

I was in a bit of a dither about what to wear and I posted a dress on Instagram that I had ordered from Zara. It was a stretchy little number and I was definitely thinking that it would be OK but then at the last minute I pilled out a vintage Saks overcoat which was right below the knee....

It turned out to be perfect!

I mean it was only 35.00....which is quite the steal!

Then a friend of mine offered me her vintage Chanel clutch and some earrings! Boy was I nervous...I asked her if they were insured but she said not to worry....what? Of course I worried! The whole night I was checking the back of the earrings to make sure they were secure!

I was going to wear the open toe sandals but my closed toe shoes were actually more comfy so I went with them! I had some vintage clip on shoe bows that I thought would make them a little more stylish...

These are my shoes and I found these bows on Etsy....I also found some on Amazon so get yourself some:)

I also dug out this velvet bow from probably 20 years ago because I was on a roll.....

Here is a pretty picture of the back of the brides dress....so pretty!

And the cake...

She draped the whole room in this fabric....I wish I had taken more pictures! The band was exceptional!

And there you have it!

Before the wedding I zhushed a few things at her house....

She had this black chest at the end of a hallway....and I had it custom stenciled.....with a new larger rug! It was a game changer.

And...I did a little accessorizing in her daughters bedroom....

Nightstand before.....

And after!

Last thing was adding some fresh flowers which always make a space shine!

Alrighty then....cleaners are done so I am off to walk Cami....

Somebody emailed me to say she missed my blog.....I miss it also.

So I need a wife to do all the things that take up my time now so I can get back to what is important:)

I have had a few small installs and one of them was this powder room....

Yes...she was a tad bit dull...just your basic builder grade bathroom. I was excited to make this room special....

Here is my board after I decided what the heck I was gonna do!

Let's talk about the good parts of this room:

1. I did not really have to undo anything....as it was pretty much a blank slate!

2. The paneling was already there which I was really happy about!

I had been looking at these Josephine Munsey wallpapers and fell in love. This one seemed perfect as it had a neutral background and after looking at some colors I decided on SW Analytical Gray to use as the color for the vanity and the paneling.

In the beginning I was almost thinking to change the countertop and possibly faucet but after some thought I knew I could make a bigger impact adding other things to the space.

The paneling was painted and the light fixture went up and I knew she was going to be a stunner. If you have tall ceilings this fixture from Visual Comfort is wonderful! It comes in a single, double and tripple and I have used it quite a few times.....

I also ordered one of my favorite mirrors from Currey and Co which I knew would be good because it has silver tones and would go nicely with the faucet.....I don't think all the metals need to match!

I picked up the small watercolors from Vickie Sides at Scott's Antique Market before I even started the project cause they were so pretty and then "bam" they were perfect!
