PROJECT BOULDER BEFORE AND AFTER PART 2






I am beyond humbled by the support in your comments.  You can't imagine how much they all meant to me.  I will share soon but right now it is just too raw to put out there and I don't trust myself not to over share.

There is comfort knowing that people care....especially in a world where there is bullying and meanness all over the internet.

As promised here are some before and afters of the Boulder flip.  This project took 6 months to complete as some rooms were reconfigured.

Today it's all about the laundry room which is pretty epic if you have a small space like I do in my home.

As per blogger regulations....we start with  before:)


You can see it was already a nice large space!


Some of these were taken from the listing as I had to leave and I only had my iPhone with me anyway!


We decided to add the utility station where you can was a dog, or kid :).....or bike shoes.....

I think the floor tile came from Floor and Decor and the overhead lights came from Rejuvenation.  The rugs is old from Target outdoor collection and after extensive searches everywhere we found the folding table at Ikea.  It was a pub table but we cut the legs down!  A deal at 149.00 [or something like that].


When they renovate a house they always put in new W&D and appliances.  The shelving brackets are custom and the shelves are butcher block from Ikea.

Here is a close up of that folding table!!  It already had that black detail on the braces.

I believe that bench came from Overstock a few flips ago.  Of course the accessories on the shelves came from Homegoods.

Just a progress pic....

We also found that shelf unit at Homegoods....

Here is the before of the other direction.  The room on the right had been staged as a bedroom but there was no closet so we staged it as an office.

This Schumacher wallpaper added so much to the space....again we just put it on the one wall.

The Currey and Co rope sconces just looked so cute.  Giddy up.

Just for context....the whole wall opposite the W&D.

And real estate pic of the room set up as a bedroom.

These are the listing pictures as I just could not get good shots of this room!
Desk, rug, and art from Overstock.  Office chair from World Market

I covered this cheap little sofa with a skin and picked up the spice colored pillow at Target.

Got the small table at Pier One and the floor lamp at Ikea.  The 3 architectural ladders over the sofa came from At Home.


So there you have it.  Working with what we already had....adding a few new items....but trying to show people without vision.... how cute a house could look right?

There is more....but right now my brain is working at 50% power....my sister has been staying with me and I just can't imagine not having family at difficult times.  Thanks Mom for having 4 kids.....

Love you guys....

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE SPRING 2019 WEEK 3








How we got to week three so fast baffles me.  I mean "tick tock" right?

Were you all surprised that I was doing something other than black and white?  I mean it would have been so easy just to push that button....and of course right about now I am wishing I had....with mere days left to complete this.....

Any way let's catch up.....Starting with the dining room.  Metrie is one of the sponsors and we went back and forth since the offer was very specific.  I was hoping to do board and batten but that idea got squashed....whaaaa

Then I was going with shiplap but vertical not horizontal.  The only problem was that all the window and door casings would have had to be removed.....much more labor intensive.

My contractor was giving me one day of free labor which is critical since my budget is only 3000.00

After an afternoon pow wow we decided that using primed MDF cut into strips was the best route to go.  



To save even more money instead of going higher [which I wanted to do] we just cut the sheets [4ft x 8ft] in half and it fit on top of the 5 inch floor moulding.  I am nothing if not reasonable about decorating.

It's not rocket science people.....

Especially since I have my broke ass sister hounding me everyday about the budget.....and I mean that in the most loving way sister......:)

The next decision was wallpaper.  I was dead set on brown grasscloth....I think last weeks post even featured it on my inspiration board.  

But.....I had an "ah ha" moment and decided to do a print....I know...."who am I?"



I wanted something pretty [a la Marky Mark] [Mark Sikes.....my inspiration for the space]  so I chose this large scale pattern from one of our sponsors Pacific Designs!


The chandelier above arrived from one of our sponsors Hudson Valley Lighting!  And guess what?

It is from the Mark Sikes Collection.....How lucky am I?  Very pumped about this situation.

Painters came on Tuesday to paint out all the trim in the LR and the DR.



Shutters off and looking nice and bright in there!


In the LR the sofa got picked up Monday morning

Getting covered in this fabulous Mark Sikes stripe from Schumacher who so graciously gifted me.  

Yes I did say MS stripe.....


I am not putting a skirt on the sofa....reminder below what it looks like...




Would have loved to buy a new sofa but this one is my old one and it's a really good sofa....

We took down the shutters....

And the room filled with light!  I am not opposed to shutters but the 2" ones take away 50% of your light!

My friend Rose found this coffee table at an estate sale and decided not to use it..... Whoa what a deal at 49.00!




I am painting it since I already have a dark piece of furniture in the room....and it is not in the best shape....
Although the picture above is from Marks website:)

I have been hoarding blue and white from HomeGoods for a couple of weeks now....


I unwrapped it all on Friday so I think I am good there!

Now here is a good story....I saw this at a flea market about 2 weeks ago but it said NFS and sold all over it so I let it go.


But I couldn't stop thinking about it and was there last weekend and guess what...we inquired about it and he sold it to me for 50.00.  WHAT?????  Yes rub the sleep out of your eyes.....and read that again!



It had a Pier One sign on it that must have been from many years ago!

It's so perfect to go between the 2 windows...






Of course now I need a ton of stuff to go on it:)

Since HG's is right behind my house I cruise it almost daily....




Another haul from HG's

The fabric below is from another sponsor Fabricut!  Can you just picture that bamboo shelf in-between these curtains?  I'm damn giddy!



Dropped them off at Sudi's today who is giving me the "friends and family"discount:)

And that's it for week 3.  I really only have 16 days until the photographer comes....this is real time people and to say I'm stressed is a gross understatement. 

Of course on top of all this I have a client who is having a party in 2 weeks so there is that......



Take a look at the other features designers progress and see if they are panicking yet :)

PIER ONE BLACK AND WHITE EDITION





You know the reason I blog on Fridays is so I can get excited BECAUSE IT IS FRIDAY!!!

Whoop.

It's been a hectic week....so much going on with projects and I can't wait to share with you.

But.....not today:)

You know how we always give the love to World Market.....but today I wanted to give a shout out to Pier one!

I used a Pier One sofa for the Boulder Flip so I thought I would share a bunch of things for under $100.00

Oh yeah....and it's all black and white!  Don't hold your breath for the color edition....hahaha

But first this is the sofa.... which is a nice little gem [ on sale right now].





charger [the ones I used in the Boulder flip], table, stool, basket



Those curtains!  They are embroidered....



All good stuff huh!  Below is a rug I liked [not under 100.00 but would look great with the sofa.  And it's on sale.



Alrighty then....your black and white fix for the week.  I'm off to workout and it is leg day....ugh.

Sherika loves you!
