ANYBODY THERE?????

 Well....well....look who's back:)

I have no good reason for dropping off except that one month became two months...and so on....

It's Sunday and I should be working...that is probably why I stopped blogging I guess.  I have 4 renovations going on and Lord...those are a lot of work!  Should be getting to the good parts soon but I feel like I have not had much good interior design to show you....hense maybe I could use that excuse!

I think if you follow me on Instagram that this will be old news!  I am updating a cute lake house here in Georgia up on Lake Oconee.  

Very excited about this one....I had 4 bathrooms to up date and quite a few spaces......

Below is the hallway that already has 1/2 paneling up the walls....so I proposed some neutral wallpaper and a pretty blue/green color below. 

Right off the hallway is a laundry room.  I suggested wallpaper on the ceiling and then painting the walls and cabinets a little bit darker.....

Walking into the front door there is quite a sizable entry with the same 1/2 wall of paneling....

I am thinking the darker color but painting the window and ceiling trim the pretty light blue/green....

She has this Ballard sofa so that will get re-upholstered with some pretty pillows....

I still have a mud room, bedroom, family room, and basement to pull together!  Now you see why I should be working!

We ordered all the vanities online because we want this to done quickly!

Here is one of the bathrooms....

The vanity is from Kohler, the sconces are from Visual Comfort.  

Y'all I hope everyone is getting ready to have a great summer...I will be in the weeds so maybe I can do something fun in the fall :)

Hopefully I can keep this up!

BEFORE AND AFTER POWDER BATHROOM

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!

I scored the frames while I was thrifting....remember there needs to be something old in every space to give it life!  In my opinion....

I could not be more in love with the outcome.  I rarely use a colored mat but I am so glad I went out of my comfort zone!

Here you can see that the mirror has an antique feel to it!

The towel ring is from Kohler and the larger towel is from Target!

Of course where do we get all of out soap pumps....Homegoods!

If you know me then you know I love some texture so I got the kleenex box from Target

And there you have it!  

Powder rooms are my jam and I love to give them a refresh!  Almost everyone see this space.....

Hope everyone is having a great Friday.....I had a big install on Wednesday and I will try to get a post up about that soon....

Love you guys...

AN ALMOST FINISHED BEDROOM

Well I guess I did take a small break....every time I say I am going to blog more I curse myself:)

But hey....I guess that is what old people do...I don't know....but maybe! 

I will be 71 in a little over 3 weeks....yikes!

Anyway....This will be short but I thought you might enjoy a bedroom that is 95% finished except for one big wall that needs something but you won't see it in these pictures....because I can be clever like that....

I worked on this house from the beginning and I might add it is one of my favorite homes.  The light in this house is amazing....

Every darn room is magical.

I have posted some of this room before while in progress....she actually had the rug in a family room in her old house.  She also had the bedside chest so we repurposed them here.  We ordered the bedspread from Amazon.....it has a great romantic feel.

These beautiful Visual Comfort lamps were the perfect modern touch for this space....you know it is good to mix the modern and tradition together.

Newsflash right...haha

I ordered some really pretty Schumacher velvet to make a headboard...again with a more streamlined style! 

And the very pretty Gabby Decor mirror was a nice addition for over the bed.

One of my favorite soft florals from Lee Jofa!

Here is what is really cool....she had these shutters and they were a perfect fit in this bedroom on each side of the window....winner!

She also had the chair and art which also go pretty with the softness of the space.  Another piece of modern furniture with the acrylic console!

In the bathroom we painted the walls BM Coventry gray and she found this rug at Scotts Antique Market....It was the perfect combination of colors!

So I am off to walk Cami....we have been having great weather here in Atlanta but it is not going to last. I am headed to Scott's on Thursday to look for things for an install coming up....
