PROJECT UPDATES #THETOWNHOUSE

I've been gone so long....hoping this works and they have not shut my blog down.....:)

I am still trying to catch up from taking 2 months off....

I am making progress at #thetownhouse.....Rose and I have started giving our projects nicknames so when we are discussing them we know which one we mean haha!

Anyway I have been working on this one for about 8 months and the goal was to take it from boring spec to a more custom look!

All light fixtures have been replaced and the last few happened recently...

This one is over the DR table [from Circa Lighting] .....works nicely with the black onyx table that was in the homeowners family.  It helps to soften all of the stone.

I love how whimsical the bedroom fixture is from Arteriors Home .....hopefully the bed will be here soon so I can put this room together!

This little gem was installed in the stairway....

From Circa Lighting.

To be honest I can't remember what I have shown you and what I haven't so hang with me and hopefully I won't repeat myself too much. #oldpeople

I found an amazing vintage rug for the bedroom.  They brought it over for me to see if I liked it and it's a wrap!  Hopefully I will get it installed next week.

Not too long ago I had the sofa installed but I just stuck the old bedroom nightstands in place by the fireplace until I found something.  Well a very productive trip to Scotts and I found a great french hand painted chest for one side.  Then I headed down to Bungalow Classic and found something for the other side!  If you notice I changed out the lampshades to cream.  They already had the beautiful crystal lamps.

I put a small footstool under the console to beef it up a little.  I am sure I will keep changing things up as I go along!

I am in love with this chest and struggled with wanting to keep for myself but it was so perfect in the room I had to be a big girl and let it go!

This cute little vintage footstool had my heart also......

And last I added a pretty pillow.....

The stripe pillows are from Ballard.

Also the question on where the skinny nightstands came from is West Elm!

OK...it's Sunday morning and Cami is lying patiently beside me waiting for her walk.

Stay tuned on Instagram as I have lot's of deliveries this week.....finally the furniture I ordered 9 months ago is arriving!  Whew!

Happy to be chatting with y'all.....

SCOTT'S ANTIQUE MARKET

Hey kids.....checking in to chat about what has been going on around here!

First of all....newsflash.....Rose and I went to Scott's for the first time in quite a few months.  I always forget how fun it is and I did pick up a few things for a client so it was well worth the trip!

Took a few pictures of some of my favorite things so for your enjoyment.....

I picked this up for a client...sometimes you just need something green.....that you don't have to worry about right!

This booth had 3 tables of vintage pottery in all colors....I just wanted to scoop them up and run.

Pretty linen dishtowels....

I do love some black and white botanicals right!

This darn chest....whoa mama.

Pretty "sea scape" with all that coral.

Love some modern art in vintage frames....how about you?

And....not much I like more than a vintage stool like this!

Nice midcentury chest!

Some pretty planters

And I was in love with this pretty arrangement!

This was the find of the day!  A vintage rattan day bed.  Lord....Rose and I hovered around it for 15 min just trying to think of a client who could use it....

What is better than and old basket with greenery....I say nothing!

Don't get me wrong I did buy a few things....

And I have big plans for all of it!

In other news I am making one of my guest rooms into a designer staging area.  I am SICK of it all being in my living room.  There are always boxes and fabric rolls hanging around so I need a place to handle all that.  And....when I shop for installs....it's craziness.

Before I do that I had to do a little construction first.  These plaster walls were a mess [my house was built in 1946]  with peeling paint and cracks all over and I was tired of repairing.

Real life here.....

And we added insulation as there was none!  That's a little game changer.

Listen.... just empty out a room and you will be amazed at how much stuff you have.  PLUS...there was a bed in there..... 2 nightstands and a chest!

OK....so maybe a few pillows too.  I mean....I guess I have some "splaining" to do.....

New drywall and paint....

So bye bye to the bed and nightstands.  Hello to a room lined with metal shelves and complete organization.  I am giddy with the thought of it all!

I will keep you posted on this situation.

Stay tune for stories on Instagram today as I am over at my townhouse project doing a little installing.....

Have a great weekend!

SCOTT'S ANTIQUE MARKET

Well if this isn't one for the books:)  Posting on a Sunday.  Darn.....who am I?

I am all off kilter here.....

But....in all honesty I decided to wait until after I went to Scott's so I could share with you some of the cool stuff I found.

I had not been in a couple of months.  I know some of you are scratching your head thinking damn if I lived 20 minutes from that amazing antiques market I would go every month.  

Well....it's kind of like living near the beach.  You know it's always there so you don't go that much.

This month it was different as I was looking for some accessories for clients so in that respect I scored!

I saw these chairs and they were amazing but just not deep enough....

I always stop for a big beautiful sunburst mirror!

I picked up 6 of these for a client for an all cream room....gonna be pretty with just that pop of green!

I also picked up these for a clients bathroom....you know me I gotta add that patina!

I really liked this picture and almost sent it to a client but I hit a wall at that point I think....haha

And of course I am always taking pictures of styling for inspiration!

This whole situation below had me giddy!

Rose was proud of me because I wanted to buy this blanket but I managed to walk away.....like I need another vintage blanket:)

This was one beautiful mid century chest in perfect condition!

Oh yeah....this was a little deal for a clients back foyer....just a little styling piece you know!

This pillow....yes please!

And this gorgeous beauty!

Then we ran across these original Heywood Wakefield chairs and Rose bought them for a client! We found them on 1st Dibs.....and she got them all for the price of just one!

  

I always say yes always to pretty pots!

I also picked up a series of these little bird prints for a client:)

And a series of the cool black and white abstracts for another client...... I told you I scored!

Just as I was leaving I saw this cool table....of course I would have to rough it up a little cause it was a little too new looking!

Some amazing rugs......

I picked up the middle rug to try for a client....plus 3 more.

Loved this over-dyed rug!  Beware though....because if you try to clean them sometimes the dye can come off!  Just FYI

This beauty.....

All in all it was a fun day.....had a "slaw hot dog" and chips for lunch also.

So now I gotta go make my bed, walk Cami, do my 4 mile walk and then organize my DR table which is full of piles of paperwork that need to be filed!

Y'all have a great Sunday!
