design indulgence: beach style

Burrrr…..I feel bad complaining because after all I live in Atlanta not Buffalo and these are unusual weather times. But cold is cold dammit.

It's hard getting in the car with 4 layers on….scarf….hat….gloves a purse and trying to buckle up then take off one glove to operate cell phone…..AND then try to get out after dropping 1 glove that was in my lap on the ground in the parking lot…getting tangled up in the scarf along with ripping the iPhone charger out and forgetting to turn off the car.

Give me summer please.

I have said this before but sometimes while working on a project I become immune to it. I see the work it took to put it together…..but maybe not the finished product. It's only after posting the final images and hearing from all of you that I think "Oh goodie….I did good".

Thanks for the love :)

Here are the final shots.

Before

This is a keeping area off the kitchen. Not big enough for a sofa or anything but perfect for 2 Lee Industries chair 1/2's.

After

The Dash and Albert indoor/outdoor rug will hold up nicely along with the Sunbrella fabric on the chairs!

I took this one before styling….so you could see how comfy these look…big enough to curl up in front of the fire and doze off:)

Before of dining area

After

I used the same rug here also. We decided to just paint the wood chairs to be cost effective and I added 2 Ikea slipcovered parsons at each end.

Cute little piece of art from Scott's.

Before of the foyer

After the Thibaut wallpaper and changing out the light fixture.

After

More vintage nautical art…

It was quite a search for the few items in the foyer. I had to find a really narrow table to fit on the side wall. Since the one I found was painted then I felt like the mirror and planter should be neutral.

Many of you asked about the paint color [which was already there] and I think it is Sherwin Williams Comfort Gray 6205.

I have to tell you how much fun it was working on this project. Every time I asked her about something she said "whatever you think"…..gotta love that right? It made shopping for her so easy!

So there you have it…..guess I better get my butt in gear so I have some good things to post about in 2014!

Busy week with the Mart and Scott's.

Sheriky freaky deaky.

Hello??? Anyone there? I know….kind of fell off the wagon.

I had a routine in Florida of doing…….well nothing :) It was colder this year than normal and a little rainy on a few days.

We ended up getting hooked on a TV series that someone had recommended to me….The Killing.

So much so that after season one [I had bought the DVD] we found it on Netflix and had to finish watching seasons 2 & 3. Olympic binge watching….[Yes you read that right…36 episodes]. I then found out it was cancelled [oh crap] but Netflix saved the day by picking it up and ordered 6 more episodes.

I kind of fell in love with Joel Kinnaman who plays Steven Holder. Hot dude.

Anyway enough about my boring life and on to what is really important…..world peace.

And design.

You guys have been with me on this project and have see updates along the way.

I had some professional shots by Jennifer Kessler taken to showcase the room much better than my crappy attempt.

Here is a before shot
