Inspiring Designers & Exciting Opportunities!

I wanted to take just a minute to share some pictures and information.  Among the people I have had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with, these are a couple that were just really great. I'm sure you know them (or know who they are)

With Suzanne Kasler



 

Her wonderful book with some of my favorite rooms!

With Thom Filicia

His book. He is such a fun, nice guy in person!

Then I was just thrilled when Extreme Makeover Home Edition came to Augusta, GA. What an honor to get to be a part of this great project!! I worked through the night one evening and a little bit another evening. These are some pictures from that. It is a crazy, mad house for sure, but it is great and fun too!!

Ready for them to put me to work in the Extreme Makeover "Uniform"

Article from the Augusta Chronicle- notice her bench at the foot of the bed...

The finished master bedroom

Working on painting the bench- one of the small projects I worked on.

Pretty Powder Baths

One of my favorite rooms has to be a powder bath. Not a room that much time is spent in, hopefully, but it is a small space where your imagination can run wild. You can do a bold color, different finish, light fixture with some extra "bling" or almost anything special. I like to think of it as a little jewel box. A special room - and here are some...

 



This is a beautiful powder bath with a soft glazed finish over smooth painted walls- the wall finish gives the walls depth and dimension without adding texture.











Fabulous Finishes

Sometimes I do finishes that I am just so excited about and want everyone to be able to enjoy them as much as I did creating them!  These are some...

Going up the stairs to the Man Room

These pictures are of pecky cypress wood with a beautiful wash on it.  The finish makes the wood look old and worn, but still shows the grain and character.  This is a game room in a cabin- very masculine, but very handsome!

This is the wine cellar in the same cabin- Amazing!  The ceiling is a faux stone barrel and the walls have an aged plaster finish with stones coming through.  Who wouldn't love this?! 

The window looks from the kitchen into the wine cellar.

Fresh Finish in a Families Kitchen

I have done this same cabinet finish time and time again, but it never gets old.
The great thing is- it looks so different in each kitchen.  Different cabinet design, wall color, countertop color, lighting, etc. just makes it look a little unique each time.  These cabinets looked so great after finishing, so I wanted to share!

 

Now complete!  The cabinet finish was the missing piece of the puzzle after this hard working couple had painted, put up new lighting, had new counters and flooring installed and done a beautiful slate tile backsplash.  Thanks for letting me be the finishing touch!

Long time no blog! Time for some FUN FURNITURE!

I am well overdue for a blog post!  It has been quite some time, and not because I haven't had pictures, information and exciting things to share, but because I am a blog slacker.  I have kept up with facebook (sort of) and been posting more on there.  So... I want to share some super cute fun furniture that I did recently!!  I am totally in love with it all and I hope this precious little girl enjoys her new room!!!

This is it before I picked it up and worked some majic with it!

And this is after!  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!  She has the cutest Lilly Pulitzer fabric going in her room and this is just precious with it!

Ok, so- here is another piece. Not bad before, but so pretty after!

Bright Idea

I'm always amazed at what a difference just a paint color, a new picture on the wall, or the smallest change in a room can make.  New lighting in a space can really make that difference.  Also, having the appropriate lighting for the space can make such an impact!

Spring is right around the corner... Are you ready?

Spring is coming soon!  The way time flies now, I know the birds will be singing and the flowers blooming before we know it.  There are so many projects coming up and things to be ready for... Spring Get-togethers, Masters Week in Augusta, Easter, and the list goes on!  Sometimes a fresh new wall color, some new pictures hung on the wall, or accessories can make all the difference in your house looking undone and being "finished" and ready for upcoming events! Don't dread people coming over- be excited to welcome them in!  A new arrangement or new pillows may be all you need, but it isn't always just that easy.  Let's face it- when you live in your house and stare at it every day, it may be hard to visualize anything being different.  Call for a design appointment soon!  
Also, for those of you thinking of putting your house up for sale- make sure it is market ready!  A few touch ups may be all it needs, and could be the difference between yours and all the others for sale.  Staging, accessorizing, and updating for a quick sale!

Fun Furniture for a new pool house!!

This pool house was newly renovated- and let me just tell you...  It screams summer fun!  It was such a fun space, but just missing something.  So, I jumped at the opportunity to refinish this old tired cabinet- formerly a china cabinet.  New lease on life as a TV cabinet for a fresh, new pool house!  Inspiration was taken from two cute little side chairs in the pool house.  Take a look and see the difference!  Makes me want to repaint almost all the furniture in my house (if only there was time for that!)

Before- this is how it was purchased
