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!)
