DIY Design It Yourself

I think the best gift is one that is made by hand. It may be something from scratch or something altered to have a custom look. This past week I have been taking different glass cylinders (used for candles) and customizing them with vinyl letters and designs. We have all seen vinyl letters on everything these days! People use them everywhere. I am not a huge fan of "wall quotes" but I am a huge fan of finding new places for sticking letters and designs. They can even look like etched glass. Check out the ones I did below!

Uppercase Living! has the awesome etched glass look!

From Study To Dining Room

Many times when putting your home on the market, staging is a must. Converting a study into a dining room can be done pretty quick. In the space below we took a 48" round painted mahogany table the perfect size for this square dining room and added some parson chairs with new fresh natural linen slip covers. Next hanging a chandelier and adding a cabinet from an existing area of the home to create a buffet. Keeping an existing natural jute rug for texture and keeping the windows simple with real wood shutters create a great invitng space for the home!

Keeping Room With Lots of Personality

I have said it before it is always great to work with a friend. It was great to help out when my friend began to build their home. Using great accents and bold paint colors this Keeping Room is a sure hit. Pops of color, great art, and comfortable furniture draws people to the space. Check out the pictures!

More To Come....

Christmas 2009

Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year. I have many memories of how excited I would get year after year when my family would decorate for the holidays. Just the thought of the holidays makes me happy anytime of the year.

Well the 2009 Christmas Season has started!!! Since well about a week before Thanksgiving I have found myself in and out of homes decorating for Christmas. I really enjoy helping out everybody and seeing what I can come up with for the Holiday Season.






Up On THe House Top... This paper house makes the perfect tree topper. It is light weight and just make a hole in the bottom and place it on top of the tree!








Peppermint Pendant! Sometimes there is not really any room to make statement in the kitchen. Most counter space is needed for food prep or serving during the holidays, well think about what you can add to your existing lighting. I took 4 Candy Canes and attached them to the down rod of the pendant then some ribbon and a few other touches and now the kitchen island is holiday ready.
