Mantel Face Lift

If you have moved into a new home in the past 10 years maybe more...you should be use to the dull boring plain white/cream mantel. It seems to just get lost when painted the same color as the trim. I just had a recent client who could not vision a glazed mantel, lucky for them they trust my vision and it really turned out great. My first suggestion for any mantel is to paint it another color like black, red, anything different and eye catching but if that is too daring for you maybe you should consider glazing. something that can be done in one afternoon by yourself or a professional. You really can not mess it up and it is easy to create that custom look.

Home Staging

Home staging is the number one need of many of my clients, getting their home ready for sale is key to getting noticed in today's market. First taking a large stair hall and creating a dining room and creating a guest room was the clients request. Take a look below at the finished product.

The stair hall was once used as a music room with a piano. Now with an oval table and four chairs the dining room is created. The central location in the home makes this a great hub for any family.



Double lamps on the bedside tables add some interest to the room.

NEW KITCHEN

Well December did not end so well for me being sick was not in my plans but sometimes it happens. Well in the middle of all the Christmas decorating I also had a great client who needed help with their new home. I really like how the kitchen turned out. We were really able to go custom and work with a great builder and cabinet company. Also notice the great custom open shelves perfect for the family on the go. Offers great storage with everything right at hand.
