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!

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.

Beadboard Backsplash



A beadboard back splash is without a doubt the easiest back splash one could install. It is simple and can add some color and cover up an older back splash that has already been installed. Such as a laminate back splash or an ugly tile back splash.





Beadboard is paneling with a vertical routed detail. Lately it has been very popular in homes and has been incorporated in many Creative ways.

A Calling Card That Measures Up

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Last weekend was really busy I gained another client and will start off the upcoming week with one more. I am always trying to find a new and exciting way to get may name out there. Well I think it is great to use something that really gets the client involved. Most of my clients love to join the hunt when it comes to finding the perfect art or furniture for their space. Here is a great tool to get them started!
Pretty cool and simple!
