Modern Bachelor Pad Reveal

This client was great to work with. He already had the sofa and the art work, but no idea which direction to go in when it came to making his space more grown up!

I started with what colors would look good with his already large gray sofa and then looked in the art work and decided to draw off the orange in the background color.  his budget was very tight but we managed to create a new desk area, add additional seating, lighting, tables, even a tv stand with storage (especially to hide those Xbox controllers!)

It turned out fantastic! We stayed within the budget got some great pieces that packed a lot of punch for a little amount of money!

Polyvore Teen Room

I am slightly obsessed with Polyvore these days. I'm working on some ideas for a potential client's shared teen room. I'm not sure if this is what we are going with but my daughter loves it!! And my inner teen girly girl is going crazy, why didn't they have ghost chairs when I was a teen!

DIY Sunburst Ceiling Medallion

We all come across blog posts and think "I am going to do that!" ...and then reality sets in! (At least for me anyways). But I have been eyeing this gorgeous ceiling fixture but just can't justify the 550$!!

Isn't this gorgeous Large Olive Leaf Chandelier

I still need to change the wall fixture to sconces and patch up the holes, sounds daunting just thinking
about it all. Plus we do plan on moving soon.

 Then it hit me, (in an email) this awesome trick from a blog lady I just love over at Simple Details.  I have seen the mirror she used and knew I wanted something similar.

So heres my rendition!

I must have walked past this at Target a million times

Original color is black with gold tips but I always have a can of  Rustoleum Metallic Gold

After a quick spray coat of gold, I hung this beauty up by the twist ties that came in the box where the recessed can supports are !! BAR-GAIN!!!!

I know I need to get one of those fancy cameras to really show off this beauty. I'm working on that soon! But for now I'm super thrilled!

Preppy Modern Sunroom

I can not take the snow anymore!!!!!! I repeat, I can not take the snow anymore !!! So with the help of Polyvore I am creating my own bright and fun sunroom. Just imagine a nice glass of wine and the smell of fresh cut peonies. The windows are open and the wind is warm....ahhh! Enjoy!!

Holiday decor

There's so many blogs out there to begin with and then so many Christmas Decor ideas! What's a girl to do ?? My brain is hurting I could do every room and something different I like it all! But after all I've got little kids and the decorating of Christmas  is fun for them too ,with Popsicle reindeer ornaments and dog friendly spaces! 

With that I wanted to share a couple of my grown-up spots. Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
