BEFORE AND AFTER BEDROOM

I'm pretty sure there is a bed in crazytown waiting for me right now.  I mean..... come spring if I am still standing I want a crown and a proper celebration.

But enough about me.....I'm trying to answer a few questions about the bathroom and foyer makeover on the previous post!

Powder room wallpaper: Waters Edge Dove  BW45070.1

Foyer wallpaper: Thibaut Grasscloth

I don't have any info for you about the stained tile floors because I just told them what I wanted and they did it.  I know it was a stain...that is about it!

I am going to give you a few detail shots from my recent install.  It is not 100% finished and I definitely want to get some professional pictures since I only have these from my iphone.

So let's start from the beginning....

House built in the 70's....huge master bedroom.

Real Estate shot

My job: To cozy up this bad boy and give them a sanctuary while the kitchen, LR and family room get renovated!

Color scheme: soft pretty blues.

Floor plan.....

Sitting area....a place to watch TV and some storage with 2 large dressers.

I know my client/friend....she likes "pretty" and blue is probably her favorite color.  Even better..... that she really does trust me [especially since I have done 3 homes for her over 20 years!]

At first we were just going to get a smaller chest in the space below but with the side bookcases....that would limit the TV size and just make it look like we squeezed everything in there.

So.....another one of those "while we are at it" moments we took out this section of bookcases!

Much better right? 

 And this really doesn't show you anything....but it was all I got.

I recovered this sofa and 2 chairs she already had to use in the seating area....

Both of these had good lines so it was worth giving them new life.

The doors still make me giddy....with the added trim and new Emtek hardware!

Added this pretty trim to the bedskirt and tableskirt....

Pretty Chaise....needs a pillow:)

I think you can kind of get it!  

We still need a piece of art over the sofa which I hope will happen soon.

It amazing what you do with a little paint and new carpet.....OK....curtains and new furniture.....OK maybe with a little accessorizing....but the room did have good light.....so there's that:)

Hope you guys are having a great week....somehow I got another cold [one month apart] weird right?  This one is in the head as opposed to my previous chest cold.  I am back on NyQuil and DayQuil.....didn't I just wean myself from that?

I'm just happy that it's not the flu.  Like I always say.....silver linings.

BEFORE AND AFTER POWDER ROOM AND FOYER

I'm still living off my 15 minutes of fame with my project featured in Southern Home Magazine.  I hope they aren't mad at me for posting all of these shots.....you still need to get the magazine to read the story right:)

I thought I would share a few more of the before and afters with you today....starting with the powder room......

Before of the powder room

This is quite the transformation!

Custom vanity, Circa Lighting, Design Galleria hardware, Kohler plumbing, Mirror Image Home mirror, and Lee Jofa wallpaper.

This is the way the vanity looked after it was installed and painted....yikes I started to panic.  This is not good and I might be fired.....need help fast.

I scoured the internet looking for the finish I wanted for the faux painter and came up with this one....

It gave it some much more depth.....Lord that was close.

I'm not sure I have done a bathroom makeover that I love more......

Foyer before.....

Before

After

We had the Saltillo floors stained dark**, Thibaut grasscloth wallpaper.

**I do not know how they did it!

Right after they were finished....

Rocky Mountain hardware.

Gorgeous new doors, rug, and Circa Lighting chandelier.

I adore this chandelier.....sometimes you just get it right and it was the perfect selection for this space!

There is still more to share....

I can't wait to show you this beautiful bedroom that I just finished on Saturday.....

I had 16 bookshelves to do.  That put my brain into overload for sure.

I'm sharing my new addiction.....sea salt and black pepper Skinny Pop.....  

Of course it's only a reasonable snack if you don't eat the whole bag.

Don't get it.....you will be sorry.
