GLITTER Wallpaper!

Here you go…

GLITTER WALLPAPER as the focal wall in my foyer!

Before:                                                                                      After:

 

Close up:

Cream background with a soft grayish trellis pattern...

My hope was that the red doors would frame the paper perfectly from the doorway and welcome you in a WOW kind of way!  I think it worked.

And notice the how the curved diamond shape pattern on the glass part of the doors mimics itself on the wallpaper?  Love that.

It's always all in the little details…!

Here is a look into the vestibule in between the foyer and the front porch…it is a small space, but could not be ignored.

So…I added a bit more wallpaper with a subtle glitter dotted pattern in an ash gray color.  Love!

Wallpaper is all the rage in home decorating these days…so give it a try!  

You only live once.

(And I can help if you are too scared to try it on your own!)

REveal of the Teeny, Tiny Wash Closet!

Before = BORING.

After = EXCITING!

The ceiling still needed a little "zshuzsh"… so they added crown moulding to finish it off.  

I love how the small detail of the crown moulding frames the stenciled ceiling and really finishes it off!  Gorgeous.

My client wrote me this: "It's paint and hard as heck to do on a ceiling, so don't mind the blurred lines. The website you sent to me said this would happen and I think being black on white really didn't help.... But it's so fun and only paint, right?!?"

I TOTALLY agree…it is SO FUN and only paint!  It looks amazing to me!

So a few months have passed since the stencil was completed…and the clients decided to update the little bathroom even more.  

I got this email just a few days ago..."Ted did the stencil months ago, but then I decided to get rid of the red. Since I am obsessed with supporting my "bravolebrities" I purchased Jeff Lewis paint!! I love him. More pics to come."

And here they are...

Really liked the red, but LOVE the gray even more.

It feels more soothing. 

And bigger!

On a side note, this client pushed me to have the courage to "stencil" my own house!  But instead of using paint, I used an incredible wallpaper…made of glitter! 

Yes, I said GLITTER!  

More pics to follow!

PINTEREST to the Rescue! (A tiny half bath in need of a facelift!)

PINTEREST does it again!

My next client fell in LOVE with this AMAZING and tiny bathroom she found on PINTEREST and wanted to replicate it, but did not know where to start...so she called me.

Here is the email she sent me after chatting on the phone about her "wash closet"...

Rebecca,

So here are a few before pics. Sorry they aren't the best, but keep in mind part of the problem is my bathroom being so small that I couldn't really get a good pic! My 2 1/2 baths on the 1st floor are tiny! So I like to refer to them as 'wash closets'. This one literally is about 7x3. Narrow and small!

I have been wanting to wallpaper the ceiling for some time now to add just a bit of something, but after weeks of looking at wallpaper and really realizing the repeats are too big or too small, I gave up.
Then between Pinterest inspiring me and YOU basically doing the research - I did it. (well really Ted did it)

So I will send the AFTER pics next!

It really is teeny...

Tiny!

Great angle...

The ceiling was a bit troublesome with two can lights and one fan...

Stay tuned for the after photos...they are pretty darn cute!

Sewing Room REveal!!!

TADA!!!

Here is what Emily and I came up with to turn our tiny and awkward space in the basement into her new sewing room!

Emily chose a white for her walls, so the fabrics could "POP" and her art could be seen...thanks Becky Ortyl!

She chose this funky light fixture from Lowe's...it is perfect for over the newly REpainted craft table!

Just some of Emily's fabrics that are displayed by attaching them with a magnet to an oil drip pan that I bought for only $10!  We have 3 of these REpurposed drip pans hung on the walls in this space and they provide great visual impact and inspiration for her.

You can see that the "nook" is now well utilized as Emily's sewing station and is surrounded by everything she loves...including her CREATE letters she bedazzled and her new chair that we REcovered together in a cheerful chevron fabric.

Emily's VERA WANG doll that she sewed by hand in fourth grade as part of a Biography Report she was assigned.  It was a labor of LOVE, for sure!

Labeled file folders with pattern ideas...

Here is her button collection...Emily's Grandy helped her find all the jars at local antique shops and flea markets.  She also has her American Girl and Teen Vogue magazines displayed in clear magazine containers we found at The Container Store.

Her favorite color thread (for now)...

Emily bought this funny yellow parrot lamp with her own hard-earned money from the cutest little shop in downtown Webster Groves, Seven Gray.  She has accessorized it with scraps of bright colored fabric to give it a little "zshuzsh"--I'm so proud!!!

We purchased this darling turquoise bookshelf at The White Rabbit and Emily filled it with all things gorgeous---including ribbon, felt, buttons, glitter, fabric, leather, etc...!

Here is an overhead picture that shows where Emily cuts and irons her creations.  Here she has a skirt with a zipper AND button that her made in her Spools class, a baby dress that she bought for the pattern, and a pair of baby bloomers that she embellished with ribbon and a silk heart!

Here is a turtle pin cushion that the owner of The Fabric Nosherie, Shannon Robinson, made with love and gave to Emily for her birthday...she loves it!

Here you can see the shelving piece of furniture that I bought at HomeGoods.  The damaged top can not be seen, as it has been covered with an old door that I painted and REpurposed as the table top for the sewing station.  The six baskets provide great storage for her scraps of fabric. 

My girl is in her element!

Emily bought this bright yellow fabric at Mood Fabrics in NYC because it was just too "gorgeous" to pass by.  It was pricey, so she is still waiting for the perfect idea to come to her as to what to do with it...

In this photo you can see Emily "teaching" her friend, Tate, the basics of how to use a sewing machine...

By the smile on his face, you can tell he was pretty pleased with himself!  

A special thanks to my friend, amazing photographer, and Tate's mom, Heidi Drexler, for taking all of the photos and capturing the feeling of Emily's sewing new room!  Here's to many more years of creating...!
