Living Room REdo REveal

I have to say that this living room project was extra fun because I was lucky enough to have help from one of my best girlfriends.  Her real name is Billi Jo, but I call her Billi Zshuzsh...perfectly describing her sparkly personality! 

REcreating this living room was incredibly enjoyable thanks to my partner in zshuzshing!  Hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did creating them...

7 Gray -- The Cutest New Shop in Webster Groves

Seven Gray.

This is the name of the newest shop in Webster Groves...and cutest, in my opinion. 

It is owned by my very dear friend, Kim Barnes.  She has worked endless hours to make her dream of opening her very own home accessories store come to life...and I am one of her biggest cheerleaders.  

I have had the pleasure of helping her, along with many other friends and family, get this party started!!!  It has been a true labor of love...so here are just a few photographs of the shop to give you an idea of what SEVEN GRAY is all about.

From the darling logo (thanks to the amazingly talented Beth Barr at Two Blue Doors) with its' chevron striping, bold colored number 7, and the navy blue bird perched on top...

...to its' coordinating chevron striped drum shade pendants and bold colored front door...not to mention the eye catching home accessories such as red and green bottles of varying sizes, colorful table clocks, retro nesting tables, and torqouise stool in the display windows...

...to its' fun and festive sidewalk planter adorned with glittery twigs, fresh magnolia leaves and bright red berries, custom-made holiday bow, and greenery picks with pinecones and bird nests...

...to its' second level display window that is filled with amazing POPS of brightly colored goodies such as this REfurbished coffee table and REpurposed antique wooded boxes, unique throw pillows, interesting clocks, lighted tree branches, and ornaments galore!

Kick off your holiday decorating with loads of sparkly and glittered Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's goods.  

I will be giving you peeks of what is INSIDE Seven Gray all week...so stay tuned.  

Or even better yet, come give Seven Gray a try yourself...it's a true eclectic mix of old and new.

And just in case you were wondering...Seven Gray is located at 7 Gray Avenue (it's a literal translation) right across from Bristol Elementary and on the side of The Block Restaurant in the heart of Downtown Webster Groves.
