Wallpaper or Stencil?

Here is the latest REdesign dilemma one of my (favorite) clients has presented me with...read her email below:

...hey!!!  this is the look i am going for in my living room.  change again. yes.  i want to wallpaper my photo wall!!  i am stuck.  help!

I must say that AT FIRST all I noticed about this photo was the NAKED woman above the couch.  Really?

Next, I noticed the bold graphic printing on the rug and the curtain panels....

Then, I noticed all the textures that were EVERYWHERE due to the enormous amount of layering of EVERYTHING (which I do love!)

And, FINALLY, I noticed the subtle pattern on the wallpaper.  

Really, the wallpaper is what she noticed???!!!???  Cracked me up.

Here is the wall that we are REdesigning with either wallpaper or a stencil...I have to REsearch which avenue will be worth the time and/or money.

Stay tuned for the REveal...

This is what the 1960s Swivel Chair looked like before the Redo...

My husband/wife client team ended up choosing this fabric after much deliberation.  This was a compromise for both of them.  Durable and plain-ish for him...and a bit graphic for her.  Good choice, I thought.

After just 3 weeks from start to finish...these chairs were REupholstered and fabulous again! 

I showed my clients how a pillow could easily change the look...

...and add the POP of color that she loved.

This REdo made these old chairs go from DRAB to FAB!

What do you think?

REupholstered 1960's Swivel Chairs!

My latest client wanted to get a FABULOUS pair of chairs from the 1960's REupholstered and asked for my help with the process.  

She was overwhelmed with where to start and how to get the job done.  

I assured her it would be painless...and it was.

Here is a photo of the chairs she inherited recently from her late mother in law.

To make this process as painless as possible for her, I went fabric shopping FOR her and sent her photos from my phone...and brought her some of the samples so she could feel the fabric.

This is the craziest one I found...she loved it, but her husband did NOT!

He wanted plain...

And durable...

On the other hand, she wanted it to maybe be BOLD...?

And possibly neutral with a TWIST...?

Or a bit GRAPHIC...?

Maybe even patterned? 

What do you think they chose for her REupholstery job?

Stay tuned for the REveal...

Goodwill's DOOR to STORE Program

Did you know that GOODWILL has a new program that was created with the intent to help people be able to donate their gently used items...especially BIG ITEMS...with just a simple call to their  Program Director, Sharon Summers, at (314)982-8917. 

The program is appropriately named DOOR to STORE.  The name is a literal translation of what the program does...it takes away your old stuff from your door and takes it (in a big truck) to a Goodwill store and drops it off for you.  

Bam!  

Pretty easy, eh?

Here is what one of my clients donated yesterday from her "door" to a Goodwill's "store":

two gently used club chairs, a leather office chair, two giant area rugs, a heavy sofa...

...two office cabinets...

...and a pretty giant air hockey table!

It was a fairly simple process...and my client was thrilled!

Even better?  

I was the one at her house to meet the Goodwill truck and get the items out of her house and on their way to a new home.  

Easy and done.

Why don't you give Goodwill a call today and donate!?!

It's a WIN WIN for everyone involved.
