Apparently A LOT of you are READY for a ZSHUZSH!

Right after my last post, Who is READY for a little ZSHUZSH?, I received a handful of emails from friends, clients, and strangers replying that they needed a little help in the "zshuzshing" department!  Here is just one of them...try not to laugh...this client ALWAYS cracks me up!

I have 3 or 4 or 10 projects I want to do this spring. Andy says I can pick one... can you come over and help me?  Please. 

These are the projects I've narrowed it down to...

1.. Entry (Beige walls, needs wainscoting, BLAH)

2.  Change Light fixtures everywhere... EVERYWHERE.  

3.  Our bedroom

I'm leaning towards the entry.... your new entry is stunning.  

Do you have certain days that work better than others?  

Thanks

Meghan

But before I could even respond  to her, I received ANOTHER email from her that cracked me up even more!  Here it is...

And now I need this on my list....My downstairs basement is Webster Orange which is beginning to offend Dillon (11)..... so I'd really be doing it for Dillon.  For the kids... And Andy... he's on the KIRKWOOD school board for God's sake.. we have to change the bathroom.

I shouldn't have looked at your blog.

Love that she is inspired by my blogs...and we already have a date to start working on the "zshuzshing" of her house.

Thanks to all of you who have read my blogs...you keep my busy, laughing, and HAPPY!

Who is READY for a little ZSHUZSH?

Who is ready for a little ZSUZSH?

I am.  

I AM.

I AM!!!

After all, it's January.

Ugh.

Holidays are over.

The sparkle is put away.

Your house looks BLAH.

I get it.

I feel the same way.

So...I got my ZSHUZSH on today and just did a little something MIGHTY to make my attitude and my house perk up!

Take a look...

It wasn't very hard to do...

(I purchased 3 Mighty Hearts from The Mighty Oakes Heart Foundation!)

and took very little effort...

(I screwed my new house numbers to the Mighty Hearts and hung them on little nails outside of my front door!)

but I AM IN LOVE WITH IT!

And the best part of this little ZSUZSHING project is that every time I see it, it reminds me to be MIGHTY and do things I just didn't think I could do.

What project are you MIGHTY enough to tackle...and how can I help?

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!
