We grabbed a blanket, some yummy chicken nuggets, fruit & milk and sat with the ducks under a tree at a local park. We soaked up the sun, blue sky, green grass & trees and colorful flowers & nearby playground.
Here are some “Spring” images to celebrate a beautiful day and a special lunch date!
The ceiling and walls of this Kitchen were painted by artist Michael Dute.
I adore the colors and whimsy of this Sunroom. I especially love the painted jute rug.
Our Living Room opens up to our Sunroom and our goal (and another {big} item on our To Do List) is to turn that into my office. The thought of it makes my heart skip a beat.
Interior design consists of so many fabric samples, trim samples, drawings, catalogs, paint samples, colored pencils, magazines, design books and paperwork that doesn’t end.
I dream of storage.
I dream of an inviting space that evokes design and imagination.
I dream of color and symmetry and comfort.
I dream big!
I love adding an antique, something refurbished and of course something personal to a space to add a touch of interest and to make the space your own!
Now that Spring is upon us, we hope to be getting out more and spending our Saturday mornings shopping at Estate Sales, Flea Markets & Garage Sales for fun finds. As I purchase new items I’ll share them with you & hopefully we’ll come across some items to refurbish and I’ll take you through the process!
In our home on Princess St we have incorporated many “finds” into our decor.
Above Bella’s crib we took images from an old Cinderella book, with beautiful illustrations. I framed six of the images and grouped them to tell the story.
I love this antique cake plate that I received for my birthday one year. It mixes well with my inexpensive pink cake plates from Target!
This old box sits on our Living Room shelf, along with antique jars filled with dice, marbles & stones.
I also love these two urns …
Another great place to search for fun finds for your home is Craigslist! I found a set of four French chairs for a steal!
Two are upholstered in the original green mohair & two I reupholstered to coordinate with our Master Bedroom.
(I would like to take this time to introduce you to Claire. She adores this chair !)
In other news … we’ve added another project to our never-ending To Do List.
How about pink?
Okay, maybe not.
But once the projects gets underway, I’ll share some photos with you!
Here’s a little sneak peek of a project I’m working on. I’m already in love with this room and have such a clear vision of what the finished product will look like.
Until then … here’s a few images that will give you a glimpse into AW’s future Sunroom!
Here are a few other items we love for the room:
I recently helped my bff’s mom select wallpaper for her Master Bath. There are some fabulous wallpapers out there … and unfortunately some a bit less than fabulous …
We used this Gracie wallpaper in a previous client’s Powder Room & customized the paper to add touches of blue in the birds, flowers and butterflies. The paper along with the plumbing, materials, mirror & accessories turned this bathroom into a jewel box!
In the Guest Bath of the client mentioned above, we used the Butterfly wallpaper from Fromental.
It is silk wallpaper with embroidered butterflies. Gorgeous!
Here is the wallpaper shown in another space.
I used this unique and beautiful Mermaid wallpaper by Carolyn Ray in a client’s Powder Room. It is one of my favorite wallpapers.
Here are a few other wallpapers that I love!
