Online Design Sucess!

Last week I got an exciting email from a previous online design client.
She has been working hard at transforming her living room and sent me some after pictures.
Remember last May when I created this online design for her?
Well she took the design and ran with it.
Here is the room before:
And after:
Is that the same room?
She found some great deals at her local HomeGoods, like the rug, and I love how they work in the room.
And can you believe that she bought those chairs for $30.00 off the side of the road? What a deal!
She also quickly recovered the ottomans to use while she saves up for the coffee table.
How talented is she?
I am thrilled with how the bookcase and fireplace turned out. 
Building over the fireplace niche really added a custom look.
And adding trim and beadboard to the bookcase transformed it.

I love seeing after pictures, best part of my job!

I’ve got a Project!

Well I found one.
Not exactly what I was looking for, but I think it will work.
I plan on following Jenny’s recommendation and use Rustoleums Protective Enamel oil based paint.

Her little side table came out great and I really want that lacquered look.
Hopefully I can find a color that will work!

And my faux bamboo chairs are finally going to get some paint as well.
I am so excited but tired just thinking about it!

The Decorating Curse

Does anyone else feel like as soon as they are finished decorating a room they are ready to start over again?
That describes me.
Kristen from Kristen F Davies Designs also suffers from this curse. 
She is constantly changing up her spaces and each of them are amazing.
Lately her living room went for this…
To this…

Such a drastic change but I love them both!
And how awesome is she for just doing it?
Have you seen her bedroom evolve?
From this…
To this…
To this…

Isn’t she incredible?

My project list just got a little longer.
Hopefully I can spice things up around here with just a little paint, inexpensive fabric, and lots of elbow grease!
Do you have the curse?
