ANYBODY THERE?????

 Well....well....look who's back:)

I have no good reason for dropping off except that one month became two months...and so on....

It's Sunday and I should be working...that is probably why I stopped blogging I guess.  I have 4 renovations going on and Lord...those are a lot of work!  Should be getting to the good parts soon but I feel like I have not had much good interior design to show you....hense maybe I could use that excuse!

I think if you follow me on Instagram that this will be old news!  I am updating a cute lake house here in Georgia up on Lake Oconee.  

Very excited about this one....I had 4 bathrooms to up date and quite a few spaces......

Below is the hallway that already has 1/2 paneling up the walls....so I proposed some neutral wallpaper and a pretty blue/green color below. 

Right off the hallway is a laundry room.  I suggested wallpaper on the ceiling and then painting the walls and cabinets a little bit darker.....

Walking into the front door there is quite a sizable entry with the same 1/2 wall of paneling....

I am thinking the darker color but painting the window and ceiling trim the pretty light blue/green....

She has this Ballard sofa so that will get re-upholstered with some pretty pillows....

I still have a mud room, bedroom, family room, and basement to pull together!  Now you see why I should be working!

We ordered all the vanities online because we want this to done quickly!

Here is one of the bathrooms....

The vanity is from Kohler, the sconces are from Visual Comfort.  

Y'all I hope everyone is getting ready to have a great summer...I will be in the weeds so maybe I can do something fun in the fall :)

Hopefully I can keep this up!

UPDATING A BORING POWDER ROOM

Hey y'all....happy fall!  Today I might actually be able to wear a sweater here in Atlanta.....

Let's just dive right in......I am going to share my thoughts on updating this plain ordinary powder room and what I am going to do with it to make it "sing"......:)

Here she be....typical builders blah powder room!  It has high ceilings and that is about it!

Here comes the paint!

I went with BM Wrought Iron....I was going to go with SW Tricorn Black but it just seemed to severe to me so I changed it at the last minute....

The faucet was an inexpensive Delta so I am swapping it out with the same brand but in a satin gold color and I also ordered a new light fixture.

I struggled over what finish to order the light fixture in but decided to go with the dark bronze....I know a lot of the art has gold frames so I had to put the breaks on the gold....haha!

I went to my favorite flea market....Antiques and Beyond here in Atlanta and after finding 4 different mirrors I stumbled on this one and knew immediately I found the perfect one!

So next up is the art.  I wanted to do all kinds of art so I started hunting for vintage frames at many flea markets....as you know the frames are the most expensive part and it would have cost a mint to have them all custom framed!

I scored all of these in one day from a few different places! 

I bought some art at Scott's Antique Market!

I also bought quite a few pieces from this amazing artist at Scotts.  You can find her on Instagram @vsidesart

This is some of the art from my first haul.....

I am at the frame shop here trying to decide which art goes in which frame and picking out the matting....

Sometimes if I like a frame but it has ugly art in it I will still buy!

I picked these up at the framers yesterday!  SO EXCITED!!

I used the Fast Frame here in Atlanta on Piedmont Road.

Still need to find a small vintage rug for this space...hope to secure this today!  The art install is Friday so stay tuned on Instagram for some pictures in Stories.....

I have to say that this client is amazing....every time I text her something her reply is "whatever you think"!  I mean dream client right!

OK....Cami has nudged me about 5 times wanting her walk.....so I must run!

  

Hope you all are having a wonderful week.....mine has been a bit difficult but I am trying to stay focused on the good things and I always know there are so many people who are struggling more than I am.

Always.
