DETAILS





Details Really Add So Much To Any Room
One can have the nicest furniture or the most beautifully painted walls in their home, but if it has a very generic feeling...it just isn't all that inviting. It's the little details like a lamp, photos, pillows and delicious scents filling the air that scream out,
"Come on in and make yourself at Home!"

Granite Countertops Installed




I LOVE THE GRANITE COUNTER TOPS!
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!

I went with Carlos Morales @ CC Dream Works, Inc..

Office - 801-347-7425 (Rebecca)
Mobile - 801-502-9132 (Carlos)
The Custom Counter tops have a beveled edge and all of them go over the sinks, which I especially love!
Initially, the project was to take 2 weeks from order to installation.
It ended up taking 4 and, I must confess, there were definitely some kinks that we had to work through, but it was all worth the wait and mess! It has given our kitchen and every bath a feeling of luxury!
DID I MENTION THAT I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE GRANITE?
IT'S SO FABULOUS!!!
A BIG "THANK YOU" TO MY SWEETHEART...
I LOVE YOU, DOUG!!!

Master Bedroom Update





A Master Bedroom serves a number of purposes...A place to sleep and renew the mind & body, a place of refuge when one's home is full of life & people, a retreat for private meditation and a special room set apart from all the others for my Sweetheart & I. With that said...I wanted a space that felt Chic but was a Classic. I Faux painted the walls a bronze-gold with a creamy taupe and the carpet is an antique bronze-gold color. To make the room pop with a bit of old world & modern, I decided to go a Black & White theme, with hints of gold. Alas, I found a "Bed In A Bag" that I really liked and simply looked for complimentary fabrics that I could use for curtains and overstuffed pillows. I detailed items with Black Velvet Ribbon, various Glass Bead Trim in gold and in black, and tried to use a variety of fabrics to add texture...like the black pleather pillow. I'm still working on sewing a few more pillows but I think one can get a general idea. Granted, my vision is more than our budget allows, so the cool bedroom set will have to wait, as will the chandelier light, but I can still utilize little details that add so much to our special retreat! The master bath colors flow right with the bedroom so it all feels like one big space. It's Awesome!

Master Bath






The Granite counter tops were installed throughout the house and has made a world of difference...I LOVE THEM! I also love adding a few small details to change the "Ordinary" to "Extraordinary!" Ribbons, Lace & Glass Bead Trim can really make a bath & hand towel really stand out! I stayed within the same color key but mixed knobs on drawers & cabinets to really personalize our space.
