Color Makes All The Difference

Updating Paint Colors Can Make All The Difference Between "Boring" and "Classic."

The trim on this 1970's home was a flat chocolate brown.
A 2010 update took it up a step with a complimentary "Black" in a semi-gloss finish.
The brick is a mustard yellow with some red and black throughout.
Mind you, there is absolutely no chocolate brown in the brick. Obviously, the color was more in line with the 1970's decorative style preference, rather than a proper color choice to bring out the interest and beauty of the brick.
By adding a classic "Black," the trim no longer competes with the brick.
It is clean, contemporary and is a color choice that will remain a "Classic."

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!!!

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.

Master Room Bedding

A Sample Photo Of Our Master Bedding Purchase
Made Online Last Night From pemamerica.com.

I've had my eye on this print for some time now...And have been shopping for the best pricing.
I've learned that when doing online shopping, even the same company has sale pricing, not advertised, at the bottom of the page...where it indicates that other shoppers have also looked at these items. Lo and Behold, there was the exact same Comforter Set for $40.00 cheaper...both items being sold through pemamerica.com.
Lesson learned...One must always be watching out for themselves, even while frugal!

While I am a seamstress, among other things, I don't really have loads of extra time so I wanted to make a basic purchase and then do some small sewing to complement the new bedding. I have vision and I'm picturing some really cool items that will make a very lovely Comforter Set transform from "Fab" to "Spectacular!"
Photos Coming Soon!
