Design In 5!

For whatever reason I thought it would be fun to virtually design a room in about 5 minutes and blog about it. Here is what I came up with!

How about a Nice Neutral Texture 
to start on the Walls

And a Pair of Clean Sconces ........

To go over this Fabulous Chest! So fabulous in fact that it was only in my store for less than 24 hours! Needless to say another one is on it's way

A Great Pewter Colored Sofa With Clean Lines From Lee Industries. Should we Nano Tex it so That Your kids can hop all over it with spaghetti sauce?

And a Pair of Sleek yet Comfortable Chairs

And Some Great Throw Pillows with a Unique Embroidered Design!

 Of Course The Room would be Naked with out Some Fabulous Draperies in this Mark Alexander Embroidered Fabric. This Large Scale Embroidered Pattern will Make a Great Vertical Focal Point Without Taking over the Room

A Sleek and Simple Coffee Table will Be Perfect and I would Use the End Tables Below to Keep up The balanced Mix of Old and New.

Fun With An Updated Antiqued Look. 

And This Fabulous Ottoman with a Fluid Nailhead Design by Schumacher

And A Few Tabletop Accessories from Jennifer Estes Interior Design

Some Alternative Wall Decor Like this Sunburst Metal Mirror and the Gold Metal Leaves to Give Your Walls Some Unique  Interest

And Finally Some Great Artwork like this piece from one of my Favorite Artists Leslie Barron. Check out some of her work on her website

Decorate & Celebrate!

Sometimes it is not a house that gets my attention but just a tabletop! When some of my friends decided to throw me a Birthday Tea Party I could not resist! I unleashed my creative fury and decorated my own table. As you can see....... Marie Antoinette is guilty once again for influencing me. I had so much fun looking for just the right materials to make the flower arrangements, cake decorations and tabletop decor.

Here are some mini 2 tiered petit fours with one of the cake decorations that I made from the goodies I found in the  scrapbook supply aisle 

I am wild about the plumes that I found to adorn my rose floral arrangements and the adorable sweet treat tags that I found from Cavallini . I used the tags to adorn my guest's favors and as table place cards.

Here are some more pictures of the tea party. Enjoy!

Chez Moi!!! A Work in Progress.

As most of you know, I have just finished renovating my personal home here in Memphis Tennessee. The details have been put into the bones of the house and I am just now getting around to the details as far as the interior decoration. Here is my progress so far!


This is Before I got my hands on it.

Here is the house when we found it. Most of my dear family and friends thought I was crazy but still said they knew that I must have had a vision. It is hard to see it but I did.

The house had an historical element to it that I did not find as interesting until after I read The Help! This is a maids's toilet. Can you imagine? Needless to say it was ripped out during demolition and is long gone.

Here is the house after we moved in. Before Landscaping and before I had to get rid of this blue color that was intended to be more of a cool icy grey.

Here it is almost finished. We have the first round of landscaping and I have painted the shutters and garage doors a much better shade of a greenish french grey.  Now I await some fresh sod and a new driveway. And last but certainly not least my fabulous Red English Mailbox that I picked up in England. See Below

I cannot wait to have it set in brick and ready to receive my daily post.  This type of find that I get so excited about.  There are a million boring standard mailboxes out there and most people do not put that much thought into their mailbox. THat is exactly why I had to have this. What a great detail to have in front of your house for all to see!

I love the window that I designed on the front of my house. There used to be a regular window with a fan detail above it. The main thing I love is the Antique French Oak Front Door that I found in Atlanta at Architectural Accents.  I love the unique shape of the window panes.

Stay tuned...... More to come soon!!!!
