I did it!

Yes....ANOTHER project! I built my banquette seating around the table. Lots of hard work but I LOVE it! I will post photos soon!

Elegant moody bedroom


This is my latest redo! A deep plum and silvery gray girl's bedroom.
I took the antique dresser and painted it with Rustoleum's metallic silver! It turned out just as I had hoped and is definitely the jewel in the room!
One dilemma I had was what to do with the aquarium. Aquariums are not always pretty but with the use of a decorative pedestal, it dresses it up a but and becomes a more intentional part of the room.
I also added a vinyl monogram in silver. It adds a bit of sparkle to the wall and helps personalize the space!
To add a bit a pattern and texture to the room, the closet doors were replaced with a fun set of chandelier curtains! This also helps with easier access to the entire closet. The curtains were simply hung on a shower retention rod that extended the length of the closet!

Family Tree Photo Wall




How cute is this! A beautiful blue wall with a soft blue vinyl tree applied to create a gorgeous tone on tone effect. Photos are placed on the wall as if to hang from the tree! I just love this!

Think outside of the box. How about a large picture frame made with vinyl to frame your already framed art! I also took one of the swirl designs from the frame and created a border along the top of the chair rail. I did this in my daughter's room. So cute!
