Ideas for you

Sorry I "ghosted" Last Friday....I was leaving for Chicago and try as I might just couldn't gather my thoughts to pull together a post:) Speaking of Chicago...... I was with my sister and we were going up for my nephews baby shower........but  our flight was delayed 5 hours due to a snowstorm.   I wrote this after about 4 hours....ha ha We got to the airport at 9:30 and the flight finally left at 4:40.....needless to say it was a long day. 3 things I think Delta could do to make delays more fun ....have someone to give neck massages, maybe a mani-pedi station....and the best thing would be a puppy room where you can just pet and play with them..... everybody knows puppies reduce stress! But oh so worth it!  The first grandchild in our family will be here in late March. They had the event at The Dunham Woods Riding Club and the decor was amazing!  Hopefully you saw some of my instastories. The walls and this frame....ri...

Well I'm not sure what I am going to blog about after I finish showing you more pictures from my project featured in Southern Homes magazine .  Marcy Simpson took such gorgeous photos and really showcased my work.  I am humbled. Yes I am still blabbing on about my recent 15 minutes of fame....kind of like when I painted my floors white.....just couldn't shut up about it and found a way to weave it into every conversation. I'm nothing if not consistent. Let's get right to it. The basement.....which as you can see below was not built out at all and just used for storage..... After.....don't ask me the color of the stain....I don't know it:) I love how these knobs kind of mimic the iron panels..... Looking past this sliding door you can see that there are 2 more rooms.....a den and a bedroom. After staining. The husband and wife are big readers so for once I had no shortage of books! Prett...

Well as expected everyone wants to know about that stain color....and so would I....ha ha. The truth is a faux painter did it and of course he is not going to share with me because then I would not need him right?  Just like designers have their sources so do people who have a trade....like being able to mix and put a beautiful finish on raw wood..... The only thing I can tell you is that it was applied on white oak. On to things I can share with you like wallpaper.... Thibaut to be exact! Since wallpaper came back on to the scene about 5 or so years ago..... my go to for beautiful papers has been Thibaut. Especially grasscloth . Like this brown one that I used .....which by the way is my new favorite! This beautiful neutral grasscloth that has a glimmer to it! And this pretty grasscloth damask I used in a foyer. I just ordered this pretty blue and white one which will go in a bathroom next week..... Other examples of Thibaut and Ann...
