THIS AND THAT



Hey y'all.....I know....it's been a while.  There is a slight problem since I upgraded the software on my Mac with uploading my pictures.

I used to be able to put the ones I would be using in an album which made it easier to upload but now it doesn't seem to be doing that so it takes forever to hunt for the ones I want to use.....grrrrrrr.  

It is always technology that does you in right!  But I have an hour before I have to meet my installer to hang some art so let's see what I can come up with....

How about a little this and that to start with.  Making some headway with a few clients....

Here is the before of this chair that was recovered...


It has great lines but was faded and I did not like the tufting in the seat cushion....


So magically here is the after in a black and ivory windowpane fabric and I love how they turned out!  These pillows were in her family room but we auditioned them for these chairs and they were perfect.  We will do a pretty dark gray velvet though for some richness!

She also got her husband to hang these Target frames in the upstairs hallway.....I love this because she can change out the pictures if she wants!




In other news I finally [after waiting 6 months for "in stock"] received this furniture!  She is my "glam  client so it is kind of fun to do something like this!

The dining room chairs....


And table


And the chairs have this cute little detail on them!

 The sectional also arrived and now we need pillows, a rug and window treatments....the fun part right!


I think this is the "most glamour" bedroom I have ever done and I am down with it!



I found this pretty pillow at Scotts....so that is our starting point!


Rose and I are also working on a project together and we are doing some accessorizing...

Here is the before....



And the after....which includes nothing new I might add.....

Just a little refresh!

It was fun scratching our head to come up with a more edited look and get rid of some of the white.

And there you have it...I managed to get through the picture part with out tearing my hair out....:)

I should have changed my blog away from blogger a long time ago and then I might not have this problema....but y'all....I get so overwhelmed with things lately.  Believe it or not...the Mac desktop that I bought 3 weeks ago is still sitting in the box in my office.

Crikey.

Alrighty then....I feel better to catch y'all up!

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE






Week 2 baby!

Last week I showed you the before images of the "bunny hutch" and we talked about the plan....well I talked about it.... you just listened and thought humph....can she pull this off.  There is some uglyness there.  Sorry sister:)

Recovering the furniture was a game changer.
Let's take a look.

Sofa
Now before you get you panties in a wad....this picture shows nothing more than the recovered sofa....not it's final destination.

  Notice there is no cording on the cushions...

The chair.  For those of you who live here in Atlanta we got the fabric at Marietta Fabric and Fringe.  Great prices.

Design tip:  Neutralizing all the furniture will allow us to add more pattern in the pillows and accessories.  By using a cream color [safe in a room that is not used very much] if she moves to a smaller home these pieces can be separated  for use in another space.

Here is the wing chair before
Are you confused?  Why is that orange fabric running down the middle?

Answer.
That was us trying to figure out the width of the stripe.  Very technical.

Here is the ottoman

We took everything out of the room and played with the arrangement....I am not going to sugar coat it....very awkward.  In the end we kept it almost the same.  I will try to have a floor plan for you next week.

Last week there was a comment about the image I used..... to show the style of the sofa.... and  where it came from.

I actually just googled English arm sofa and found that one but yesterday I was in Bassett and saw this one.
It is pretty much an exact replica, and very comfy!   They are having a 25% off sale right now if you are inclined to get one.

I have to tell you Maggie is pretty excited.  After putting 2 kids through college she will be the first to say that her home has been neglected.  That is what started all the yard sale talk...so she would have more money to spend!

I will post the yard sale info on Design Indulgence FB page if you are local.

Save some time today to check out everyone else's progress!


I know you won't be disappointed.

Have a fabu day.
