BOULDER PROJECT UPDATE

I got home from Boulder Friday night and hit the ground running.....I had a client who was having a party on Saturday so I had to do some accessorizing for her!

Sunday I just chilled cause Mama needed some down time you know:)

I have some new pictures of the demo over at #fieldcourt and it's coming along.  When you are working on a budget you have to weigh every decision.....deciding where to spend and where to save.  What is going to create the biggest impact!

We are slowing putting plans together for many of the areas.

First up is the foyer....

The iron railing went in!

Nice huh!

Master bath before

It's certainly not very special.....

Gutted.....

t

Opening it up and just leaving a pony wall for the shower.  Nice thing about the space is there is so much light.

Since we aren't adding any square footage we have to give a lot of thought to the other elements of this bathroom like tile, vanity and lighting.

The floors will be black hex and actually go up the back wall by the shower. The subway wall tile will be hung vertically.  Adding the wood vanity helps to warm up the space.

Heading into the dining room.....

Here is the real estate shot.  What's good:  Love the sloped ceiling and it's a large room.  That being said with so much space we decided to break it up, remove the bookshelves and move the dining room into the area.

Gone......

OK here is where it gets crazy.  Deciding on a light fixture and the style of the space.

Now that the walls are all down you will be able to see 4 light fixtures......so they have to look good together.

Since the middle closet has been removed....

There are 3 places for fixtures but we aren't doing anything in the middle.

We picked this Arteriors metal pendant

Then above the staircase.....

From All Modern

Which is why the DR fixture is so important.  I have put together 3 boards using different elements.

# 1

Using the Rejuvenation Pendant I used on the Madison Project.

# 2

Using a new pendant Brian Patrick Flynn designed for Crystorama

# 3

Last using this Nelson Bubble from DWR.

These are all large light fixtures to help fill the space but are simple in style.

So there you have it....would love to know your thoughts if you have a moment:)

My eyes are crossed from looking at so many fixtures and trying to narrow it down.

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE WEEK 5

We are on the roller coaster now at the top of the hill.....about to free fall to the bottom.....whether  ready or not.

Yep.... it's do or die time for the ORC!

There are 20 of us scrambling to finish our projects with one week to go!  Linda [our motivator and biggest supporter] is sitting back wiping her brow....happy she did not make the crazy mistake of joining in.  She just moved into a new home in Florida so I admire her for being so sensible:)

I left you last week with white floors.....that had to cure for 7 days.  We made it 4 days and then I had to have the furniture delivered.  [We were still careful not wearing shoes for the full 7 days]

Deadlines people.

After talking to the Sherwin Williams people I decided not to put a coat of poly on top.  

Living dangerously.

This went down first.....

The beautiful Karastan carpet [one of our great sponsors].

  

The black and tan pinstripe sofa from Lee Industries.  Gah.....I want this so badly.  I found the small wooden table from HG's.  The pharmacy lamp from another sponsor Bellacor!

I put the sofa table I ordered from Overstock behind the sofa and then I started to hang the gallery wall with all of my art selections from Minted....another sponsor!  Yes.....my sister scored right?

I wanted you to see the seams.....my heart is full of love for this detail.

I began accessorizing like it was an olympic sport.

I like playing where's Waldo with that TV:)

Yesterday I went shopping for some accessories. I think I will just have to put my sister on a payment plan....

Rejuvenation is having their Friend's and Family discount this week so I picked up these.

This great Woolwich Blanket.

And a canvas tote for the fireplace hearth.

Then I went all cray and decided since the electrician is coming today to install the new ceiling fan from Bellacor [here is some great info about how to choose a ceiling fan] and light fixture from Crystorama [another great sponsor] that maybe we could install a few cute pendants over the kitchen peninsular.

I picked up 3 different pairs.  I am nothing if not decisive.

I was at Ikea and they now make this one in a 9" version.

Then I saw this one....

AND......after a little trip to West Elm I picked up 2 of these....

They were on sale also for 20% off.

Lord knows when the electrician is coming you don't want think you forgot something:)

You will have to wait until next Wednesday to see which ones got selected!

This little number from my basement got hung!

Because I am so lame....the curtains won't be ready and hung until Tuesday.  Yes....you read that right.

The ottoman got a little slipcover.

I used the same seam like the sofa.....

This should arrive for under the small dining area  from Urban Home! Another great sponsor.

And....those Ikea pillows are pretty awesome!

So I leave you.....a little anxious that I still have a lot to do....

Check out the progress of all the other talented designers!
