I still didn’t get as far as I had hoped, BUT…a promise is a promise, right?So here is the current status of the backsplash installation:As you can see there are still a few things left to do.

What To Do With Fabric Remnants? A (Somewhat) Quick and Easy Gift Idea!

Every time I wind down a project for a client, I’m usually left with a pile of little fabric remnants from upholstery projects, window treatments, pillows, etc. Most of the time, they’re not big enough to make anything on their own, and so often, I end up just throwing them away.Well, a couple of months ago, I decided that it was incredibly sad to throw away these beautiful fabrics–even the

A Sneak Peek Of My Office (Because I’m Not Just About Kitchens!)

At times I think to myself…I would love to know what it’s like to have the type of personality where I start a project, and then FINISH the project, before moving on to the next project. Unfortunately, that’s just not me. I’ve never been that way, and I don’t foresee a personality change in the near future

My Color Palette & A New Wall Color (Feel Free To Weigh In!)

This week, I’ve had a few people suggest that I choose a new wall color, such as apple green, and it occurred to me…I don’t think I’ve ever really shown y’all the direction I’m going with the whole color palette in my living room/dining area/kitchen.

Beautiful, Colorful Chandeliers (and a Sneak Peek Of My Glass Chandelier)

For me, it all started with this picture:Of course, I’m talking about my obsession with bright, colorful chandeliers. I don’t know where I first spotted that photo, but I blogged about it two years ago here, so as you can see, this is not a new obsession for me.And I’m not picky…it can be a spray-painted flea market find, or a gorgeous (and obscenely expensive) Murano glass chandelier

Color Inspiration from Photographer Jill Merriam

I had to step away from the computer all day yesterday…not by choice, but because I had yet another computer bite the dust. I don’t know what the problem is. I really don’t think I’m all that hard on computers, but they just don’t seem to last around me.
