BAR DESIGN | This is a DIY idea to make over our 70's bar
and to bring it into the 21st Century!

LOVE the Blue Sea Glass Subway Tile {1}.  Actually... I just
love Subway Tile in general.  And the Whale Pitcher {2} was too
cute not to include!

Costal Countryside | Dining/Living Combo 1 - for Matt and Mary




PART 1 | "Costal Countryside" initial concept for dining living combo.

Costal & Californian, reminiscent of college days at Cal Poly 
long road trips up and down the coast, and our current hometown,
Sacramento, CA!

Feel the breeze as you pass the rural landscapes and skyscapes.

The French Kitchen Island {8} adds a romantic getaway feeling,
while the photographic memoirs of the West Coast add a feeling of
the sublime!  
........

Diana Jahns {3} is the Featured Artist for today!  
So read below about her art & inspiration!

Tropical Paradise | Bathroom {2 versions}

THIS POST features TWO style boards!!

Tropical Paradise | Bathroom
Wall Colors Shown ~ Mirage White | Surfer



~~~~~~




A true Tropical Getaway to the island of you choice!

In this case...Hawaii!

{although the pictures are from SoCal,
I had Hawaii in mind when I designed the board}

I designed the first board in cream, then wanted to add some
pizzaz, so I changed the wall color from cream to teal!!
I love how something as simple as a fresh coat of paint and a
new color can change the whole feeling of the room!

My favorite feature in this board is the Climbing Vine
Glass Mosaic {2} - it is pricey so using it sparingly as an
accent can make it afforable.  Try using it for an accent on
one of the shower walls or frame it as an art piece of it's own!

Aloha!

The Great Outdoors - Living Room (Parent's Re-Design)





Natural & Neutral, "The Great Outdoors" - My parents are re-designing their front room area, my mom had many requirements to meet and has a very particular taste.  We looked at a lot of ideas, and themes and finally settled on a natural and outdoorsy look - I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out and my mom thinks so too!

I used some of the Art from the "Robin Hood Office", and added a few more as well!  A very soft palette with fun accent colors in beige and teal - this room will be a wonderful place to relax.

-------

Today's Featured Artist is Phil Gross {13}





Happy decorating!

Cinderella Ball - Bedroom/Sewing Room



Buttons, thread, ribbons, and dreams come true!  Lovely in light blue
and endless fun for young people.  The Dove Chandelier was my inspiration
 for this piece - as soon as I saw it, I knew a Cinderella Style Board was in-store.

This room was made for pre-teen to teenagers, but who says older ages can't
dream too, right?  It also is a sudo sewing room!  For even more versatility,
this design would also make an adorable baby room!!
Replace the bed with a crib and you're good to go.

Just be sure to be in bed before the stroke of midnight!
