Pink Ribbon House

Here are some pictures of the specacular Pink Ribbon House  that is a collaboration of several designers. There is a great use of GREIGE (grey/beige) here and a mix of rustic and traditional furnishings.  Click on the picture to see some fantastic inspiration...

It is amazing how when you use such a neutral pallet, the way any colour pops right out at you. 

Before and after...

Take a look at a few before and after shots from recent renovations. It is always amazing to see the room transform.  Click on the picture for more pics. 

Drapery or no drapery

The current trend for window coverings is blinds and shutters. I think the reason is that they are easy to select and they are not fussy. I agree it is easier to clean shutters than lined silk drapes but nothing adds warmth to a room like drapery. It is an investment for sure, and can take several hours to find just the right fabric from hundreds of swatches, but you will never be sorry.   They just finish a room beautifully.  Click on the picture to see more...

The makeover on the cheap

This time of year is a great time to purchase outdoor fabrics at a great price to recover those tired outdoor furniture cushions. They really are only good for 1 season. Find yourself a good seamstress and recover them for next year. The furniture will look new and the fabric is a fraction of the price in the fall.  Click on the chair to see the after...

My client's furry friends

My Client's Pets...    

This is Elvis Pussley.  He is hilarious because his lip goes up on the side like Elvis Pressley's did.  He is very laid back and cool.  Click on the Picture to see more pets...

Tarzan is a very good hunter.  He has brought many critters home to his family, including rabbits, possums, rats, mice, moles, birds...His owners had a cat door until he started bringing the prey in the house alive, and that was the end of the cat door.  He likes to climb trees and play dead. 

This is Einstein or Eini as she is knows to her friends.  She is an English Bull Dog and is significantly larger now than when this picture was taken.  She likes skateboarding, digging and cuddling.  She loves treats and making friends at the dog park.

This is Portia.  She is a Whippet and is very gentle and feminine.  They say that Whippets are the cat of the dog world.  It is funny how much she acts like a cat but a little more affectionate.

The feminine side

I think every girl loves the feminine side of decor. Sometimes we can't act on it, because of the men in our lives but if you could, wouldn't you have a really girly place of your own? Maybe a beautiful closet or wrapping room (omg! A WRAPPING ROOM???), or a pretty bed or soft hammock full of pillows to dream on. Oh the possibilities...Take a look at some of these pretty looks.  Click on the picture to see more...
