Sorry to keep 'dragon' this on...

But seeing this bench only continues my hanky-panky with Mr.Chiang Mai Dragon.

'Good stuff' is right.

*I have Caitlin to thank for keeping this reptilian romance hot and heavy* 

{because this is a family blog, I'm going to resist explaining what the addition of the nailhead trim is doing up in here}  

BOO!!

No, this isn’t the way we decorate our house for Halloween. Although, I’m sure my neighbors are somewhat always scared as to what they may drive by in my driveway…heck, who am I kidding, my husband is probably scared as to what he will come home to. There are always projects.

This is a clients childhood furniture—a bed, desk, dresser and bedside table that I am

 sanding, priming and painting for a new guest room in their mountain cottage. It is going to

 be a really fun transformation. I am hoping for an install next week so stay tuned.

At 9:30 last night, my son decided that he is, in fact, going to dress up for a Halloween party

 that is happening on Saturday night. ‘I need you to make this costume, mom. It's simple.’

Upon some investigating, I discovered I will need battery operated lights {only available

at Radio Shack}, gold spray paint, gold lame fabric, tons of hot glue, some kind of helmet,

 lots of cardboard, 2 cabinet knobs, 2 plastic cups, a sewing machine, and black mesh.

Simple.

 

A million dollars to the person who can guess the costume.

Good Luck.

Friday's fabric frustrations.

Say it 3 times fast. Then help a sista out.

I scored these great chairs for a client. They feel very Missoni inspired, don't ya think?

I am now selecting the sofa. The problem is, they look good with so many different fabrics!

Love this nubby charcoal linen.

 

 

But, it looks so crisp with this fresh stone fabric.

And look how punchy it becomes with this citrus yellow {minus the 'floor sample'

 throw pillows} piped in a gray-blue! This, however is a hard cell for Mr. Client.

 

Which direction would you go?

Enveloping Color: Jimmy Stanton

Tuesday, October 04, 2011

I’m always excited to see new projects by designer Jimmy Stanton of Stanton Home

 Furnishings. His rooms have such an ease and comfort to them. So, it was a treat to

 see a showhouse that he recently completed in this months Atlanta Home Magazine.

 

Jimmy Stanton does such a great job at producing a cohesive home. One of his companies

signature concepts is their use of color: ‘we take one paint color and envelope the whole

 room in it—the walls, the doors, the ceiling, everything. It’s so comfortable; it pleases the

eye and changes the entire feel of the room. And we’ve done the whole house that way.'
