BEFORE AND AFTER





I have been working on this project for about 6 months.  Custom furniture always takes the longest.....and there is bound to be a little backordered curtain fabric thrown into the mix:)

But.....it is slowly coming together and I have a few tight shots to share with you today.  If you want to read more about it you can go here.

The CR Laine spool chairs arrived and they are so pretty!




We used the Driftwood finish.

The garden stool from Wisteria fits nicely in between them.

After
The curtains were also hung and of course that  is always a game changer right....along with the Ballard acrylic coffee table.



The Charles Stewart sofa made it's debut and I am always amazed at the superior quality of their furniture.  I used a performance fabric called Crypton....and while it is considered a workhorse I would not recommend just smearing mustard on it!

After


A small gallery wall was hung over the bench behind the sofa.....


The armoire was finally removed and and the piano in place.....

Which leaves me another challenge....more art or something architectural?

After
Here are 3 in contention.....

Thinking a bit of punch in the room......Do you have a favorite?

Crikey there is a lot of wall space in this room:)

What plans do y'all have for the holiday?  You will find me at Jury Duty on Monday.  Yeah that sucks......but even more if I get picked.  Somebody has a bad attitude.

MORE SUMMER FASHION






It's that time of year when EVERYTHING is on sale and I  don't know about you but being able to shop on the computer is like a gift:)

I used to like to go to the mall but lately I just don't have the time.

I've bought a few things and one of them is this simple black dress from Loft.  It's stretchy and just loose enough that you don't have to walk around holding in your stomach:)  I think it was around $50.00


It's not too short because now my knees have somehow slipped down around my shins.....next stop.....ankles.

I did make the trip to the mall the other day to help my sister out with a few vacation outfits!  
I bullied talked  her into buying these pants from Ann Taylor.  At first she said no but I threatened to leave and go home.  

She got them.....

Bag  I bought this for 1/2 off the sale price!!!


Bought these jeans at AT and not sure how I feel about them yet.....this whole post started with trying to  put an outfit together for them!




I also saw this cute black dress while I was there....I love the pockets!


I ordered the shell collar from Twig and Twine when they recently had a sale!  I had been waiting because these aren't cheap....but definitely a statement piece!
I did see the skirt at BR and it's "a lot of skirt"......definitely need to be tall to wear it!


I have an afternoon wedding in July and I sure do wish I could wear pants!  See reference to knees....

Sunglasses
Earrings
Bag
Pants
Shoes  I might need these cuties!

Before I buy anything I need to purge my closet....and that is an activity I can definitely put off for something that is more important like plucking chin hairs. 

WHAT!!!  Saturday is July 1st?  That can't be.

PHOTO SHOOT





If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen some stories showing this landscaping at a project.  In fact it is the one that was photographed for Southern Home magazine recently!

This magazine is chocked full of goodness! 



Marcy Simpson was the photographer....can't wait to see the shots!

How excited am I?  Like a group of 6 year olds at a birthday party......

Anyway I thought I would share some of the images they didn't shoot.

Backyard before.....



I ordered this Kingsley Bates furniture and what is cool is that the round table can be put together on the ends of the long one to make a huge oval!


Loving this Currey and Co concrete bench!











Some of the beautiful pots.....



The front of the house.....







Around the side of the house......


And.....since they did not take any shots upstairs here are a few before and afters that I had taken last year by Rustic White Photography

This was a total house renovation.....not a single room was left untouched.  Same with the landscaping.....there was nothing in the back yard!

You guys....this rain has got to stop.  My hair is 

out
of
control.

Some images come to mind like chia pet, Don King, and Roseanne Rosannadanna.

Although she looks kind of happy with that thumbs up:)

Oh and another thing.  I have jury duty on July 3rd.  WTH?  One year and 2 days since my last time.  Do they have me on speed dial?
