Red, Light and Blue

Have I shared how much I love the color combination of
red and light blue?

We've chatted about turquoise and orange quite a bit, but I was reminded 
a few times this week that I was ignoring one of my faves-

#1.  I saw this party pic idea from the TomKat Studio and Tiny Prints...


and I was swept away... love it!

#2.  I had a client email a photo of a Persian rug he is trying to sell.
It is a steal and thousands below what he paid!

Call me if you want it for a good price!


#3.  I was catching up on my blogger friend's post over at
Traci Zeller and she just reported on the combo as well!


#4. Saw this on Apartment Therapy



#5. We had the Kravet rep at the office last week showing the latest
introductions and saw this beauty-


and Kravet Couture from their website


and this one... just for fun:)


#6. All of this reminded me of one of my favorite rooms
designed by none other than Tobi Fairley-
Queen of color and pattern


Truly, we can use this color combination almost anywhere
in your home!  Is it just me (and the other Traci) or do
you love it too?

Until next time,

Gorgeous on the Golf Course: A Client Update in West Plano

Thinking Spring...


My client, NanaPatty, in West Plano was ready for an update. She wants to trade 
in her expansive home on the golf course 
for a two bedroom, two bath condo at the beach!

Before putting the house on the market this Spring, she knew she needed 
to make some changes and knew she needed some help.  

We turned... blue, pink and dated-


into green, raspberry and fresh!


With the help of beautiful fabrics from Greenhouse and some reupholstery magic,
we were able to give her the look that buyers will love as well!


I didn't get the full view of the room because we were not quite finished,
but we also painted the fireplace mantle and some of her wood pieces a 
black matte color to tie into her kitchen.  The sofa and loveseat were also
reupholstered in the grassy green fabric, seat cushions were restuffed 
and bun feet were replaced with tapered blocks.




The kitchen was given a facelift as well...

Before:


After:


(light fixture will also be painted black)

And this beauty is on the way to go over the server...



What a difference color makes!

Are you thinking Spring too?


Until next time,

Working like a Hound dog and covered in Houndstooth!


No.... I didn't go on vacation!  I've been buried in fabric
and working my way out of it!

My M.O. is to be busy and I actually get more done working off a packed checklist.  
In my attempt to shorten the "to do" list and lengthen the "meet with clients" list-

I have hired a Design Assistant!

I look forward to you meeting Noelle in the near future and 
I look forward to increasing my productivity... YES!


We are soooo fortunate to have some great projects in the works.

Here's a glimpse of direction we are going in the "Man Cave"
at my client Kate Spade's house:


Plaid on the runway and plaid on the pillows here!  Kate Spade wants to create a warm,
cozy cabin like feel for her husband to veg out in front of his large "screen".

We are painting the fireplace black, adding window treatments, artwork and 
lots of influences from menswear to make him happy!

The starting point-



Notice another steal from the runway... houndstooth!
Not just for your suits any longer-




I stopped in my tracks when I came along some of these accessories
from Blue Ocean Traders at Market...
Diggin the antelope??







Kate Spade and I are definitely ordering some of these...

I continued to drool when I came across some
show stoppers from Aidan Gray... Wow!




My Fav-


Some of these may have to go into Kate's room as well... we are working on
that one too, but the Man Cave is moving along faster!
Do you have something in your closet that you would put on your chair???!!!!
Until next time,
