A Sweet Look for a Sweet Peach!

Feeling domestic and noticing the ripened peaches on my counter, I was inspired to make a
 homemade Peach Cobbler... in honor of my new client, Georgia Peach.

I solicited a helper and we got busy (with help from my laptop and
 Southern Living, of course).


We follow directions well:)


Ready to go in the oven...

And it was delicious... I do have to say!

***Admittedly it was called "Easy Peach Cobbler"... cuz that's how I cook!
Get the recipe here***



My client just moved to Starwood in Frisco from Alpharetta, Georgia... and being a
Georgia Peach, as well, I knew exactly the decorating style she was accustomed to! 

After looking at different color palettes for her empty family room, we decided to
freshen things up with a lighter wall color (BM Lenox Tan), updated geometric
print swivel chair and ottoman by Charles Ray, media console,
colorful pillows and anchored by a neutral sectional
Not many new homeowners want the same look they had in the old house!

This is where we started:

A classic club chair (adding an optional swivel base and upgraded seat cushion)
in the cool geo green upholstery! 
The multi-colored fabric is for the sofa pillows... lots of colors to pull from!

Next was the rug and sweet Georgia Peach is thinking it may be too much pattern-
we searched a bit more but I LOVE the non traditional floral by Feizy...


Here's another rug option- a version of a trellis pattern. This line is custom sized to any
dimensions we want and is affordable to boot!


On to art which has been fun! After trying a few pieces "live" in the home
(thanks Gaylynn!), we decided on this transitional beauty!
***Note: Room in Progress!***


And this in the dining room~ love the size and texture


As you know, decorating is done in layers and next we will tackle lamps,
reupholster existing pieces, mirrors and occasional tables.

We, Georgia Peaches, will get it done!

Crisp and Clean Design for my DINKs!



Another awesome room by Connell Interiors to show you!  One of my favorite client couples called last week to start another project in their home... this time, kitchen nook and living room window treatments.

I love working with my clients,  The DINKs, because they always have a realistic budget, love simplicity and will take some chances!  Last year we completed their living and dining room (which we cleverly turned into their tv room and office, respectively) and I left by saying, "Boy wouldn't window treatments look great in the tv room bay window??"

Nonetheless, they put the drapes on hold and moved onto their family room project.  I don't have before pictures of the family room but let me just tell you... it was completely empty from the start.  We worked off the colors of the front of the house which is currently on my website in the before and after section-






With this palette as the jumping off point, we transitioned the green and cream into the family room and added a splash of raspberry... oooh la la!



Ummm, favorite piece has to be the coffee table ottoman!



The entertainment armoire was custom designed by myself with the help of Kendra
at my "Go To" design showroom Resource Designs

We built it around the dimensions of the most important piece in the room according to
Mr. DINK, the flat screen television.  The company is called fittingly enough
(the possibilities are endless with the manufacturer... look for a newsletter or
blog post solely dedicated to them soon).

Aside from the perfect tv viewing, this young couple is all about function... lots of room to nap!  They both reclined on the sectional in the showroom to be sure they both fit!

So, onto the kitchen-



I'm thinking we need some color in there and here is the window
treatment fabric we chose for the tv room


Love this soooooo much!
Stay tuned!


Until next time,
Traci
