Classic with a Twist

Wallteriors: Turning Heads

We are all looking for something different... something that stands out...

something that says "WOW!"

Here you go-

We've chatted about my love of wallpaper in the past, but

Wallteriors brings it to the next level...

custom, custom, custom

They are a manufacturer of hand crafted, eco friendly line of wallcoverings that I

stumbled upon at the Postcards Home showroom in Vegas.

Here's Damask- Black Russian cut into squares

and here it is applied in the regular pattern... shake it up!

In the pic below, you can see how the squares were cut but turned and

applied differently on the wall... a head turner

(I need to show the Cheetah Couple the paper below)

Also love the framed, vintage map idea for your blank wall

See them here.

The appeal is the variety of papers and the installation

process is what sets Wallteriors a part from other wallpapers

They are also taking my 'nailhead fetish' to a new level-

Diamond Head Interchangeable Tacks add the glam factor to your focal wall

Wallteriors is sold by the square yard and offers a free service to

match your specific paint color.

Does it get easier than that?

Call me if you want it!!!

Until next time,

Super Media Rooms for Superbowl Day!

Day 5!!! Superbowl 2011 in Dallas!

Beautiful weather... 45 and Sunny (however, a bit on the slushy side)

...Not at the new JerryWorld!

For the rest of us Dallasites that will not be headed to the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium,

we will watch the big game in front of our flat screens-

or if we are amongst the lucky ones...

in our media rooms!

Here's a pic of a window treatment we did in a media room in Frisco

(lots of yummy fabric helps absorb the sound)

Now it just needs some art... an original from Steve Taft may be just the ticket. See the post

about another theatre room we finished in Dallas by clicking here.

If I had an empty room in my house, can't you see this one below fitting in perfectly???

Turquoise and Glam...perfect for watching my Bravo reruns... Rachel Zoe Project,

Jeffrey in Flipping Out and of course, the Real Housewives.

(I'm not so sure how this would sit well with the husband, however)

Here is a bit more casual ceiling, black out shades and over the top ceiling~

Speaking of "over the top"... WOW!

This family took "Man Cave" to a whole new level... it is actually a "Bat Cave"

Watch the Big Game like the Romans would have....

Or how about in just your comfy family room by the fire!

Enjoy the Superbowl and Go Steelers!

Until next time,

What's in the Pantry?

Dare I say I have Cabin Fever?

Being iced inside my house for three days... going on four...

has almost forced me to do the dreaded...

Pantry Cleanout!

Since the kids are home from school tomorrow, I might as well get a few things

done around here... starting with FOOD- getting rid of it.

While I'm ~~stuck~~ in the pantry, I will do what I do best... dream of ways to improve it!

Let's start with the best of the best-

Wine storage... yes!

An unexpected finish on the pantry door is always a treat for the eyes!

Paint it an accent color or use chalkboard paint-

Add shelving near the bottom for the appliances you seldom use

Sleeping with the enemy... need I say more?

Now head inside with the paintbrush! Love the yellow-

Stop by The Container Store and invest in some pull out baskets

on glides to easily reach your staples

I love some of the concealed storage in the drawers...

it looks more like a clothes closet rather than a pantry

Sliding pocket doors save space and the counter provides a work area as well

Don't forget to add an updated light fixture... fun!

How about granite countertops in your pantry? Oooh la la

When a walkin pantry is not an option, double doors allow easy access, shallow

shelves and vertical storage on the inside of the doors-

And a bonus for small spaces... pull out shelving for canned goods and small appliances

Maybe you will join me on the LAST...

Until next time,

Restoration Hardware... for less~

RH look

It was everywhere! The Restoration Hardware "Look" was all over the Las Vegas Market-

but the good news is... the hefty price tag was missing!

Many manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon with the style of:

*bleached woods, rustic elegance, chunky legs,

*worn textiles, metal elements and classic design

I have to say, I appreciate sooooo many looks of Interior Design and I wish

I could have an abundance of empty rooms to create masterpieces in all different styles.

This particular newcomer had me swooning....

Noir Furniture is based in Los Angeles... but lucky for us,

there is a local showroom that carries their product!

Just a hint of nailhead:)

Have you seen these chairs somewhere?

Great lines... classic look

Can't decide if I like the headboard or the light fixture more?

This chair has been a favorite chair of mine for years... again, here it is for less!

I want the lamp... period

No worries using this table top made of zinc

One more great find with a similar look was the showroom of

Classic Home Furnishings...

which has something for everyone

A bit more transitional... great handle detail on the back of the chairs

Terrific light fixtures

Peek behind the dining set to the bookshelf unit

The idea here is less color and more texture within your furnishings...

calm, retreat like feel

It may not be for everyone, but if you love it... go for it!

Let me know if you've added Vintage Chic into your look~

or...would like to!

Until next time,
