Our Latest Obsession

We have recently acquired my great-grandmother’s home, the perfect starter home, as well as an amazing design project.  The location will be the new home of Brianna, her fiancé Cody, and their chocolate lab, Texas.

The cozy house has a ton of potential, a nice layout, hardwood floors, a beautiful secluded lot, and great neighbors (yes, Brianna & I are now neighbors)!

It is quite an undertaking and is going to require a lot of hard work and dedication, but we are so excited! We would love to bring you along on this design adventure as we make over the home, room by room.

Here is a glimpse of what we will be working with as we embark on our decorating journey:

















As you can see, the house is currently requiring a major face lift.  We plan to be extremely creative on a tight budget, so stay tuned, and let’s have some fun!!

Inspired by Color

Lately, we have been on the lookout for unique pieces of furniture that we could makeover with a coat of colorful paint and use in showroom displays.

It is so fun to experiment with some of the latest color trends without breaking the bank, and when a new trend comes along, it is easy to make a change with the stroke of a paint brush.

Our latest find, this solid wood pedestal table – which we were lucky to get for an amazing price!





Not only would this piece be a great table to use in a breakfast nook, it would look stunning in a large foyer, or in the corner of a bedroom flanked with two wingback chairs.
But, the new home for this little gem will be Posh – setting the stage for some chic and fun displays.
We have chosen the color HC150, Yarmouth Blue by Benjamin Moore for the fabulous table and we are absolutely THRILLED with the finished product!



For our first display, we decided to keep it sleek, simple, and stylish. 



Both of us have become addicted to discovering pieces that can be completely revamped by covering it with a gorgeous hue.  We cannot wait to discover our next creative project, we are hooked!
