Four days!

This week I've been working 

really hard redesigning a

clients bedroom. 

I only had one four days to get complete! 

It was a blank slate when I started.. 

Her furniture was all pine. 

Its amazing what paint can do to bring back to life! 

I found a tall vintage shelf in corner from my  

fried Julie at 

Past and Presents in Aurora.

Check out her blog!

I love these lamps! They're from Pottery Barn, 

The tops come off so you can fill them with anything! 

I chose wicker shades from there and painted them cream to add that 

cottage felling! 

There is a really cool sitting room off the bedroom.. 

I took these chairs and had them recovered. 

My upholstery guy is very good to me!

He gave me a great deal and got done in 4 days!

I need to still get a round tufted ottoman, but their

only so much you can find in that amount of time.. 

My client really wanted a vintage wicker lamp. 

I new we could find it, but I new it be hard with flea market not 

going yet.... 

Just in luck! 

Found this vintage wicker lamp last min in Geneva at

Circa in Geneva IL

I need the right mirror for her dresser. All her furniture is 

straight line, no detail.. 

I new I had to get that right mirror to give that pop in 

the bedroom! 

It took me three days to find! 

I got it at one of my new secret places :) 

Only $250 super heavy and all wood.... 

It's very old. 

Gave it a cool finish to help pull the hardware out of the furniture. 

Now the bathroom..... 

Walking inn it was just walls of mirrors.. 

I had custom frames made and I attached 

them to the mirrors.. 

The sconces help pull them together! 

I normally like adding lots of accessories, 

But my client likes things to keep things simple.. 

Found a cool vintage square tray and added bath accessories. 

 I was on the hunt for a cabinet for the bathroom. 

This was really hard to find! 

I turned the corner of my favorite place to shop and it 

was like heavens light shinning down on it! 

It was perfect! I had to give it a new 

paint job and a little love. 

I will have more to come... 

It was late last night when I got done, 

I will have better photos soon of the room 

and furniture accessorized. 

Wait till you see the chandelier above the 

Bathtub I added! 

Off to do another consultation!

Have a good weekend!
