Pillows on the sofa, larger ones for the pop of colour and smaller ones to speak back to the chairs and ottoman.

2  American Journal End Tables from Kincaid in the Blackberry finish. I always use black tables when there are too many finishes in the room or I cannot exactly match the a finish.

Uttermost Lamps on each end table, which is going to look like a million bucks on the black finish tables.

ottoman_205

Leather storage ottoman on casters, in same leather as theatre seating above.

2 Howard Miller Bookcases/Ty Pennington designer… one on each side of the fireplace…see picture below, they are going to look wonderful.

002 

Artwork…called “Burnt Orange Dish” it is a ceramic plate attached to the center of the frame

008

I can just see the artwork over the fireplace and the bookcases on each side, the art is wild and will give the fireplace just the right amount of pop…

This was fun, I hope you enjoyed looking at my work as much as I enjoyed posting it…

Things that inspire

Today I am doing my second to last client room presentation before going on my vacation…and have a few moments to post…

Now the words “Things that inspire” come to mind when I go to all of your blogs but today want to say it is not a thing that inspires me today.

Today it was Joni Webb from the blog “Cote de Texas”

 Miss Gracious Living

Today as always…Joni’s blog inspired me…to carry on no matter how much discount a client wants after all my work…

Imagine after getting a free designer (with purchase of your room)after you love the new floor plan, love all the fabrics for all the new soft seating with an area rug to pull it all together…I used her tables (I do not do that often), love the one new table, love the new lamps that contrast her tables properly, a fabulous piece of art over the fireplace (I do not like mirrors up there they only reflect the ceiling)…now after all that she wants a 25% discount on the lot…

I was questioning what I do last night until this morning when I visited Joni’s website and saw all the beautiful rooms…that is what I do this for, I thought…Thank you Joni Webb !  Thank you for reminding my job is worth while and that I do love my job…Ready to carry on now with my next client…this new room is amazing…I am good to go…

Love you Joni Webb !

Happy Birthday, Sandra Bullock

Happy Birthday,

to my favourite actress Sandra Bullock

I was on the internet looking for a way to email her today to say Happy Birthday… I could not find a way to do it so I decided to blog a message to her…

If it was possible I would have her over for Tea and Cake…

cakeAnd there would be balloons
