Town Home Vestavia Hills, AL
Hey Guys!! I have a fun project I am working on. I wanted to share it with you guys!! One of my dearest friends just moved in to an amazing town home in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. She asked me to help her accessorize a few areas. I am going to start with her master bedroom. She needs wall art as well as lighting. Below are some of my ideas:
I am proposing the artwork for over the bed as well as the lamps for the bedside tables. The art is from World Market and the lamp is from Target.
I am also suggesting a few accessories for the outdoor area. She wants to add color and lighting. Below are some of my suggestions:
I am in love with the accessories that I am proposing for the outdoor area. Everything is from World Market. The first picture is the rug. I love the yellow color and pattern. The next picture is a throw pillow. I love the butterfly pattern as well as all of the vibrant colors. The stool I chose can also be used as a side table. I thought this would be great to have. She can use it as a table or extra seating. The last picture is the lighting. I am proposing the clear bulb lights. She wants the lighting to be simple and I think the clear bulb strands are perfect!! Now it is time to shop!! I will post pictures of the purchases later! Let the fun begin!
Making the old new again!!
Hi guys! I know in an older post, I told you to not get rid of your old furniture, but paint or refinish it and make it new again.. Why by new when you can revamp your old?? Below are some of my recent projects:
This is an antique mantel from the early 1900s. I found this at an antique store in Hamilton. It would be great to hang on a wall in your den to give the illusion of a fireplace.
This is the mantel all finished.
Victorian Table
White wash
Cross
Why buy new when you can repaint your old!?! Also, painting is the best stress reliever. Remember, you are too blessed to be stressed ;).
Antiques

Gilbert's Lake House
Gilber'ts Lake House design
I am so excited to share my design ideas for the Gilbert's lake house inspiration. I want my design to reflect both of the individuals as well as the baby. I also want to accomplish making the lake house feel like a getaway home. I want to satisfy their cravings of the beautiful view and enjoying that cup of coffee on the outdoor veranda.
Kitchen and Living Area
Master Bedroom
Outdoor Area
This design is very whimsical and rustic. I wanted to make it as comfortable as possible. Again, this is a getaway weekend home for them. Hopefully, this will give them an idea of furniture and accessories that will reflect their personality. I love it! Enjoy!
Nursery Design
Nursery design for Dr. Elizabeth Holmes:
Dr. Holmes and her husband are going to welcome a baby boy in December. I am honored to get to design his nursery! Below is an inspiration board of some ideas. I have a feeling he is going to take after his daddy and have a love for baseball, so I am proposing soft baby blue walls with pops of red.

Since this is their first child, I wanted to give them furniture and bedding that they can re-use. The overall look of the nursery is shabby chic with a baseball twist!
Summer is here!
Summer is here! Get outdoors!
My favorite season is SUMMER! I want to be outside as much as I can. I think your outdoor space whether it be a back porch or pool deck needs to be as welcoming as your living area. You can accomplish this through comfortable furniture, fabrics, throw pillows, accessories, and plants. Below is a "outdoor board" I created to give you some ideas.

Restoration Hardware inspired me on this concept board. Most everything on this board is from Restoration Hardware. If you like anything on the board, please let me know and I let you know how to order :) I almost forgot one thing: It is important to be able to relax after a long day and have a glass of wine or a cocktail of your choice. Below are some fun necessities:
All of the pictures above are from Pottery Barn. It is a great resource for entertaining! Enjoy and Cheers to a great summer.
