Gold & Silver Leaf- Walls, Ceilings and More…

January 19th, 2012

Silver Leaf  is well worth the investment…

it is a timeless amazingly beautiful treatment for walls,  & ceilings (if you can stand the pain!)


It can find a home comfortable in ANY environment-

think of it as Jewelry for your house.

Too much ruins the outfit, BUT we all can use a little BLING!


The Powder Room below needed some dressing up…

The silver leaf walls reflect the light from the window above.

This Dining Room ceiling (below) was silver leafed in order to reflect light, add elegance,  and age to a new home.

It is details like these that help newer homes have the charm of older ones.

Daylight with out any lights on…just stunning.

reflection of sconce light on the ceiling is awesome!!

View from down low looking up- the ceiling was first painted a mustard yellow,

but any color underneath the leafing looks cool!

The nice thing about a silver leafed ceiling is that is it timeless,

goes with any decor,  and is a true decorating investment.

what do you think?

Focus on kids rooms when moving….

October 3rd, 2011

Moving to a new home is stressful enough…much less throwing decorating into the mix,

and making each childs “new” room feel special-

Decorative painting is different , easy and can give the instant unique personality to a room in a jiffy.

Below we painted headboards on the wall and added monograms to make it personal…

for an adorable tomboy!

These can grow with her for years…and can also be painted right over when a change is needed!

Serena and Lily Sunshine Mosaic Sheeting

our Hannah Stencil works great with this pattern, or the Hanna inside,

Inverted Hannah, and the Hannah Outside..options are endless..

Sunny’s and Serena and Lily work great together for kids rooms

I admire this client for focusing on her children’s rooms when she moved…

it showed them that their space was important which in turn made the move a little easier!

hope you are inspired!

Jolly Roger Bathroom for two cute boys!

July 14th, 2011

Jolly Rogers made this one day guest room bath,   a sophisticated  ” fun”,

for  two young boys….

who want to be closer to mom and dad.

The deep charcoal gray is a nice contrast to the blue tile and marble counter tops

and the “preppy” placement of stencils make them more fun and cool…. than scary.

When it is time for the boys to move upstairs to their bigger rooms away

from mom and dad-

the marble and tile will all stay , and the paint…

well …paint over it!

STENCILING JUST GOT EASIER…

March 7th, 2011

SELF ADHESIVE STENCILS ARE NOW AVAILABLE AT SUNNY’S

What are self adhesive stencils?…these are stencils that have a thin backing that

you peel off and they are covered with self adhesive on the back of the entire stencil.


They are easy to use, and you can even use a small bathroom roller to apply the paint! ,

making it a lot easier and cleaner to stencil.

The above design is the Ainsley Border, it comes in TWO parts, the deep design and the shallow border to connect .


Peel off the backing

stick to the wall…

Look mom! NO TAPE!

roll on paint—with a light touch and not too too much paint on the roller…

peel off stencil…

keep peeling….

VOILA…very clean lines too!

connect the two to create a VERY unique border!

like this one below

Stenciling just got easier!

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? WANT TO TRY ONE??

THESE DESIGNS ARE AVAILABLE NOW ….

SMALL ROSE

STARFISH, MEDIUM AND SMALL

AINSLEY BORDER

BEA, MEDIUM AND SMALL

PALMOUR, MEDIUM AND SMALL

Room to grow…new nursery from Sunny

February 27th, 2011

I have the wonderful luxury of meeting the nicest people through my work…many become dear friends.

I also stay connected to different age groups which is also a gift…

I am finished having babies, so helping decorative paint nurseries is especially fun for me.

Here is Ainsley’s Nursery:

She arrived today!

Her room is designed to grow with her.

We chose a paint treatment ,

and fabrics that would easily transform into a little girls room, or even a teen!

The rocker , crib skirt and bumper  fabrics came  from Williams and Sherrill.

(Patty Ryan is great to work with there.)

the teal monogram is from our web site, as well as the Ainsley border

Mirror over the changing table is from {V for the home} $225

Down the hallway to the bathroom was a huge wall,

so we made a big memory board to stash notes and cute baby pictures, for her arrival!

And, lastly we made her bathroom super punchy with the LARGE ROSE stencil in aqua on a lavender wall,

the same fabric from the bedroom is used in this window as well.

This whole room and bathroom can easily grow with this little one!

What do you think?
