Color LOVE + Farrow and Ball= Happy Home

Wednesday, October 17th, 2012

SO I have know about Farrow and Ball paints for years,

but since they were not readily available I had not used any of their colors…

WELL NO MORE!

The Rue in Richmond, VA,  now sells Farrow and Ball paints and I am truly in LOVE.

I have slowly been re doing the upstairs in my home and have used these paints in each room and have to admit,

there is something about their premixed formula that has an amazing depth.

Their colors are INCREDIBLY livable.


If you live close to Richmond, please come hear Ann explain this company’s philosophy and learn something about

COLOR.

I have been to this and really enjoyed it.

It lasts about 40 minutes :)

Gold & Silver Leaf- Walls, Ceilings and More…

Thursday, 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 it is timeless,

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

what do you think?

Focus on kids rooms when moving….

Monday, 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!

Thursday, 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!

Room to grow…new nursery from Sunny

Sunday, 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?

Calling all Pink and Brown Lovers!

Thursday, September 9th, 2010


Below is a project I worked on today,

A bathroom in some of my personal favorite colors PINK and BROWN.

Here is a great way to use this palette in a sophisticated manner.



By painting the ceiling pink, and the walls brown the room does not become too “cute”.

The  pink pattern on the walls make you notice the ceiling, so you can have your pink without getting sick of it!

let me know what you think!

I used the Hayden Medium and Hayden Small stencil for this project.

Here is the process:

Bathroom BEFORE , with walls painted and PINK CEILING ready to go.

The Water Closet inside the bathroom has the same color scheme.


During- please remember to always use less paint when stenciling.

I always tap my brush on the side of the stencil before I start to remove excess paint.

If you want less pattern you might have stopped right here with just the large stencil.

SO what do you think about the PINK and BROWN?

Going from 13 to 18 and beyond, updating a girl’s bedroom

Monday, July 19th, 2010

I do not often take on “Whole Room” projects, this one though I could not resist!

Especially since it is a surprise for an amazingly sweet girl.

When she was 5,  I did her “new room” in her new home, since I had painted her nursery in her previous home.

Well, she is turning 14 this summer and I was enlisted to help transform her room while she was away at summer camp.

This room should take her through high school and beyond.


I will take you through the thought process with pictures!

enjoy!
