A Classic Color

Navy is such a classic color, and here recently it has been used in some non-traditional ways. 

Think cabinet color. 

Maybe you are looking for a way to change up your all white kitchen (which I'm sure is fabulous), but hate to loose the marble you sought after for months and months?  

Consider Navy!

If you don'y want to commit to all over navy, look how well the navy contrasts against the white and how yummy it looks with the brass pulls!

ALL GIRL

Wendy had the pleasure of designing a young teen girls room back in May. To see the room you may think, "Wow that is a whole lotta pink!", but if you knew this sweet child, you would totally understand why Wendy went  ALL GIRL on this one. The room was put together in seriously, 2 days. Shopping on day 1 and the install came the next day. Big thanks to A Wise Move for their heavy lifting, and to Stephen Dickerson for making the window panels in less than 48 hours!!

Think Pink

June is here and by no means did it take its time arriving! Our color for this month is PINK. What shade do you think of when you "think pink'? Do you think subtle, sweet, calming shades, or do you think bright, glam, rocker girl pink? That's what we love about this color-it can take on such different personalities. Take a look and see which shade of pink you react to more.
 Maybe you will discover the rocker chick you never knew you had inside :)

To feed your sweeter side:

look at that floor!

Mellow Yellow

Well hello May, when did you get here?!
We have noticed a rise in popularity with all shades of yellow over the last couple of months and we LOVE IT. Yellow is so bright and cheerful-how can it not put you in a great mood?

Plum Perfect Pad

One of our most recent jobs was to tackle a dated attic space turned bedroom. The client is a Dad to the sweetest girl, so naturally he wanted to give her a space where friends could come over, hangout, watch tv and then spend the night! We asked Slate Barganier if they would come in and handle the construction, and they did a fantastic job!
Because it was an attic, there were 5 dormer windows, which meant awkward ceiling heights and angles... Oh, joy! We pushed out 2 of the 5 to create more room and eliminate a narrow hall. The third, we turned window seat and added sconce lighting for a great reading area. A vanity and desk were added in the last 2...no wasted space in this project! All the windows were treated with roman shades created by the one and only Stephen Dickerson.

This project ultimately has 4 rooms: bathroom, bedroom, daybed alcove, and tv lounge.

Take a look!

The vanity was originally gray, but we had it painted a high gloss white. Turned out great!

Take it Outside

If you're like us, we live outdoors during these warm months. Eating, playing, socializing and even sleeping. Why not treat your outdoor spaces like you would any indoor room? Comfy throw pillows, a table scape fit for your dining room table -all surrounded by your outdoor space that you have invested so much time/money! These pictures will help you out with some ideas, and maybe the next party you throw will be in the comfort of your own backyard.

Oh, and did I mention, they are all about Lavender :)
