Pictures and Projects...

Well, it's a bit crazy around my house...probably because we are spending some long hours at the barn preparing for our Spring Barn Sale! I wanted to share some photo's with you...so here goes!

 The first four pictures show some cute area's getting created in the barn!



 Takes a while to get all the furniture in place....


 Then we get to add and layer it all up!

Before and After

Just sharing a quick recent project piece...
 She had good bones, some cute curves, but so many layers of paint! YIKES!




 I guess she was worth it!...I re-did a cute chair that matches too...a great piece with storage...Yippee!
Now, on to the next piece...

Client "A" - adding some color!

Well, I noticed it has been a long time since I posted, (sigh) I just can't seem to get it all done...can anyone else relate? Of course, that doesn't mean I haven't been busy...with Valentines Day, decorating for clients, selling an item per day this month on Facebook, buying fun things and the ever-present and increasing project pile...well, you know all the normal things...blogging just has not happened!

All that being said, I thought I would show you a few pictures from a client who's room got some decor and color...
By the way, these pictures are not great and certainly not "pin" worthy, but I hope you enjoy them anyway!

This sweet client is like many folks I meet, they have good taste, buy "current" items, but get stuck knowing how to put them all together...In addition, this is a rental house for the client, so she is "stuck" with the wall/carpet color and limited on what can be changed!

Our first step was to see what she already had and try to use that in a fun, new way!
We did purchase some items for her, working within her budget...
She had some really cool items, some purchased from the barn, so we know she liked our "look" - whatever that may be!

The first three pictures are "before"...


 And now 
we get to "after"...
 That large fireplace was the focal point of the room for sure...she had that wonderful, colorful print and that was our starting place...We placed it vertical for added interest and a less traditional look.... The blue frame, letter A, books, tiny chair, and blue ice cream bucket were from the barn...

 On this little space we hung original art work she had and added pillows to this darling bench!


 This wall is her entry way...she had a picture gallery going and we re-hung it and added some color with the cross and some of her items...We also pulled this great, funky chair out of another room...it was so fun!

 Also, we added a rug in a pretty blue...I admit, these pictures are bad...but we only had our camera phones...


Of course, pillows were purchased, adding instant color to the neutral sofa....


 
We started her wall slightly over the TV, so she could add more items and color if she desires...I like the fact that it is not centered over the TV...I think this adds interest to a long wall...

 We also hung up these owl hangers she purchased from the barn to hold her bags and purse...They are fun and perfect for that small space!

We had fun doing this project and hopes she enjoys her rooms more now!

What have you been sprucing up lately?

Painting Again: Before and After!


 What can I say? The projects are piling up and I will get them done!
( at least that is what I'm telling myself!)
 Here she is "before!" I love the dark finish on this piece and the curves she has!


I had fun jazzing her up with Old White and Coco!


She distressed great!
I think this little desk would blend with most and decor and especially go well with all you gals who love whites and neutrals!

Have you painted anything in Coco? What colors do you like to put with it? I would love to know!
