Decorating with vacation finds

 

 

I hope this long winter has you dreaming and planning of a sunny vacation spot. If you are lucky enough to go someplace warm this winter, be sure to bring back seashells or seaglass. These treasures make excellent decorating  pieces. They help to personalize your home and they are free!

Arts & Crafts (Mission) Style Class


example of mission style



I am excited to announce I will be teaching a class in a couple weeks called Arts and Crafts Style on the Cheap.

It will be held Saturday morning February 27, 2010 at the Roycroft Campus, East Aurora NY (about 20 miles outside of Buffalo, NY)

You will learn the elements of the Arts & Crafts style including color palette, furniture details, and how to accessorize. Because this can be an expensive style to decorate in, I will show you tricks to get a love mission styled home without  spending a lot.

Reservation are required. For more information and to register for the class go to: Roycroft Campus

I can’t wait to see you there. Be sure to bring your questions and photos of your room in progress

Laundry Room makeover

post2

This room was the Laundry Room I did for the 2007 Junior League of Buffalo Decorator’s Show House. It was in the Silverthorne Mansion on Delaware in the city of Buffalo, NY

Here is another photo from that room:

Vinyl Frames in the Buffalo Decorators’ Show House

The Buffalo Decorators’ Show House was so much fun to do. The most popular items in my teen girl’s bedroom was the repositionable vinyl frames that covered two of the walls.
 
 
 
Here is the link on my web page where you can order them for your teen room, hallway or even powder room!

Decorator Show House progress

My assigned room within the Decorator Show House is progressing nicely.

With help from Scheer Painting Company (thanks Carolyn and Monica!), the room looks fabulous.

Benjamin Moore Aura paint used:

  • White Chocolate – a beautiful soft creamy white
  • Squish Squash – a cheery mellow yellow that pulls in the nearby bathroom tile color
  • Sweet Sixteen – a pretty elegant pink for the closet

Here are some photos:

This room will look great! Want to see it? Get tickets and open dates at www.jlbuffalo.org

See you there!
