BEFORE AND AFTER: BLANDFORD BOY'S ROOM

THIS HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR NEEDED HIS ROOM PULLED TOGETHER. HE HAD THE BASICS: A BED, RUG, AND WINDOW TREATMENTS. BUT HIS MOM WANTED A MORE SOPHISTICATED LOOK FOR HER COLLEGE BOUND SON TO COME HOME TO….GOODBYE TEENAGER ROOM, HELLO YOUNG ADULT!
ON THE LIST:
DRESSER, BEDSIDE TABLE, PAIR OF LAMPS, CHAIR AND OTTOMAN
HERE'S THE BEFORE:

AND THE AFTER!
MY CLIENT ALREADY HAD THE BEDSIDE TABLE ON THE LEFT. SO WE ORDERED THE NEW TABLE ON THE RIGHT AND PAINTED THE OLD TABLE THE SAME COLOR.
HOW AWESOME IS THIS STUFFED TURKEY?? AND HIS COLORS ARE PERFECT!!! GOTTA LOVE A CLIENT WITH AN EXTENSIVE "STUFFED ANIMAL" COLLECTION!



THE PAIR OF BROWN BAMBOO LAMPS HELP TIE IN THE DARK WOOD OF THE DRESSER.

MUIRFIELD ATTIC REDO: BENCH SEAT

WHO DOESNT HAVE AWKWARD DUCT WORK AND PIPES RUNNING THROUGH THEIR ATTIC? HOW CAN YOU GET RID OF IT?
 HIDE IT!!
IN THIS CASE, MY CLEVER CLIENT HAD HER HANDYMAN BUILD THIS BEAUTIFUL BENCH SEAT THAT STRETCHED ACROSS THE ENTIRE SIDE WALL. "FAUX DRAWERS" CREATE THE ILLUSION THAT THESE DRAWERS ARE FUNCTIONAL.
THE STAIN REPELLENT BROWN FABRIC NOT ONLY SHOWS A NICE CONTRAST ON THE BENCH,  BUT IT'S ALSO SUITABLE FOR HIGH KID TRAFFIC. THE WHITE CONTRAST WELT TIES IT TOGETHER. AND OUR TOMATO RED PILLOWS KEEP IT FUN!

BATTERIES RECHARGED...THANK YOU SPRING BREAK!!

its always nice going on a tropical spring break only to hear that it snowed 4 inches while you were gone!
we had a blast on a disney cruise….yes, i'm a little over mickey mouse….but was highly entertained by the disney fanatics on the ship-OMG!
and our boys loved it!!! we swam with stingrays in the caymans,  and snorkeled with baraccudas in cozumel!
will i cruise again? of course!!!! we LOVE cruises! but we will take disney out of the equation…..less kids and a smaller ship = ideal!
however, the ship was awesome….saw some beautiful lee jofa groundworks fabrics in the spa and adult restaurants! 






 and here's our new miniature golden doodle that we got to come home too. "buddy" is awesome!
