Adding Cheer To A Home

We made a trip to New Mexico today to add color to a home and add some cheer for a sweet customer that needed a little Spring pick me up! Love the touches of pink peonies, drooping hot pink tulips and yellow forcythia...and I can’t wait to order the book “The Velveteen Principals-A Guide To Becoming Real”.

Before & After: Loft Living Space

Before & After: A precious busy family needing more living space in their home has turned their garage into a loft-style apartment. Love the grey shiplap and simplicity of this room they have created it just needed a fun feel! Now it is a perfect space for a quiet reading nook, a place for her sweet mother to visit, and a retreat for their sleepy college son. Our favorite accessories we added are the leather butterfly chairs, whiskey grain sack pillows, large blackboard, plaid rustic lamps, and grey ruched bedding. Grandmother Ruby’s paintings feel right at home now in this new relaxing space!
