Ticking Stripe chair

July 15, 2014 by Shelley

Chair–BEFORE

My client repurposed this family room chair for her daughters room. The Grand Design did a great job designing and putting together this “Paris Themed” room!

Chair–AFTER! Tan/cream ticking stipe with a gathered skirt added softness to this unique shaped chair. Such a great shape!

The whole room turned out magical! I am sure their daughter will be thrilled with the results!

Look at this great idea! They removed the closet doors and added this barn sliding door! Great architectural detail!

Side Note—Had a great time Camping at Carlsbad State beach with the neighbors! Here are a few of my favorite pics!

Here’s our annual obligatory photo at the top of the stairs before we drive home. We took two of the boys friends with us this year. Everyone had a great time…I did spend most of my time sunscreening all these boys.

We always joke that our friends are giants! Here’s a photo to prove it. These boys tore it up boogie boarding all week long!

This was our first night there…the kids swam until dark! 7 families with 28 kids! It was a party! Crazy and fun all at the same time!

All the big boys shared a tent and parked all their long boards out front.

Blue/White Stripe Chair

This is my first post on my new wordpress site. I have no idea what I am doing!

Oh some exciting news…I am offering a 20% off promo code for all my tutorials. Use Promo code “SUMMER” till Midnight 7/4/14.

This space had been redesigned by TheGrandeDesign for their clients teenage daughter. They pulled the chair from the master bedroom to repurpose it in this space. I love how well all the colors look together and all the bold prints. Definitely an amazing space!

BEFORE–burgandy Chenille chair that was being used in another room.

The Grande Design did a great job designing this space!

Love the way this turned out!

I ended up sewing ribbon on those front corners and tied them underneath behind the front legs of the chair to hold it taught.

SIDE NOTE#1—Summer vacation is always a party! Whether I’m driving the boys and their friends to the store to buy treats or taking them to the mountain to look for snakes or driving them to the top of Unity pass to longboard home–I love it and love being available for them. I’m sticking to my 2 day work week during summer break, so please be patient with me while I work through my wait list.

Can’t wait for our annual camping at Carlsbad State beach with 6 other families from the neighborhood. The kids have been talking about it for months! Last week I found some cheap flights on Allegiant Air to Honolulu during Christmas Break. We’ve been talking about getting the whole family to Hawaii again, so we bought our flights! Did I mention how much I love trips?! Oh and I may have booked Belize as well for a couples trip in January–Oh man I need to simmer down! I did get it on a Living Social Deal for $540 with a 10% off promo code. Now I’m trying to get enough sky miles to book our flights for free!

#2–Camille and I helped our friend Brooke stage her mantel the other day after an excursion to the local Thrift Store! Turned out AMAZING!

White Linen Chair and Settee

April 11, 2014 by Shelley

Lorraine is one of my repeat clients that I have had forever! I love when she calls and we get to add another beautiful piece to her amazing home!

Chair—BEFORE–it did have the original Red/cream buffalo check slipcover on it, but I forgot to take the before pic with it on.

CHAIR—AFTER–White linen from Joanns. Lorraine was nervous about it being too thin, so I fully lined the whole slipcover with muslin. Triple fullness on the gathered skirt, and arm pads for extra protection against wear and tear.

I added 1″ for drag on the skirts.

SETTEE—BEFORE! This was for her master bedroom and was sorely missed while I was working on it. Apparently it’s everyones favorite seat.

Settee–AFTER! This one is fully lined with muslin as well, and a set of arm pads to keep it nice.

I love all her vintage pieces and collectibles!

SIDE NOTES

– This week was spring break for the kids so we headed south to St. George where its a bit warmer. We went to Sand Hollow State Park to try out our new paddle boards. This place was AMAZING! They call it “Little Lake Powell”.

There were tons of rocks to jump off–kids loved it. The water was still a bit chilly in April, but it was 80 degrees out–so we can’t complain!

We also headed to Zions National Park and hiked Angels Landing. The boys did great. It was a bit of a crazy hike! We originally planned on paddle boarding that day, but when we got to the reservoir it was way too WINDY! So we headed to Zions in swim suits, swim dress, and flip flops for our hike.

Here we are at the top of Angel’s Landing! At least the boys had tennis shoes on! Heber let me wear his water shoes (we are the same size) and he hiked the whole thing in flip flops! As for me I made do and tied my dress up and enjoyed the crazy 5 mile hike. Like I always tell my boys…”Find a Solution.”
