Weekend Recap: Sneak Peeks
My install on Friday went really late, but it went well. It was literally 8pm and I was waiting for the last toss pillow to be sewed on my way to clients apartment. Craziness.
I was working on a kitchen nook, dining room and living room that was being installed for a big housewarming bash the very next day. I would love to say I was able to take a ton of pictures, but due to tiredness and the fact that nothing was really 100% finished when I left the full reveal pictures will have to wait.
I did manage to sneak one picture in to give you all an idea of the look we were going for.
We (me and lovely client) were going for a conservatory/library, but modern feel for her dining room.
Our inspiration was Sara Costello’s drool worthy kitchen/dining room:
We got an amazing rustic dining table of course on install day in looked like this:
Sorry I didn’t get more pictures, but don’t worry I’ve already emailed client and asked her to take some shots and email them to me so that I can share with all!
Saturday was filled with cleaning up the house and finishing up a project I started a couple of weeks ago.
Remember I decided to be nutty and get rid of my perfectly good bed and have Jon build me a new one?
After some work the first weekend in August we had this:
We finished it up this weekend and I’m in love:
Our euro shams cover it up a bit, but I still had to add them to the bed and see what it would look like:
*Also because you all know me I’m currently having new euro shams and toss pillows made! But should be finished this week and then I can check off another room finished.
Working a DIY post to share with all how we made it. Trying to post it this afternoon, but I may need Jon’s help for all the dirty details so it maybe a Tuesday morning post. 🙂
What were you all up to? NY was raining on Sunday so we were able to sleep late, attend a family get together and then back to back for Sunday night TV!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
I'm still dying over your wallpaper! Love it! Also, did you make your own headboard or buy? I've been searching for a carpenter in the DC area to have a headboard made for my bedroom. No luck yet! xo

totally in love with your new bed, I cant wait to see the rest of the bedroom pics- everything is coming together so well, soon you will be done, yeahhhh!!!
I cannot wait to see how you made the bed! That is next on our to-do list. (Our mattress is currently on the floor…) I know, sad.
Loved the inspiration photos. Hope to see more "afters" soon!
Your wallpaper and headboard look so beautiful together! I love the green graphic pillow, too!
Good luck with your projects and keep us posted, please. Love your blog!
your bedroom looks AMAZING
It all looks GREAT! Keep it up!!
Holy crap…an install and building a new bed, all in one weekend! I'm spinning just thinking about it!
It all looks wonderful, and can't wait to see the pictures.
Wow it all looks just wonderful.
Wow, the wallpaper is fabulous! Can't wait to see everything.
And, I love the fabric for your client's drapes. Beautiful work.
Yes I agree with everyone else that wallpaper is awesome!
Those drapes are fab and REALLY mirror Sarah Costello's room ( a fave of mine, too).
I also LOVE the dining table, would you source it for me if possible? Thank you!
Thanks for all the sweet words.
The entire bed was custom made by us and all upholstered. We got our inspiration from the Collette Bed available at C&B for 1,599!http://www.crateandbarrel.com/furniture/beds/colette-bed/f1480
Ours came in at much, much, much less. We didn't do nailhead trim on ours, but it could totally be done.
The dining room table in my clients home is available here:http://www.claytongrayhome.com/item.php?item_id=724&category_id=69 for 2,300. It's on the pricey side, but if you hire a decorator (like me 🙂 ) that shares her to the trade discount with you it's much less and totally doable.

LOVE the blue curtains in the clients dining room. Where are they from?
The curtains in your client's dining room are FAB! What is the fabric?
Where did you find the wallpaper? I absolutely LOVE it. kwhitehead18@hotmail.com
I'm really liking the fabric in your clients home!
The new bed looks great!
Fabric is from Brunswig and Fils. Can't find it on their site at the moment.
Fabric for clients curtains is Annie Selks Links. I love it. It comes in a couple of different colorways and available at a bunch of places. I ordered it at housefabric.com
Love how your wall paper looks with the fabric! So pretty. The pillows are so cute.
Love the drapes in your clients home!That's one of the best fabrics around
Have I mentioned how batty I am over your wallpaper? I know you got it for a steal, and I SO wish I could paper a wall in our casa {sigh} I am using that green in paint for the nursery, so I'm sorta quenching my thirst!
