Designing Women

Today I toted along Lydia for my design appointment, which will most likely happen fairly often since I don't have someone to leave her with. I borrowed a baby carrier from my sister-in-law so that I could still hold her but have my hands free to take pictures, measure, etc. She had a blast! She loved being in on all the action as I snapped photos and pulled out my paint deck in front of her to match colors.

This is the very cool building in the Avenues that we went to. It is almost 100 years old. The elevator had bars that slide across the opening once you have entered.


My client is still deciding if this is the right home for him. I gave him my thumbs up, as it has beautiful upgrades done my the current owner, along with great views, beautiful wooden floors, and is undoubtedly a beautiful condo! I mean take a peak at this kitchen!

My Favorite Way to Hide Toys in My Family Room

By
We were is desperate need of something to hide toys in our family room.  In addition, I really needed something to go along the back our loveseat.  Below, is basically the view you get when you walk into our home.  I didn't want people to walk in & the first thing they see is the bare back of our loveseat. One day, I was meandering around TJ Maxx & spotted this cute storage ottoman.  Right away, I knew it needed to come home with me! It has proved to be a fantastic purchase for us!  My kids can easily get toys in & out of it.  It is also a very convenient place to sit & put your shoes on before heading out the door.  In addition, it can easily be moved around to the main sitting area if extra seating is ever needed. You KNOW you have made a good purchase when your husband has said TWICE, "Melissa, buying that ottoman was a really good idea."  Need some other ideas on how to hide toys?   Cute baskets/bo...

I apologize for being a little MIA on this blog lately!  Life has been busy lately working with local clients, my family visiting, & working on our newly purchased home. Recently, I completed a project that I would like to share.  A local church hired me to help them redecorate their foyer area.  They wanted something new, fresh & modern that would go along with the existing paint, flooring, and lighting.
