Now that we see the pictures, these chandeliers are truly magnificent.  However, hanging them took a very tall ladder and four of us most of a day.  They catch both the natural and man-made lights in such a unique and ever-changing way.  Yes, well worth the effort, especially because Patty likes them so much!

As some of you may know, this year I removed                                                                                      
all the Tuscan furnishings and decor from my
home and replaced it with mid-century Modern. 
Gone is the carpet and all those rugs, the huge
sofa, chair and bar stools.  Gone is all of that
gold, rust and …

Colors affect us all.  Each of the 6 basic colors have characteristics based on physiology, psychology and cultural studies.  And each of those colors has a specific meaning regardless of its value(tan is brown with white added,  pink is red with white added.)  The meanings of the colors can give us insights into our personalities.  And, as we always say, if we can get our surroundings to mirror our personalities back at us, that’s when we are the most comfortable, the happiest.  So let’s talk about these basic characteristics by …

  While this statement isn’t new in the world of design, it might be to those of you who thought they went way out of their comfort zone when they changed the color of their interiors from mostly white to mostly beige.  But that might have been years ago and now you might be looking for a refresh.  While still in the realm of “safe”, gray-is-up to date, neutral, and supports its surroundings with a sophisticated understatement.  Worth a thought if you want a change that’s not too radical.

I met Joanie at a What Women Want conference, and was intrigued by her displays.  She worked with us redoing our major living areas, including kitchen, entry and great room.  We did floors, furnishings, window coverings and accessories.  She took our love of nature and color and made our home both comfortable and beautiful.  We loved working with her as she listened to what we wanted and was very enthusiastic about the improvements she could make. We had a WONDERFUL experience working with Joanie….Linda in Washington
 
 

A quick and easy way to update any small bathroom is to add a bath drape. Mounting a short drapery rod on the ceiling, and then adding a stationery drapery with coordinating colors adds texture and interest without breaking the bank!

Just wanted to share a photo and customer’s comments about a completed project.  Check our Gallery for more Neal’s home photos.

“Avis created my retirement haven!   I had two years to redecorate the lower level of my new Las Vegas home in anticipation of my move from Los Angeles.  We completed the work in stages and within budget.  As the surroundings evolved, each time I visited it was “WOW, what a difference!”  In fact, I was so happy with the interior, I asked her to landscape the exterior.  I am glad I …

We needed to update an outdated Summerlin kitchen with the dreaded fluorescent ceiling light….  Our contractor redid the ceiling entirely; we added recessed lights, a drum shade over the table and, yes, a fan with a downlight.  (No, it doesn’t cool off the food – just the chef….)  Then we replaced the dated countertops with granite and installed a backsplash of pseudo-”mother-of-pearl” mosiac tiles.  Now they create dinners in style!

 
Melanie and Alan wanted to be able to share “office space” so we created a functional yet attractive, efficiently appointed office for two.

Whew! Seems like I just got this completed, but its been over 2 months now. They are, hopefully, enjoying this completely redone space. We tore out the tub, and replaced it with the oversized shower, added a standing linen closet, and a small one on the counter tops. We then infused the whole area with spa features, like double shower heads and the Delta Infiniti dual shower head (stationery and hand-held). Topped it off with travertine and a spa color and Wow!
