We’re stickin it to you!!

I love magnet boards. When I was younger (not so long ago), I loved to tape Andy Gibb posters to my wall. My mom was anti- tape, so I usually ended up getting the kabash put on my posters, movie tickets, and generally cool memorabilia.

Magnet boards solve that dilemma and man have they come a long way. They come in many different styles and colors to meet everyone’s needs – even moms. The can be old locker doors hung on the wall or ceiling tins turned magnet board. We even take old frames and fill them with metal for a formal yet funky look. Cool magnets are the icing on the cake. We like flowers, scrabble pieces, and Hot Wheel cars! vroom!!!

Wall O Fame!

Do you sometimes feel over run with mementos. You just can’t fit all of your magical memories into  just the family room bookcases? A display wall is the answer. Mix the past with the present by flaunting your amazing photos and one-of a kind trinkets. Put it all together so that it tells the unique story of your family, friends and interesting adventures.  

Create your own wall of fame that features your favorite letters from your kids, photos of your grandparents and inspirational quotes.

Oh, the stories your shelves can tell!

I LOVE my Job!

I have to say, I have the BEST clients. In most instances, I have to be dragged away from their homes kicking and screaming when our project ends.  We have formed a bond through their project.  I have seen most of them at their best and worst and many in their pajamas too!  The good news is that we usually stay in touch and hopefully one of us devises a new plan or project so that we never really cut the cord.

One of my clients wrote the greatest recommendation on Angie's List for us.

"Bob and Jami walked us through every step of the redesign and remodel projects from Oct-May. Came out to meet with us in person when any questions arose, and were available to communicate via email, text and phone almost anytime day or night, weekend or weekday. Worked many Saturdays in order to get finished faster. Worked with our budget and provided options to save but also encouraged us to spend our money for maximum impact and longevity. Their staff of carpenters, painters, laborers, and designers were always friendly and energetic. Their contracted services were quick and any problems that arose were handled quickly and exceeded our expectations."


This made me so giddy!  I felt like Sally Fields winning the Oscar, "You like me, you really like me."
As a designer I strive to make all of my client's happy by doing creative, budget-friendly work.  I want them to be "Wowed" by my ideas and service.  And although I don't have a red carpet to walk and don't get an award in the end....I walk away with a new friend and a happy heart!

I LOVE my job and clients~!

Out On a Limb!

I LOVE my job.    One of the perks is meeting cool people.  I recently met a spunky 12-year-old girl that really inspired me.  She loves so many things about life -- football, geckos, nature, red, gold and circles are just a few things we discussed in our initial meeting.  I left that meeting knowing that I needed to WOW this girl and give her a space that is as special and unique as she is.

First things first -- Lily needed to pull down the fatheads so that we could get started!!  We began the makeover by painting her walls French Roast and her ceiling metallic gold.  Then, we painted a gold tree branch across the walls and added red paper leaves for effect.

AFTER

We built a custom headboard using alternating wood slats and also added custom red patent leather cornice boards.  We added in a "Wall of Fame" for her football jerseys (yes, she plays!) and a shelving for her trophies.

I love how the room turned out -- a unique color scheme and design for a very inspired girl who inspired this girl to go out on a limb!

OOOH AHHH Spa!

A gorgeous spa bathroom is a must-have when you are a mom of a toddler!  Nothing says AHHH like a hot bath and glass of wine.   And,  "AHHH" is exactly what we gave the Hortons this month when we did a major overhaul on their bathroom.

Custom vanities, flooring, lighting and wall finishes make this bathroom a great retreat

We took the bathroom down to the studs and started over with a new tub and shower area, custom cabinetry, unique tile work and creative metallic wall finishes.







The bathroom has a chic spa-like vibe and a lock on the door -- what else do you need??

Dude!

I have a special place in my designer heart for boy's rooms.  Being the mom of 3 boys myself, I know room ideas for the dudes can be lame (as my boys would say).  Guys today need spaces as rad as they are and with just as much energy.


We recently finished Evan's room and I think it captured his vibe completely!





We started by painting his walls and then adding a metallic silver and bronze wave above his bed.  We threw in some custom pillows on his sea blue bedding.
