Canyon Crest: Boy's Bedrooms

More little boy's rooms today!  We all know how I feel about using 'themes' in kids rooms 

(well, any room for that matter) and in the 

CANYON CREST BOY'S BEDROOMS

we incorporated elements of sports in one and transportation in the other. 

We did this all through small accessories which can be easily be replaced with little to no cost.  

Remember to keep the basic elements classic and bring in character through accessories. 

You will get a whole heck of a lot more mileage out of your room!

The hooks are from Anthropologie and we sprayed them in navy.  

Don't forget what a little spray paint can do to customize your pieces!

Can I tell you how much I adore knit stuffed animals? So vintage-y chic, I could die!

Canyon Crest: Nursery Suite

Hello Loverlies! I'm hope everyone had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I'll be posting pics of my explorations of Downtown Columbus I took over the weekend, but first, 

we need to get through a few more reveals.  Today's reveal is on the 

CANYON CREST NURSERY SUITE.

This precious baby was my client's first girl so the client had two request:

PINK AND PURPLE. 

These colors can be tricky to work with, as they can get too 'little girl' real fast. 

There is definitely a fine line between chic and saccharine. 

Our first jumping off point was the amazing Anna French wallpaper from Thibaut.  

The pretty calla lily print on a light purple irridescent background is jaw dropping in person.  

I paired this paper with Benjamin Moore's Pink Cloud paint and we had
the perfect background for this little princess's room.

A fluffy flokati rug and relaxed roman shades in a contemporary fabric help 

keep this room youthful but not too childish. 

We had a limited budget in the en suite bathroom so we used some budget-friendly tricks. 

We swapped out the Tuscan rustic mirror for a chunky white framed mirror from TJ Maxx and 

splurged on pink rose knobs from Anthropologie.

Canyon Crest: Family Room + Dining Room

I'm excited to introduce you to the CANYON CREST home!

This home was purchased by my client a little more than a year ago and though it wasn't a total gut job, it was pretty darn close.  The first time I stepped into the family room I thought to myself  "this is where taxidermy goes to die."  Almost every member of the deer family was represented on the walls: elk, buffalo, antelope... all staring at you from two stories up. CRREEEEEPPPPYYYYY... 

(to see before shots of this space as well the custom furniture process, click here).

 Needless to say, this home was a little more rustic than my client's personal taste. First thing we did was rip out worn shaggy carpet (can we PLEASE get over that trend?) and replaced it with a loop pile broadloom that resembled sisal (MUCH more tailored and timeless).  We repainted the faux-plastered walls in Kwal's Old Washer and restained a lot of the stain grade baseboards.  This proved to be the perfect facelift!! It did wonders. Once we had the base of the room squared away, it was just a matter of layering in a fun elements, like a rug from Anthropologie, a huge custom ottoman in a Celerie Kemble fabric, and lattice wingback chairs from Bassett Furniture.

For the kitchen and dining space, there were two existing stains: a honey tone on the knotty alder and a dark java.  Since we wanted to add as much light into this space as possible, we painted out all the dark java elements, namely, the oven range area, island, and built-in china hutch.  We replaced the dated Tuscan lighting fixtures with more contemporary glass pendants adding even more brightness to the space.

Add in custom designed wingback dining chairs, farmhouse table and bright rugs and accessories, 

and you have yourself a fresh vintage rustic space!

To jazz up the built-in china hutch, we also wallpapered the back of the cabinet in a pretty blue geometric print.  Having the colored background really makes the accessories pop!

Perfect Pair: Yellow + Grey

Spring is right around the corner... right?  RIGHT? Well, maybe it's just wishful thinking.  Today it should get up to 38 degrees and I'm over the moon excited about it.  I'm over this teens business.  If I can't will Spring here any faster, at least we have beautiful bright interiors to inspire us!  What better than the perfect combination of yellow paired with grey?

I am DIEING over the gloves.  There is nothing more chic than shoulder length gloves scrunched down to the forearm.  They are the perfect shade of grey, too.

Anthropologie

My sister and I are going to attempt to make this quilt from Anthro next week.  It looks like we're in for a LOT of work, but I'll let you know how it goes!  Love me a little DIY.
