Dollhouse

This little ballerina is getting a dollhouse for Christmas!


 My husband and I are taking the dollhouse I got for Christmas when I was my daughter's age and giving it a make-over.  I am so excited because I get to take an entire house and decorate it from head to toe...it is going to be my "Ode to Sixx Design" Dollhouse.


The Outside CLEARLY Needs a Lift....






Would LOVE to Make the Outside Have Punch to it....

Check out the FABULOUS Front Porch Light Fixture....LOVE


The Inside is a Blank Canvas (that needs some MAJOR wall repair)




Fun, Playful and Super Modern is What I am Going For

End Tables

 Are hard to find!  They are either too short or too square,  not enough surface area to put a lamp - the list goes on.  I have been looking for several clients over the years and here are some of my favorite solutions...

Skirted Tables 

Are great because you can make them any size you want, add some color to your space by covering them with a fabric in a great color or beautiful print and the best part about them is that you can store TONS underneath and no one will ever know


Painted Chests

look so pretty on either side of a bed - very soft and pretty.  This piece is from Amy Howard Collection and can be done in several finishes...LOVE!



Antique Side Tables

you will have forever - they obviously never go out of style and they look BEAUTIFUL.  True investment pieces.  Check out   Kim Faison Antiques in Richmond, Va - she has the most beautiful pieces and so many great tables that can work in pairs you may need a new house or a truck to put everything in from her shop....

Spool Chair

I have been pretty obsessed with the Spool Chair the past couple of years...they are actually super comfortable and can be very handsome if you keep them in wood and leather or extremely sophisticated in a bright color or fabric.  They are great as a pair or all alone.  Perfect for a family room, casual living room or that perfect bedroom chair...I have several sources for them...LOVE!

Royal Wedding

My three year old daughter is absolutely obsessed with princesses, she had an "Ariel" cake for her birthday party, she was "Belle" for Halloween and the list goes on....so when I heard the news yesterday that Prince William had proposed I got a little caught up in the idea of a royal wedding.  I vividly remember watching Lady Diana and Prince Charles getting married as a child and how mesmerizing it was to watch (still can't figure why I didn't make it to princess status).  So I am getting excited at the thought of what designer Kate is going to wear on her wedding day, and how she is going to inspire the design industry in the years to come as her mother-in-law did........don't tell anyone - but I can't wait!

ART

You all will quickly see how much art means to me and how much it inspires me...it can totally transform a room and I sometimes encourage clients to hold off on the new chair and invest in the perfect piece of art...

All images are from www.paulamartha.com ...I love the way they make each room pop with a fabulous piece of ART
