One Room Challenge Week Four


Oh my dear goodness, it's Week Four.  I'm keeping it super short today, because I'm horrifyingly behind on ORC, and I have a high school senior with college apps due. Not great timing.  Catch up on my project here.

I'm dying to see the painting Christina Baker is creating for Jane's entry.  Above is a sneak peek.  I can see that it's going to be breathtaking, and I cannot wait to see it hanging on the wall.  It will be the focal point of the entrance, and I know from experience how much Jane will love getting to enjoy Christina's art everyday.


The absolutely gorgeous Farrow and Ball All White is finally on the walls, and you can see what a difference the new new paint color creates. 



DecoratorsBest sent us this fantastic Lee Jofa fabric. The chair's just arrived back from the upholsterer's, and it's incredible.  


This is something to which I'm very much looking forward. Jane removed everything form her secretary, and I get free reign styling. Can you guess what I'll use?  : )
Here's a shot of Jane's fixture.  It's lovely, but Jane's wanting something with more weight.  We had a lantern chosen, but Jane decided against it.  And, everything else we saw.  She made the observation that there are four or five different styles, and many companies have their very similar version.  

I forgot I had this lantern, but ran across it while looking for something else.  I offered it to Jane, and she immediately saw the possibilities.  It's being refurbished which is actually fairly expensive. Using my old lantern won't save any money, but she's excited to have something a bit more unique. I'm really looking forward to seeing this transformed. 

Thank you for checking in on my ORC!

Blue and White Monday: Art

These two new amazing Christina Baker paintings were photographed hanging on a wall in Christina's studio before they were delivered recently to Bennet Galleries .  How I'd love to visit Christina's studio to see where all the magic takes place!  I can see that it's bright, clean, minimal, and sophisticated. As her paintings are always spectacular, it follows that her work space has to be gorgeous and inspirational.   Nightlife   Half Past Two Star Dust Not blue and white, but I love this one, don't you? I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to share it.   Star Dust is another new painting available at Bennet Galleries. .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .

The granny-chic style...

2014 Fall One Room Challenge || Final Week

Image
Thank you for coming to see my completed entrance hall. I redesigned our very tired and lifeless entry for The One Room Challenge. You can catch up and see "before" shots  here .  It's been so much fun working with this space, and I'm thrilled with the results.  How exciting to get to share it with you today! Above and below is the view from the front door. These are the beyond breathtaking panels that Christina Baker painted for the entry.  I'm not sure if from the photos you can get a true understanding of the impact these panels create.  In person they're even more beautiful, and I'm wanting to spend lots of time on the settee enjoying the view. Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. Besides these to-die-for paintings I get to enjoy everyday, it was fantastic getting to know and work with her. Her work is available at Gregg Irby Fine Art , and also can be seen on her site . And, here is the spectacular lant...
