Client Project Updates

How about I bring you up to speed on one of the projects I've been working on?

Remember this dining room project?

Actually, let's back up.  Here's the only photo I could find of the dining room when I started working with my clients.

I'm not sure if I shared this with you but my clients' inspiration for their dining room was this photo. Turquoise, blue and white traditional goodness.

My client loved the Farrow & Ball Lotus paper so we created a similar look with a stencil. And when I say "we", I mean the decorative artists we hired.

Most recently we changed out the chandelier.  Here's what they had before.

Big and brassy. Although it was a very good quality fixture, we opted for something with a lighter feel. (Thanks, Kimber!)

We also added a new mirror and a pair of blue & white porcelain lamps (I adore the lucite bases)  over the antique buffet my clients purchased at Scott's in Atlanta.

All we have left are the dining room chairs, the window treatments and just a few accessories.  I like to keep it simple in the dining room.  Entertaining is stressful enough without having to remove dozens of tchochkes to make room function properly.

That's all I got for now.  Stay tuned for more updates on this project and a few others I've got cooking.

Oh, and any guesses as to what type of chairs my clients are leaning toward?

Favorite Etsy Stencils

Happy wet Wednesday!  It's been pouring buckets since yesterday afternoon and should continue for the rest of the day.  No worries, when the weather turns foul outside it's the perfect opportunity to tackle a diy project.  Stenciling comes to mind as one of those projects I would love to explore.  Stenciling has several advantages over wallpaper - it's much less expensive, you can customize the colors to suit your palette, and when you get tired of it, you can simply paint over it!


Etsy is a goldmine for stencil patterns - here are a few of my favorites.

Whimsical water lily stencil from Etsy seller Olive Leaf Stencils

Acacia pattern from Etsy seller Cutting Edge Stencils

This is the perfect solution if  the Cole & Son birch wallpaper is out of your budget. Silver Birch Branches, also from Olive Leaf Stencils

Ikat pattern from Olive Leaf Stencils

from Royal Design Stencils - add Ibuprofen to your materials list if you try this.

Cutting Edge Stencils

Nadya from Cutting Edge Stencils

 The Swedish Floral from Cutting Edge Stencils is understated and charming - I like it!

And on the opposite end of the spectrum, you can go bold with this giant squid stencil from Olive Leaf.

Find these and pages more at Etsy.

Hope it's sunny where you are!
