World's Longest Yard Sale

Friday, August 6, 2010

It's that crazy weekend when bargain hunters whip out their fanny packs and brave the oppressive heat to search for bargains at The World's Longest Yard Sale.  I will be among them!  The WLYS literally runs through my back yard on Lookout Mountain then picks up again on Signal Mountain.  Not yet sure which route I'm going to take but hopefully my return home will look something like this.



Pictures Monday!  Have a cool weekend.

Schumacher Designer Collaborations

Tuesday, August 3, 2010

Have you heard the saying "two heads are better than one"?  I believe that even if you already do something really well - sometimes the input of another talent takes your product/idea to a whole new (and gorgeous) level! Thankfully the powers that be over at Schumacher understand the beauty of great collaboration and have partnered up with some of my favorite stylemakers!


  


In my book, no one does it better than Celerie Kemble!






Love this embossed velvet!






Nothing updates a wing chair like a modern geometric print!



There is also  a collection by Matthew Patrick Smyth, which has a more tailored and masculine feel.









Trina Turk's collection is fresh, feminine and vibrant!

Which collaboration speaks to you?

Bliss in the Bathroom - Beautiful Floors!

Sunday, August 1, 2010

A great bathroom for me is a space that is functional, classic and simple in design.  Timeless materials are key and I really like to keep it simple when choosing flooring for the bathroom.  Here are my favorite options for bathroom floors.

I love these classic black & white marble tiles in a basketweave pattern.  They come in 12x12 sheets for faster and easier installation.





This white octagonal tile is readily available (usually in-stock at Home Depot).  I have it in my own master bath.  Great looking and easy on the budget!






Don't you like how they used the black liner on the walls and floors to separate the different tiles? You can pick these liner tiles up at Home Depot and Lowe's,too.



It may not be the most practical choice, but wood floors are a great way to bring some warmth into your bathroom.

  



Wood floors in the master bath of my other house.  (We have since installed the shelving and glass doors in the built-in over the tub)






I adore gray & white marble!  (even though it can be pricey)



Great hex pattern in carerra marble.





Especially fabulous in a herringbone pattern, right?


My girl Mary thinks so!


Here is an flooring option I have not tried but would love to.


These pebble floors are so textural and organic!  (and I imagine low maintenance, too) And how great would it be to start each morning with a mini foot massage!




Would you like to start each day in a bathroom that brings you bliss?  I have over a decade of experience renovating bathrooms and can handle everything from the design and planning to the final finishes!  Call Kim at the Green Room Interiors 423.653.3186 or emil thegreenroominteriors@gmail.com
