A new bathroom

Last year my parents completed a renovation on their house.  This bathroom was one of the last areas to be finished so I was able to help pick the finishes and fixtures when I was home this summer.  This space was previously a closet in the bonus room above the garage and has now been converted into a bathroom in order to create another bedroom suite on the second floor.  The bathroom has a neutral color palate with an accent of blue in the towels and rugs.

Fall into the season

As we all know the holidays are a crazy, hectic time.  This year, instead of trying to add one more event into the mix, my parents decided to beat the rush and host a "Fall into the season" party instead of the typical Christmas affair.

 The outdoor fireplace was one of my favorite areas adorned with magnolia leaves, a gourd filled wreath and many votives. 

Three square vases wrapped with monogrammed burlap ribbon along with magnolia leaves and mercury glass votives draped the mantle in the keeping room.  (Ribbon from Pottery Barn.)

The living room fireplace was dressed with live magnolia leaves and mercury glass votives.

A Wedding Shower

A wine themed shower this summer for a vineyard wedding.  White flowers, grapes and photos of the couple were used to make this shower unique to their wedding theme. 

A simple arrangement of roses, photograph of the couple and their initial awaits the arrival of guests.

 

Yummy desserts!

Flower arrangements flank engagement photos of the couple displayed on the mantle.

Hello Blogging World!

I have finally broken down and decided to check out the world of blogging.  I love reading blogs and seeing how people use them to express themselves.  My friends Ansley and Ashley have inspired me to make an attempt at creating my own blog!  Since I have a degree in Interior Design I am looking forward to sharing some of my design ideas and projects as well as a little bit about myself!  I'm hoping this can be a new creative outlet as I maneuver through the design world.  Hopefully ill get some new posts up quickly as I learn to navigate a blog! Thanks for stopping by!
