Outdoor Christmas Decor Design Plan

It might be too early to decorate for Christmas, but it's not too early to plan! I had an EDesign client come to me for a design plan for Christmas decor for the exterior of her new home. If you feel inspired by any of my finds and would like to check them out, I'm sharing links to each item throughout this post. 

After consulting with my client, I learned that she likes traditional Christmas decor colors, but also appreciates fun elements like black buffalo plaid! I came up with a design plan that includes fresh greens along with faux greens and easily obtained merchandise from places like Amazon that she can use year after year!

Here is a look at the design plan I created for her...

You can purchase these rugs here:

 

You can purchase this wreath, garland and ribbon here:

You can purchase fresh cut 3' evergreen trees here.  

You can purchase these lanterns and candles at Potterybarn.

Simple Halloween Decor Hack Adding Wiggly Eyes to Photos

One of my favorite Halloween decor hacks is cheap, fun, and never gets old even though I've done it for years...sticking wiggley eyes to our family photos. It is absolutely hilarious. When I was a kid, I saw someone doing it on a decorating show...when I became a mom I still remembered it so I gave it a try. I discovered that black and white photos provide the most impact.

To create a pretty vignette around our wiggley eye gallery, I found an adorable gray leopard throw blanket on Amazon to layer over my accent chair. This blanket is very budget friendly and lends that elegantly-spooky look I'm going for this year. It's available in a slew of colors, I went with "Gray".

This cute lumbar pillow, also from Etsy, spells out the season so there is no mistaking our wiggley eye gallery for everyday decor!

You can find a pack of wiggley eyes in the craft aisle at Walmart for less than a dollar...

Here are links to the throw and pillow I purchased on Amazon. Best part...both are available on Prime!!

Gotta love inexpensive, simple and pretty Halloween decorations that blend in with your existing home decor (and show up quickly on your doorstep). Happy Halloween, Friends!

Before and After Bathroom Makeover Reveal - An EDesign Comes To Life

I currently have openings for new EDesign Projects. Please click here for more information. 

Today is an exciting day! I get to share before and after photos sent in to me by one of my EDesign Clients. I designed this bathroom makeover for this client through my Online Design Service (EDesign). She submitted photos of her space along with measurements, and after an online consultation with her I had a great idea of the look she was craving. I also got a feel for her project budget, style preferences and lifestyle. 

Here is a look at what the room looked like BEFORE...

I created a detailed custom design plan for her with step by step instructions on putting the new look together along with product source links to places like Home Depot, Pier 1, Etsy, Amazon and Wayfair. Once I delivered the plan to her, she got started implementing it. It turned out beautifully. One of my favorite parts about this project, is the  DIY project we incorporated into the design. 

Before I show you what this room looks like now, 

take a look at the design plan I created for her...

Here is a link to this DIY Project with instructions by Shanty 2 Chic.

Didn't they do a fantastic job implementing their new design? Another thing I love about this project, is that we use budget friendly, readily accessible, off-the-shelf materials, and they came together to look custom and high end. The art and DIY project shelves add a lot of personality and charm to the design making the space feel personalized and unique. 

Here is another look at some before and afters, side by side...

A Warm Spicy Kitchen, Fresh From The Design Studio

I currently have openings for new EDesign projects!

Today, I'd like to share a recent Kitchen Design Plan I created for an EDesign client.

She came to me for a plan to re-fresh her kitchen and give it a new look. With the open concept floor plan of her home, it was important that the new kitchen still flows with the adjacent areas. The living room is very close by, it's painted a gorgeous terra-cotta shade. The choices I made for her new kitchen look complement this paint color beautifully.

I added a new accent color to the scheme by pulling a few shades from a fantastic rug that I placed in the design. The rug is a stunner, it features shades of ivory, terra-cotta, brown, dark gray, and blue. I suggested that she paint her island in one of these accent colors to contrast with the new white cabinets. 

Here is a link to the rug:

Here is a look at the complete design plan.

This rug can be found here.
