Fine Tuning Home Decor

After

This will be a series of before and after pictures 

of the rooms in my home that I recently fine tuned.

Before

Drapes were just pieces of fabric...

After

Drapes are custom made sheers with 

silk striped banding in pale yellow, blue and green,

 then bishop sleeved with french wired ribbon.

After

Fresh plants fill planters

After

A new linen toile pillow cover in romantic pale blue

Detail

Hydrangeas in an old soup tureen

Before
a little too colorful perhaps?

After

The bright rug was too much

 for my idea of how I wanted the 
room to look in the photo shoot

Before

I toned down the colorful accessories.

The green chair was removed for traffic flow.

After

Black needlepoint carpet from my office came here

and a new linen shaded lamp

Before

Two chairs...too many

After

One chair and one frenchy side table

After

Detail

Fresh roses and a victorian bell pull

Before

What to say...a cluttered mess
Yellow walls and a green valance.

After

I can breathe now after a quick paint job in  pale blue. 

Countertops I can see and a new light fixture from the dump!

Before

Old light and junk on top of the fridge

After

New custom sheer linen valance on white iron rod.

The valance has a little fleur`de`lis pattern.

A pretty vintage swagged light!

Mmmmm..I am lovin' this space now.

 Thats what happens when you find out a 

camera crew is coming to film your house in 72 hours!

You TWEAK

You PAINT

You REARRANGE STUFF

You HANG LIGHT FIXTURES

You DECLUTTER

You fine tune it so it sings the right song. 
I just can't rest when I know it can be better.
Now I am going to relax and enjoy.
