New Work - #projectmuraledmaster


I want to say a large thanks to those of you who gave me some thoughts re: Monday's post...turns out you want to see more design work etc. so I'll be doing my best to oblige, starting today;)

First things first though, a little professional good news on my end...

I spent yesterday filming my latest segment for Steven & Chris...my very exciting news on that front is that I'm now an official 'expert' on the show, which means I'll be appearing regularly...so, so honoured...pinching myself actually...total.dream.come.true...though admittedly, it was never a dream I actually dreamed of or thought about until it started happening...but now that's it happening, I so love it...I've even found myself channeling the 'I'll have my own show one day' thing during that sweet hot yoga time known as Shavasana.

Fingers crossed on that front.

In the meantime, I've been keeping busy on the design work side of things...building up that portfolio as it were.

I've recently started work on the master bedroom of client whose kitchen eating area I worked on a while back.

Getting return clients is just about as good as it gets for us designer types...feels really swell.

And these clients, well, you simply couldn't ask for more....so sweet and easy to work with...they know their budget, stick to it, and are so incredibly resourceful when it comes to finding amazing options are fabulous and money friendly.

I heart them large.

For this particular project, said clients asked me for help with their master, with this as their inspiration bank...

Love the combination of wood, black and white, gold with the mint walls. Like that the trims are painted the same color as the walls. Lime green accent.

Can do something like this with the mural

Love the color combo, touches of gold. Colorful floor/rug'

This color is more vivid than our bedroom color, but I think it's in the same "family" I like the black and white and gold combination with the wall color.

Minty colored bedroom

Minty walls...murals...bold accent colours...giddy up my friends.

And after a few back and forths with particulars...






...we've officially decided on this loveliness...


...which involves these particulars:

1. Minty walls with gold mouldings...along these lines...


colour combinations are great its just a matter of living with it for a while or until you can afford to change it if you didn't get it right, love this

2. A large wall to wall mural behind the bed courtesy of anewall...


3. An upholstered bed...deciding between these two, which are PS, both under $550...

Aiden Nail-Head Bed, Black


4. An incredible vintage overdyed rug...

5. A little modern mixed with vintage lighting action...

...just so you know, that last fixture is from CL and costs, 10 bones...yup...it's true.

7. Some IKEA pax goodness, transformed into this sort of dealio...

So yes...that's what is about to transpire and I'm quite chuffed about it all.

Just goes to show you that you don't always have to spend a ton boat of money to get some pretty fab results.

I'll hopefully have a reveal to you in the coming month.

  6. Lurve it all, especially the good news. My dream, for serious. Well deserved, my chica. Aces on the gold trim - working on some gold trim as we speak in my master for the updated closet doors to replace the no good, very bad, long sliders.

  13. I'm a new reader and I love your style! Just checked out the Etsy seller of the vintage rug that you linked to in this post, and I'm considering getting one of the rugs. Just wondering if you've had any experience with that seller and how the rug turned out. And I'm looking forward to continuing to follow you!

Smooches to everyone who perservered and left a sweet comment anyways! xoxo
