MOTHER'S DAY GIFT GUIDE

"When I was a child, my mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general. If you become a monk you'll end up as the pope.' Instead I became a painter and wound up as Picasso."

- Pablo Picasso

BATHROOM RE-MODEL

If you have been reading my blog you know that I have a deep affection for tile.  Right now I am currently working on two different bathroom re-models, both very different price points and style.

So, last week I went to the Walker Zanger showroom to research products and also to get design ideas.  They added some new products since my last visit so I thought I would share. 

 Beautiful shade of blue!

slab selection......so many choices!

I love this color combo. 

running vertical subway tiles...mixes it up a bit

My lovely assistant desperately trying to wash her hands with the display.

 Depending on the price point sometimes just researching the trends with the higher end tile manufacturers and then going to a more reasonably priced vendor like Dal (some of their products are at home depot) and re-creating the look for less is a great way to save.

Just a couple more days left for my first GIVEAWAY.  Make sure to FOLLOW!!

FAMILY ROOM Before & After

I LOVED working on this room!!  The wall color and area rug in the room were such great pieces to build from.   

THIS IS THE FAMILY ROOM BEFORE

The room was off to a great start and only needed a few things to complete the look.  I wanted to add the turquoise wall color on the TV wall as well as add an over-sized Coffee Table, taller lamps (I like TALL lamps), a grouping of 4 chairs and accent pillows.

AFTER

Thanks to Ashlee Raubach for all of the "After" photos!


RESOURCES

Paint:  Martha Stewart-Sea Glass
