DILLWYN ROAD PROGRESSION: PART 2

I LOVE COMING BACK TO THIS HOUSE. 
WHY?
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND FUN TO LOOK AT!
YOU MAY REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WE WERE HERE….
THIS TIME, WE HAD A FEW MORE FURNITURE PIECES COME IN…..
BUT LOOK AT THE BEAUTIFUL EXTERIOR! MY CLIENT HAS SUCH AMAZING TASTE-SHE ADDED THE ADORABLE FRONT PORCH OVERHANG AND NEW SIDING AND PAINT……
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

HERE'S WHAT IS LOOKED LIKE A FEW MONTHS AGO…WHO KNEW THERE WAS EVEN MORE POTENTIAL LEFT? MY CLIENT DID-SHE RECOGNIZES EVERY OUNCE OF POTENTIAL…I NEED HER OVER TO MY HOUSE!

AND HERE ARE A FEW OF THE NEW PIECES JUST IN!
DYING OVER THIS GRASSCLOTH NAILHEAD COFFEE TABLE. LOVE THE TEXTURE IN THIS SPACE-VERY COOL.

AND THE NEW ENTERTAINMENT CONSOLE PROVIDES HIGH STYLE, STORAGE, AND THE LARGE SCALE MAKES THE ROOM FEEL BIGGER…SCORE!

IN THE OFFICE, WE INSTALLED WOVEN WOODS AND THESE TEXTURED VELVET PANELS….REALLY COOL EFFECT IN THE SPACE!

WHAT A PRETTY CHEST IN THE MASTER!

AND COORDINATING DRESSING TABLE...

WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE A PERFECT FIT INSIDE THIS AWKWARD SPACE….
MAXIMIZING STORAGE IN THE MASTER.

IN THE LIVING ROOM…NEW COFFEE TABLE….LOVE IT!!

CANT WAIT FOR MY NEXT VISIT!


MY LATEST OBSESSION: DOROTHY DRAPER AND CARLETON VARNEY AT THE GREENBRIER

I SPENT THE PAST FEW DAYS WITH MY SISTERS AND PARENTS AT THE GREENBRIER…..AND HAD A GREAT GREAT TIME!
THE HIGHLIGHT?
WELL, THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS WERE STAYING THERE…..THIS WAS A HUGE BONUS (AND THEY WERE THE ABSOLUTE SWEETEST GUYS EVER!!!)

BUT, THE DOROTHY DRAPER DESIGNED INTERIORS ARE AMAZING…..AND CARLETON VARNEY DOES AN AMAZING JOB MAINTAINING THE DRAPER LOOK THROUGHOUT!…. SERIOUS EYE CANDY!!
















THANKS MOM AND DAD!


THE EXTERIOR OF OUR HOUSE: PART 2

 if you remember last week's post , you may be wondering what attracted us to buy our house in the first place….it needed tons of work and wasn't very attractive! 
the reason?
THE WATER!!! and the yard!!
when we bought this house 10+ years ago, it was around 1700 sq ft…..2 kids later, we were pretty cramped!
 time to add on!!!…we basically doubled the size of the house and now it's ideal. we vaulted every ceiling on the second floor so it no longer felt like a claustrophobic cape cod... and we maxed out the windows on the back to enjoy the river views.





not crazy about the table….but it was inherited from my parents after they
 downsized….works for now...
trash storage
, 


BEFORE AND AFTER: THE EXTERIOR OF OUR HOUSE

THIS WAS OUR HOUSE 10 YEARS AGO RIGHT BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT….WE FLEW IN FROM DENVER AND LITERALLY HAD 24 HOURS TO PUT SOMETHING UNDER CONTRACT!!
YES, THE HOUSE WAS UGLY….BUT IT COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE….ANYTHING WOULD BE AN IMPROVEMENT!!
NEW WINDOWS, PAINT, RAILINGS, LANDSCAPING, DOOR, LIGHTING, ETC…..
WE JUST FINISHED THE LAST PROJECT…HARDSCAPE! 
THE NEW WALKWAY AND DRIVEWAY WAS THE LAST ON THE LIST. 
HOUSE IS FINISHED!!
(FOR NOW!)

GOODSPEED ROAD EVOLUTION IN PROGRESS

SO FUN COMING BACK TO THIS AMAZING HOUSE AT THE BEACH!!
I WORKED ON THIS HOUSE 9 YEARS AGO WHILE IT WAS BEING BUILT….HOW KIND OF THE HOMEOWNER TO INVITE ME BACK!
THE HOMEOWNER WANTED TO TRANSFORM  HER DAUGHTER'S TEENAGER STYLE ROOM  INTO A BEAUTIFUL MORE MATURE BEDROOM…...PERFECT FOR A YOUNG 20-SOMETHING WHEN SHE'S VISITING HOME FROM HER D.C CAREER LIFE!


AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE MIXING ANTIQUES WITH SOME CONTEMPORARY...

AND NOW THE GUEST ROOM…..
THE PLAN…..
