Happy Nest

A big shout out to Marianne from France!  Today she featured me in a blog post from her own blog, called French Happy Nest.

Marianne writes  a fun blog about design, DIY, and raising small children.  I hope you'll check out her blog!

Hope you're doing something fun this weekend and enjoying the start to the summer.

Thanks again Marianne and sending hugs to France,

LAKEWAY CUSTOM HOME

Here's the final reveal of the Lakeway custom home we decorated. I encourage you to click on the photos to enlarge and see why we took certain pictures. Like take this picture below for instance.  When a client is thinking about paint in a certain room they wonder what to paint the ceiling.  Alot of times we'll use an accent color or a lighter shade of the wall paint.  And some times you just take a cue from the "feeling" of a room.  This room, the Entry, just felt like it needed a plain white ceiling.  But we kept the beams stained in the rich black brown.

Our clients were on a beach vacation while we styled the home and took pictures.  We started early in the day, then realized we didn't have enough accessories, rugs, etc.....so then we broke up our day by going back into the stores and gathering more fun stuff.By the time we got back and then styled, the lighting was going down outside.

So, you see a mix of bright rooms and a mix of rooms where we had to leave the lights on because we were taking photos into the night!

It's so hard to see the beautiful grasscloth wallpaper we used in this Powder Room.  But up close it's one of my favorite grasscloths! The romantic Moroccan lighting in the Powder is gorgeous....hard to capture in pictures.

LOVE river rock always for flooring....comes in different colorways, but this is one of my favorites!

Their cozy patio that overlooks the golf course and the swimming pool.....

"Denim" painted walls in the boys' bathroom with a beautiful blue mirror.

The kids hangout...complete with tv, games, bean bag chairs, soda and popcorn...

..... fun retro style soda pop!

Wood flooring, carpet, tiles and wallpaper all available through Schroeder Carpet in Austin.

I hope you enjoyed a peek inside this beautiful Lakeway home!


Have a great weekend!

REVEAL OF THE WEEK: LAKEWAY CUSTOM HOME

 

 

If you follow the blog you know I've been wrapping up work on a custom home in Lakeway.    Christin and I had fun this past  Saturday shopping for more accessories, styling the house and shooting pics while the cients enjoyed a weekend at the beach.  
I am so excited to share just a few details with you, and I will reveal the entire house in the next few days!




Have a great weekend & we'll show you more next week!

Dear valued readers:  We're not taking on anymore clients now that the school year is winding down.  We'll be back in action around September, so give us a shout then!  We'll still be sharing design stuff with you over the summer and introducing a new line.  So hope you'll stay tuned.
