Before and After; A Master Bedroom Desk

Sorry I haven't blogged in awhile; HIGH pollen in the ATL had me down a few days, then I had my monthly show at Scott's Antique Market.

This week's blog is simply a recent Before and After for a wonderful client who was upgrading her Master Bedroom.  She had a nice desk, but her new bedroom furniture was more transitional, so I searched for the PERFECT desk and desk chair for a woman that wanted a more-feminine look.  Here's what she had (we moved it to a different room in her home for her daughter to use) BEFORE:

Here's what I found at Baker Knapp & Tubbs,...a WONDERFUL cream-lacquered ladies' desk (which has JEWELERY DRAWERS on the top-left and top-right drawers) from the Barbara Barry Collection.  The oval-back side chair is a personal-favourite of mine; also from Barbara Barry.  Here's the AFTER:

Nice, eh?

And HERE is a photo of the new desk and desk chair,...and how it compliments the rest of my client's Sophisticated and Feminine Master Bedroom.  The bench at the bottom of her new bed came from A. RUDIN, which I found at Ernest Gaspard and Associates at ADAC (with Audrey's help, of course!).  We selected a great ivory leather.  .....and the tall mirror on the wall came from BERNHARDT; Chris Ford, my furniture-tech and installer, professionally-hanged it on the wall right-outside my client's walk-in closet.

I was very happy with the completed Look, and my client was very pleased!

Keep Calm and Relax in Your New Bedroom!

Patio: Before and After

These days, people are not only remodeling their kitchens and bathrooms, but adding wonderful patios, decks, and gazebos to their homes.

Outdoor Entertaining is certainly fun for everyone,....just when was the last time you had a FORMAL, sit-down dinner party?

A few weeks ago, I blogged about the new collection of OUTDOOR furniture from Brown Jordan.  As promised, here are some Before and After photos of my client's patio.  

Let me know what you think; I'll be happy to send fabric memo samples in the colours of your choice.

Keep Calm and Decorate Your Patio!
