Décor That Dazzles The Domain!

 

Don’t forget that just like adding accessories to your outfit can change your look – dressing it up or down, for glitz or for fun – so do the accessories you choose for your home.  And, just like creating our own unique style of dress tells a lot about who we are and what kind of personality we have, we need to create our own unique style of décor for our homes for the same reason.  And, my motto is never be ordinary.  Whenever possible always lean to décor that is unique and makes a statement.  Like this wall art below:

Cool, huh?

Love the drama and attitude this brings to a space.

These pieces make much more of a statement than an ordinary print or something along those lines.  Make a statement in your space.  Loud and clear!

Screens are a great way to incorporate color and interest.  Tuck one into a corner, behind a bed for a headboard, use as a space divider.

How’s this for a unique coffee table?

Or this?  I put this in a clients living room and it looks amazing.  She was a little nervous at first, because it’s so unusual, but that’s what she loves about it now.  Be unique!

Great lamps.

Love this accent table.

I put these in the same clients house on the black coffee table above.  They look spectacular.

So fun!

Time to dazzle your domain with cool décor, too.  Like I’ve said before don’t be ordinary….be extraordinary. Let your personality shine through and find unusual accessories to display throughout your home.  Make a statement with your space!

Happy Decorating!

 

Before And After: A Dentist Office Goes From Drab To Fab

 

 I have worked with Terry and Stacie off and on for years now – known them since their children were itty bitty.  Now they’re so big!  And one is driving!     I’ve helped with the decorating on two of their homes as well as Stacie’s dental office.  So when Terry called to see if I could help snazz up his office (yes, they are both dentists, but in two different locations) I was happy to help.

 

Before Pictures:

The bones were there.  Great flooring and great walls.  But the decor was lacking and it just needed some serious TLDC  (that’s Tender Love and Designer Care!) to take it to that next level. 

 Not a lot of personality in the furnishings.  Kind of like wearing that perfect little black dress with all the wrong accessories…..it just ruins the whole affect!

 

 

No accessories on the ledges.

 

No art to dress up the walls.

After Pictures:

Rich, interesting furnishings and accessories fill the waiting area with personality. 

Great rug at the entrance.

Large, comfortable seating in leather and paisley fabric.

Interesting artwork helps warm the space and bring in some personality. 

 

Cozy touches help deflect a sterile, dentist feel. 

 

 

Iron étagère replaced the original less interesting shelving.  It helps to bring some character to the niche.

Fun accessories help bring in color, texture and warmth.

Artwork helps dress up the hallway and make it more welcoming.

All most spaces need is a little TLC or rather TLDC.  The right touches make all the difference as it did in this dentist office.  The richness and warmth of texture, texture and more texture do wonders for creating “atmosphere” — even in a dentist office.

And if you’re having fun looking at all the beautiful, cozy decor, maybe it’ll take your mind off what they’re about to do to your teeth!

Happy Decorating!
