a day at thanksgiving point

Posted by dasfseegdse 0 komentar

summer is winding down, i am trying to cram as much fun as i can into next 2 weeks.

the kids and i have spent a LOT of time at the pool this year, but we have also been on quite a few little adventures--(we try to do something "big" each week.)

earlier this week, we ventured to thanksgiving point...

for those of you who have never heard of thanksgiving point, it is a fun destination with a tons of things to do---it has a museum (one of the best in the state!), an imax theater, extensive gardens, a petting zoo, a golf course, an amphtheater, a great emporium, a cafe, ice cream parlor, several other restaurants, and more. there are summer camps available for kids, gourmet cooking classes, floral arrangement and gardening classes, numerous concerts, and during the holidays, they have a fantastic light display.

it kinda has UH--LOT of stuff to do.

it is located about 20 miles south of downtown slat lake city, and is almost

impossible to miss from the freeway!

here are some pics from our visit:

(aren't these gorgeous??)

loved the potted boxwoods too...

a peek at a corner of the HUGE gardens...

LOVED these lanterns.

hmmm.

i should consider this a triumph....ONE of my THREE kids is actually looking at the camera and smiling. not a small feat.

(PS--my oldest daughter is now OFFICIALLY the same height as me! if i weighed 50 pounds less,

we could share clothes. i am sure she would be THRILLED about that! )

a look inside the emporium....this place has everything...home decor, an adorable toy and candy shop,

"made in utah" goodies, jewelry, clothing, bedding, bath products...

loved this display!

after we strolled through the emporium, we stopped and got a bite to eat at the cafe:

we also MAY have ordered a few of these...

we had a great time! we will most likely go back later in the month before school starts...we wanted to see the museum, but it was SO crowded, so we are going to wait until a few other counties are back in school so that there will be fewer people.

i hope you enjoyed the mini-tour!

before + after: e-design-casual, eclectic family room

Posted by dasfseegdse 0 komentar

as promised, here are some progress pictures of the family room that blogged about earlier in the week.

as you can see, the room already had a lot going for it---it is spacious, gets a lot of light, has a fireplace centered on one of the walls with matching bookcases flanking it.

before:

a few things that were not changing:

1. the paint color--the walls had recently been painted, and the color was great.

2. the basic layout of the furniture.

3. the sofa, dresser and chairs were staying, as well as the great brass lamp.

a few things we wanted to address:

1. the room needed more seating.

2. the wall along the back of the room felt neglected and needed to be dressed up (and that that return air vent was an eyesore!)

3. the bookcases needed to become more of a design feature.

4. the window needed to be softened with some drapery.

5. the fireplace needed to have more interest, as well as the wall above the dresser.

6. the homeowner wanted to add some color

after:

(a BIG thank you to my client for taking these great photos and sending them to me!)

changes to note:
-added two large slip covered chairs for additional seating. the nesting tables in between them really round out the grouping.
-darker paint added to the back of the bookcases, new styling there as well
-bright pops of color in new pillows
-a new side table and lamp help connect the sofa to the chairs, which helps control the traffic flow around the other side of the room
-new styling over the mantle and the dresser

this wall is my favorite thing in the room!

what used to be a blank wall is now a great space to showcase the homeowners collection of vintage art...and that return air vent was painted so it blends in with the wall! (sometimes it is those little TINY changes that can really make a tremendous impact!)

of course there are a few more pieces of the puzzle yet to be put in place--
some drapes made from an off-white and blue cheetah print will be hung soon, a small metal side table added in between the woven chairs, and a pair of ottomans will be placed in front of the fireplace.

i am so pleased with how well the room looks, and i think my client did an amazing job of transforming this room by following the full design plan that i worked on for her.
a win-win situation for the both of us!
:)
