before + after: the power of an hour--welcoming foyer
Selasa, 20 November 2012

i am excited to share another pinterest board + phone call success story!
here is the before:
this client needed suggestions on how to warm up her existing foyer.
the hardwood floors, and crisp moldings are a great start, but the room definitely needed a few
items to make it feel inviting and welcoming.
*adding a rug...something with some texture, pattern or color.
*having a simple, skirted table with trim on the bottom made to hide some storage and add softness.
*adding a lamp for some softer lighting
*putting a bench in the space
*accessorizing the table, and installing a mirror above
after:
can create interest and a little drama, but still fee sophisticated and neutral.
the pop of blue in the lamp references the rug, and adds just the right dose of color.
the small details like the trim on the bottom of the tailored table skirt, and the texture of the
top of the bench add dimension and interest to the space.
(my client liked her foyer so much, she hired me again to work on her master bedroom!)
have a space that needs help? interested in working together?
contact me at autumnclemons@yahoo.com to set up a consultation!
(the fee for my pinterest board + phone consultations will be going up slightly feburary 1, so let me know if you want to set one up before then.)

i always get excited when i am introduced to a new source for finding unique home accents. a few weeks ago, i was approached by novica-- one of the leading fair trade artisan websites, and asked to review their product line. i had to admit...i was really impressed with their selection!
novica works with national geographic (yes, THE national geographic!) to give talented artisans from around the world a place to sell their creations.
they have thousands of top fair trade corporate gifts, accessories, jewelry and home decor items on their
website.

as you can see, they have just about everything---art, mirrors, furniture, sculpture, vases, rugs and tableware.
i really was impressed with the variety and price points of the items. i especially love the feature where you can click on an artists name, and it pulls up their picture and bio, and lets you see all of the creations that they offer on novica.com. you can also search by region--you can look for something from central america or thailand, or west africa....pretty amazing!
in addition to all of the home decor items that they carry, they also sell items that would make terrific christmas gifts, like:

sun + snow

well, i am back. it was a very lovely trip full of sun and laughter and great memories. it was nice to relax and (almost) completely unplug from life. we stayed at a resort just south of cancun, in a little area called puerto morelos. it was really beautiful and uncrowded and serene, and perfect for a girls getaway.
i left sunny mexico sunday morning, and arrived in salt lake city later that evening to a LOT of snow...more snow than we have seen in a couple of years. (the framers measured 21 inches)
because a lot of leaves were still on the trees, there are broken tree limbs everywhere!
the snow has slowed down the framers a bit. they spent nearly all day yesterday shoveling snow out of the house so they could continue to work. by the end of the week, we SHOULD have some walls on the second floor up, and maybe even a few of the roof rafters in place. i am not getting my hopes up though...i know the cold weather and the snow will make things tough.
still, things are moving along faster than i expected, and i am pretty darn thrilled!
