Creating One-Of-A-Kind Spaces
Creating a one-of-a-kind space for clients is exhilarating! Interior Decorating a room from the top to bottom is always a joy. In Home Staging we are always looking to entice the buyers. It has to be all about “them”, our target market.
Creating an all out design of work to be truly good needs to function and be about the client.
We have been working on this project for a few months now. There were a few things the clients want. One, they LOVE their chandelier. Two, they want to display a few prints in the room. Three, the furniture needed to stay. Four, their window’s architectural features make it challenging to change.
One- Chandelier. Patti expressed her love for it and said, “You’re going to make me get rid of it right?” Well after a little research we found almost an exact match to a Murano Italian Glass Chandelier. It stays.

These prints are fantastic. They are Cool colors and we need to incorporate them into a Warm palette.
My GREAT painter, Rikk Mayr, is doing my Faux work.
Here is a “SNEEK-PEEK” of our ceiling. This is only at the half way point of the ceilings completion.
Creative way of bringing the Cool Blues into a Warm space
I must also say that if it weren’t for my confidence with Color this would be a scary project. I am boldly moving forward with the design as I have my DSA Color With No Regrets education.
I found the most fabulous 100 yr old shutters. We will be using them as window treatments. They are rough, chipped paint and perfect for this application. I’ll post on them next week.
Fearless…No Regrets Design.
Happy Decorating,

DesAnn,
I am excited to see the ceiling results and the use of the shutter window treatment. I have been painting ceilings for years now. I usually do a faux sky treatment when the design calls for it. Mostly in bathrooms with wonderful soaking tubs. Throughout a homes interior I love to do blue ceilings and the value and hue will depend on the other color choices throughout the home. Looking forward to the after shot.

We decided to create an ‘el-fresco” feel. as you know Decorating is problem solving. The Blue hues come directly from the Cool hues in the prints they want in the room. We will also be repeating those cool blue hues into their dining chairs. Rikk will be fauxing the walls this week.
The shutters took a long time to find but they are exactly what I was looking for. it took my 2 days of shopping the Antique shops, Barn sales and Ohio’s Amish country to find them.
thanks for your comments.
I’m sure all of your efforts will reward your clients. Looking forward to seeing the end result. D
