A little something

mstreetdenver — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 14:07:00 +0000

Here’s another little something I’m just about to complete. Just a few little odds and ends left to wrap up. This place a got a huge overhaul. Picture blue and yellow french provincial before to this updated greys and greens. The sofa and ottoman were custom. The barrel chairs were vintage picks from the flea this summer that were painted and recovered. LOVE the way they turned out. The drapes and valances were custom and slipcovers for the parsons chairs were custom as well. Most everything else was off the rack or vintage and I just love the way it turned out!

If I……

Had no kids or husband I would live it up in this girly palace. It is right up my alley, pink, soft blues and white. Lot’s of white. I just love it!

This is the beautiful home of blogger Ana Antunes. There are some many more amazing pics of her pad. Check them out here

On to the next project

Well I’m still not done with the first (the bath). My chatty tile guy is taking a bit longer than expected ie: I’ll be there at 7:30 and here we are at 7:45. Ugh! It will be a miracle if he is done my Friday. At least he is doing a great job! So mentally I’m moving onto the next project….the patio. It need a major overhaul. Torn up, regraded, gutter spouts buried. Oh yeah and maybe remove a GIANT tree that site in the middle of my cute little courtyard. Here are some pics to inspire the design.

WOW!

I'd love to use some real furniture for the patio covered in outdor fabrics

Ok so maybe we call this post all things shiny. I’m dying to use this light fixture somewhere. It looks do beautiful. I think it would be perfect in a powder room.

Ahh! I just love this simple Cape Cod style retreat off the coast of Nova Scotia. It looks so relaxing and picturesque even on a cloudy day. I’m sure it’s the perfect place to escape the hub bub of everyday life. The interior space is simple and soothing in lovely shades of gray and blue. What a wonderful place to escape…Is this post telling of me weekend! Ha!

Room of the week

mstreetdenver — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 14:53:41 +0000

I love the masculine feel of this room. I must be in mood this week. If I was dating a guy who decorated his house like this I’d be in LOVE! But then we would have to break up because he would have to much say in what our house looked like. Ha! I love my slient husband. I mean come on I’m the expert right!

cement tiles

The Foundary has some amazing cement tiles for sale that I’m drooling over. I’d love to buy them for my foyer which has a red mexican restaurant tile right now. Not good. These beautiful tiles are all hand made with pigment dyes to create amazing, vibrant colors. They are great so small spots like foyers, backsplashed and small bathrooms too.

Dark and Stormy

mstreetdenver — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 14:14:50 +0000

It is going to be anything but dark and stormy around here the next few days. Upper 50′s and sunny for the next 5 days in fact. But this home just gave me a dark and stormy vibe but in the most beautiful way. I love the masculine tones and the wonderful patina on the vintage pieces. Happy Hump Day!

The home was designed by Jimmy Stanton of Stanton Home furnishings in Atlanta’s Foxhall development. More photos here

Easyart.com…Well what? It says it in the name. Posters and canvases are cheap and easy on this site. Order up your art for bedroom, bath and study with a few clicks. Yes this place is located across the pond but the shipping is super reasonable and quick too. Remember art is a very subjective thing so go with what you love!

Picassco but this would loove great in a silver frame

Room of the Week

mstreetdenver — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:37:48 +0000

What is not to love about this rich and beautiful room. The colors are so deep ad saturated, the intense layer of unique finds all over the room and smitten with that coffee table. But most of all I’m loving that peacock pearched in the back. I spotted one very similar in Boulder the other day, it didn’t have a price and I was in a hurry. Next trip I may have to investigate more. I just can’t get it out of my head!
