March Break Vacay

Happy Friday!  I'm pretty excited, as today is my last work day before I sign off for the week to enjoy a March Break vacation to Scottsdale Arizona with Adam and the kids!

Do you have anything planned for March Break?  No matter what you are up to, I hope you have a delightful week! See you back here after the break!

Switch Studio Before & Afters

Today I thought I'd share some of my favourite before and afters that I've recently completed at Switch...

These guys were looking a little rough around the edges when they showed up - They were dirty, the fabric was loose, and the foam was saggy.  After a few days with us they are looking better than ever!  We also think the piping and button details add a little something, don't you?

This little chair had seen better days.  When we stripped it, we found that whoever upholstered it to begin with did a terrible job - There wasn't even foam on the seat!  Anyway, with lots of hard work and TLC, this little chair is better than new, and way more comfy on the tush!  And we love that the client went for this stunning bird fabric, it is very "wow" and very unique!

These counter stools were fairly new, but fairly boring.  So, we added major wow factor by upholstering them in four different fabrics!  Super fun, don't you agree?

House Envy

I was flipping through AD this past weekend, and fell in love with Brook Shields' New York townhouse, so I thought I'd share it with you...

This is a sweet foyer, perfect for what is about to come!  The mouldings are what makes this space perfect.

I love so much about this room - The mixing of old and new, the wall colour {which is Benjamin Moore's Chelsea Grey}, the hits of colour, and those black glossy doors are perfection!


Here is the other side of the room - Don't you love it?  The portraits of Brook's two daughters, one with a lollipop crown and one with a sundae crown, were done by artist Will Cotton - Love them!

The kitchen is so very wonderful!  My favourite part is the table {by MADE} and chairs with gorgeous tangerine seats.  I'm also loving grey cabinets lately, so these ones are making me happy!

I love this casual table and chairs, and the collection of artwork is simply stunning - Don't you think?

Full length drapery panels in a bathroom?  Yes please!  I think the dark free standing tub is a perfect edition to this bathroom, and the turkish towels are a nice little treat.

This bedroom is charming!  The block-printed linens make me want to go shop for bedding, and that chair is the perfect place to cozy up and knit for an afternoon of peace.  Sigh.

Yep, if I were to have a New York home, I would love for it to be this one!

Kate Spade Flo Coral

Nothing says "Come On Spring" like Kate Spade's new colour for the season - Flo Coral!  I'm so in love!

This colour was obviously inspired by the colour of the year {see my post HERE} and it's perfection for spring - Don't you think?  

I was recently inspired by Kate's collection, and am currently knitting an oversized cowl in this gorgeous colour, oh joy!  If you are local, and looking to knit, I recommend heading to Knit One Bead Too.  I went there to learn how to knit {for my 30 Before 30 adventure, see post HERE} over a year ago, and have been hooked ever since.  I'm looking forward to knitting this weekend, and seeing my gorgeous coral cowl take shape!  Have a good one my sweets!
