Black Crow Studios update!

Thursday, July 4, 2013

OMG--it's pretty much all I can say.  Our custom ordered Black Crow Studios watercolor canvases arrived last week.  To say I am in love is an understatement!!!



I cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Black Crow! Tracy, the owner, sent me several renderings and choices of what the art work would look like before we made our decision and in person it was exactly what we thought it was going to look like!    I took forever to make a decision, but she was so kind and patient with me and as soon as I pulled the trigger, she was on it and it was shipped in no time!  

I have always loved this long hall in our house, but now I actually admire it. If you are looking for beautiful, affordable, unique, bold artwork, you need to check out Black Crow!

Dining Room- Urbane Bronze

Tuesday, June 25, 2013

I just realized I never posted an update on the dining room painting extravaganza that occurred at my house a few weeks ago!  Sorry about that :). After much blue tape and drop clothes, we were able to step back and say, "Wow, that's dark, but we LOVE it!"




I will say, challenges abounded with how dark this color is.  I had to give it an OCD inspection (which drove the hubby nuts!) to make sure little light spots where not showing through and the paint was even.  All in all--SO worth it and gives the bold punch this room needed!

Dining room in progress

Wednesday, June 5, 2013

We have started painting the dining room Urbane Bronze by Sherwin Williams.  It is dark and I love it!  By the look of things, you would think we are creating a kill room (for the Dexter fans out there!)




Will post completion photos once we get there!

Follow-up: Threshold

Tuesday, June 4, 2013

As I mentioned last week, Target has an awesome collection called Threshold.  I love it!  

The pic below is from the foyer in my house.



The grey tray, large piece of white coral and the glass container are all from Target!  I think each piece was under $30 bucks too!  The shells and the starfish are from a recent vacation and the mercury glass candle holder is from Ballard Designs (long ago).

What great things have you found at Target???

50 Shades (more like 150) of Gray

Urbane bronze by Sherwin Wiliiams--LOVE it on paper! We just rebuilt our house (post about that later...I can explain) and I am not in love with the dining room color we selected.  We went with Intellectual Gray and I think a change-a-roo is in order.  Getting a sample tonight and will post pics next week!

Well Played Target

Thursday, May 30, 2013


I admit, I love Target.  I absolutely am one of the many people who can't spend less than $60 bucks minimum every time I go in there.  They have this card that you can link with your checking account and it gives you 5% back as well as free shipping at Target.com, but I never remember to take a check with me so they can link it!  Who carries checkbooks these days???  I have to give MAJOR kudos to whomever came with the Threshold brand and concept.  




They have some damn cute stuff and the prices are totally affordable.  Even the logo is pretty chic.  I have bought a Threshold item it seems from every department where the brand is featured.  It is a home run for sure!

I will post a pic over the weekend of one of favorite Threshold finds here in my house--See y'all soon!
