Queen Anne Beauty

We finally had an opportunity to use one of our new purchases from our time at market in Las Vegas. We call it “the Ladies”. See the image in the media room. Took 3 of us to hang it but what a POW! it provided.

This one of a kind home was listed by Rene Stern & Kim Wesselman-Windermere and the fabulous staging is done by us gals at Open House Staging.

Grand Dutch Colonial in Wallingford

I wish you all could see what a good, high quality remodel looks like. The kitchen windows are to die for, the light fixtures are big statements and the spaces are incredible. Take a look …

What a Difference a Few Changes Make!

Let's get one thing straight: I shot these photos on my iphone so they are not going to wow you but the room change may.

My daughter went off to college so it was time to create a more grown up beautiful room for her return. It only took me a week to complete. Here is how it worked:

I have been following Tuft and Needle mattress company for a couple of years. They sell 1 mattress in several sizes. The Queen is about $550. I tried it out, my nephew tried it and now my daughter. We are all fans. You do not need to pay big prices for a mattress anymore. I purchased mine from Amazon for a handful of reasons. Purchase here. Ships in a box, open, cut plastic and it expands. PRESTO!

The makeover cost me about $1400.00. That is with the mattress, hiring a painter, the paint, bedding, and accessories. No furniture. Everything was Home Goods, Target and Amazon. The furniture: bed (also sold on Amazon) and dresser and mirror are Ikea.

Before

The original room was Carrie's (Sex in the City) apartment color-left image. My youngest is not a fan of feminine so this is what we agreed on (back in the day). 

We are adding a collection of black and whites on the wall and I think that completes the look.
