Feature Friday

For today's Feature Friday, I am focusing on stylish rooms.  Rooms that speak elegance and style. While working on my classes this past week, I came across some amazing rooms that are definitely drool worthy.  So just sit back and enjoy.




















Have a great weekend . . .!

Then(s) and Now . . .

In thinking on what to post, I started looking back through pictures that I have taken of our home over the last couple of years and it amazes me how much things really do change. 

Not just because I am constantly rearranging furniture, but also the accessories I have used, furniture arrangements and how I have used furniture from room to room. 

The fun part in looking through past photos is thinking: I remember that look, I liked that look and knowing I have an image in which I can refer to in order to re-create a look any time I want.  And then there are those in which I say "what was I thinking . . ." the answer: I probably wasn't.

Although I have shared some pictures of our home with you from time to time, I thought I would share some of the changes that have occurred here On Elk Street over the last few months:

Puddling

To Puddle or not to Puddle?  Do you allow Puddles in your house?

I have to say I absolutely love the look of Puddled curtains.  I think puddling curtains or sheers can bring a sense of softness and romance to any room.  I recently had a client that agreed to Puddle her curtains and the results were amazing.

Sharing with you today imagines of Puddling:


Soft pink Puddles

Hide away Puddles

Rich Puddles

Serene Puddles

Soft Rustic Puddles

And my Absolute favorite . . .Romantic Puddles


Client's Puddles
And. . .Office Puddles

What do think about having Puddles in your house?
