When you are shopping for a clients decorating project do you ever feel a little like Indiana Jones?
You search and search for just the right treasure. I’m certain the other shoppers around me think I’m a little off. Well they are half right. I am known to scream like a little girl when I find treasure. So excited, and like a child it is hard for me not to run immediately to my clients homes to show them my treasures.
Perfect Shutter Treasure
The Dining room project, “El Fresco”, is truly a labor of love.
We are using these 100 yr old shutters instead of fabric for our window treatments. These shutters are perfect. remember to always measure, measure, measure.
Not only are these terrific in color and wear but they fit perfectly.
Color check at the half way point
Here is a sneak peek of the Color washing, half-way through.
We are now looking for the perfect Slate tile for the floor.
Watch as our journey to “Fearless Design” land continues.
Next week we hope to reveal the new floor.
Be fearless,

It’s amazing because you go to a restaurant or a hotel and you always see shutters that look like they’re really old but they’re just designed to look that way. It’s so good to see that you have the real thing for your project.

It was so exciting to find the “real” treasure. Rikk Mayr, my GREAT artist & painter offered to age new ones if I could not find the “real” ones.
I love studying the design in restaurants…sometime the ‘ladies” rooms are spectacular.
