Long Beach-Before & After

May 1, 2012

We are still working on the finishing touches & window treatments/furniture for this Long Beach client but thought we would give a sneak peak into the transformation of this cute simple home.  

The before pictures are hard to actually tell from as we added onto the back of the house for the master bathroom.  As well we took out the interior walls making the kitchen and Living room into a great room for our clients to entertain. 

Before: 

After: 

Before: 

This is the old Living Room wall that we took out now for the kitchen Island.  

After: 

Master bathroom before: 

After:  We added square footage to this home to make a Master bathroom on the back of the house. 

Love always,

Fall table decor…

November 18, 2011

I can’t believe that we are already at Thanksgiving!  Where has this year gone?  Such a wonderful year with the new addition to my family, Landen Edward Dever.  I’m getting all excited again to celebrate with the family for the Holidays.  I came across these wonderful table designs for Thanksgiving and wanted to share them with you! 

This I found off a great blog Handmade Evolution.  Such a simple but fun idea using family photos at the table, what a great way to make everyone feel at home!

Featured on the HGTV page.  Love the simple white dishes, my style!  

Again off the Handmade Evolution blog,  Love the salt and pepper with clean orange. 

HGTV website.  I save pumpkins from Halloween so I have them to decorate with through Thanksgiving.  The idea of putting them on candle sticks is so fun!  

Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Love always,

Courtney
