A Glimpse Into the Future..


As the new year begins... a project nears the end...





It has been a little over a year now that I have been working on this current project.  Being able to begin a project while in the planning stages, before construction begins, is very rewarding in terms of being able to make substantial changes to a plan and implement ideas that would otherwise have been difficult to include.  Even more rewarding is to see the project evolve and to know that my client is just as excited about her new home as I have been in working together with her on it.

These few photos can give you an idea of what is to come in the final stage of completion...but the end results will be far more interesting and exciting to reveal and I look forward to sharing them with you...


Here's to a great new year for all...!

"My Mind is Soothed and Calmed,...

...the burning has ceased, and I have found all sorts of treasures" ~ Guru Nanak

Yes... treasures for as far as the eye can see...but don't hesitate to take possession, or another will stake their claim! The Spring antique show of Round Top, Texas is just around the corner. Here are some treasures claimed from previous shows...
(While you stroll through the antique show, I hope you will enjoy the music from my playlist...and if you have time, hop over to the sidewalk cafe along the San Antonio River walk for a glass of wine and enjoy the Spring weather.)



A narrow French armoire if perfect for a good size bathroom or narrow space that needs a special piece.


You will find several vendors that sell vintage and antique fabrics and linens. Some of the vendors have fabricated cushions from the "ticking".




This would make a wonderful headboard. I had a similar fireplace surround for a project. I had a base made to elevate the bottom of the surround to just below the top of the mattress. An upholstered inset was fabricated for the opening, to sit flush with the front of the surround for the back rest.



This was a piece that I wanted to use in a project for the bathroom, to drop a sink into. By the time I got my clients go ahead for the purchase, someone else had bought it. Moral of the story...trust your designer!



A solid metal dresser... what a great piece.


A Scandinavian work table makes a wonderful console table.


The architectural finds are endless...


This piece ended up in the bedroom of one of the projects I was working on. It is a beautiful Spanish cupboard.

Reclaimed wood and architectural pieces have been married with zinc surfaces for a clean, simple country statement.

Love these French laundry baskets! Get their early enough to get the pick of the crop.

This piece would have made a fabulous kitchen island, and I would have gotten it if I had the extra room to store it until the right project came along for it.
