Focal Walls

i am all about focal walls these days. they add just the right amount of drama for a really low price. they also transform a space to make it something really unique. i have been eyeing focal walls on pinterest for quite awhile - here are some of my favorites.

i have a focal wall in my kitchen/dining area (that i have not shared yet) AND i just finished one this weekend in our library! i could not be more thrilled with how it turned out!!

this space is really coming together. once the fireplace and mantle are painted it will make a huge difference. (the stripes are still wet here)

here is an update on the space.

 now:

love it or hate it.

i tried to find some bright interior spaces that were a bit out there.  others opinions of lovely interiors always interest me.  

so what do you think, love it, or hate it?

Oh Katie, how bold and beautiful you are!

Ghost Chairs.....

Everybody loves a Chiavari Chair, a MUST HAVE for weddings and events.

Now they have came out with an acrylic collection! They are to die for! Put some lighting on these acrylic beauties and BA-BAM! Your work is done.

How COOL are these?!?!?!

And a bar stool too!

Gretchen and I were fortunate enough to see these bad boys in person at the Sweet 16 we coordinated and planned on Saturday! Professional photos coming soon.......

Fun and Funky Interior Spaces

HAPPY TUESDAY!

Sorry I missed out on blogging yesterday:( Today I thought that I would just share some photos that I have collected over the past month of blogging, AKA time to clean out the "My Pictures" File........

How cool does this collection of photographs look above this wild print sofa!

One of my favorite rooms by Suzanne Kasler, the colors and patterns are SO PLAYFUL!

LOVE the pink wall between the black bookcases and the horns on the mantle!


This room is so fun and seems so easy, I like that!

WOW! What to look at, this room is adorable!


Again with the horns on the mantle! This room is so cheery, the blue is AWESOME!

I think I am IN LOVE with the white:)

I LOVE my grandparents!!!!

So my Granparents, being the wonderful people that they are have totally let me raid their home. Well, not really but REALLY!

A little over a year ago they invited my husband and I over for dinner. They told us that they had something to discuss with us. Next thing I know, Grandma has a brochure for a new subdivision in Fishers, Indiana. She opens up the brochure, shows us a beautiful home and floorplan and proceeds to tell us that they are building a new home and moving in May. WOW! This was a huge shock to us. They had a beautiful home in Indianapolis and I never thought they would move. They had been talking for years about updating the house they lived in and I was waiting for that news....but no! They were so excited like kids in a candy store to build a home together and make it everything they had ever wanted.

Well a little background on my husband and I.......I am an Interior Designer at Z&R Design in Fishers, Indiana and I like to call myself an amateur artist, while my husband Mike owns his own Home Remodeling company, Clean Feet.

They were basically getting ready to share with us our plans for the next year of our lives! We are so grateful to have such wonderful grandparents that were willing to put the fate of their new home in our hands! We have had so much fun with the house and now it is DONE! I am so excited to share these photos, this home makes me smile every time I am there, and not just because I get to see my grandparents :)

Thanks Lu, for your wonderful photography skills!!
