Is that bad?? Fabrics, paint colors, furniture, and anything to do with interior design can keep my mind jammed packed for hours on end. What I hope this blog will be is a place for my creativity to run wild. I hope you join me as I navigate towards making my little house in Charlotte a home to my soon to be expanded family.Little House in Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06669695615680147868noreply@blogger.comBlogger17125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949622296637802137.post-87721560148447209052011-12-18T19:05:00.000-05:002011-12-18T19:05:28.495-05:00Nursery is complete!So sorry for the lack of updates - I have been super busy with work and trying to get everything ready for maternity leave. Since this was the last weekend before Christmas - we finished everything up with the nursery and are trying to get as organized as possible before the little man comes. Also - by the end of the week I will FINALLY have pictures of my mom's living room. She chose a beautiful Benjamin Moore paint and all the painting was finished this past weekend as well. <br />
<br />
Take a look at the nursery - the pictures are terrible, but hopefully I'll be able to get some better ones once I figure out how to work our camera better.<br />

With this being a short week with work I will be sure to update on my recent house projects as well as my mom's living room.<br />
<br />
Have a great Monday!!!<br />

My best friends from NJ flew in this past weekend for my baby shower and we had a great time. We have all been friends for years so it was so special being able to spend time with everyone. First - the baby shower was amazing thanks to all my hosts! The whole weekend made me realize how incredibly lucky and blessed I am to have such wonderful friends and family in my life. So thank you to everyone - it was such a great time. <br />
<br />
That's another reason I decorated the whole house last weekend - I wanted to make sure we were the perfect hosts for my friends with plenty of Holiday cheer to go around :-)<br />
<br />
So to the originally post - the nursery is well on it's way to being completed. The curtains arrived on Friday and I couldn't be happier with them. They look incredible, I decided on a pencil pleat at the top with a greek key trim on the sides. The curtains match the bed skirt - I'll get better pictures up this week. Take a look:<br />

Also - look at this amazing gift that one of my girlfriends gave us this past weekend. She and her hubby made it!!!!! They are both incredibly creative and it matches the theme beautifully. It's a baseball taken apart. <br />

A couple more things to finish up in her house with the hopes of being completed by Christmas Eve. Can't wait to see everything come together. </div>Little House in Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06669695615680147868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949622296637802137.post-88651189408828512122011-11-27T21:17:00.001-05:002011-11-28T07:24:25.678-05:00It's beginning to look a lot like ChristmasThanksgiving has passed and Christmas is around the corner, 27 days to be exact! We got back from our trip on Saturday and have been on the go ever since. Outdoor decorations are up, tree is decorated, and the house is cleaned. We got a ton accomplished in a day in a half here. However, we still have a long to-do list since I have my best friends flying in town on Friday for the weekend!!! I can wait to see them! Here's some pictures of what I got done since Saturday afternoon. <div>

Lots to do this week. The curtains come in and I'm finishing up the nursery. I should have pictures of that by the beginning of next week. Projects that I'm working on this week - sewing some pillows - decorating the sun room and trying to pick out some fun throw pillows for my friends living room. </div>

Have a great Monday!</div>Little House in Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06669695615680147868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949622296637802137.post-22842936159029720902011-11-25T12:00:00.001-05:002011-11-25T16:16:22.733-05:00BLACK FRIDAYI hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving!!! I sure did. <br />
<br />
I'm still out of town and heading out to enjoy the last day with my in-laws. As promised - here's a design board that I've been working on for one of my girlfriends. She is looking to re-do her living room in the next couple of months. Currently she has more of a country look and wants to update her room with a more modern flair. The furniture is on order and we will be discussing paint colors and accessories in the coming weeks. The only thing I'm unsure of is the rug???? I can't decide between a cream rug or something like this yellow rug since there is some yellow in the ottoman. Right now I'm obsessed with pinks and grays. That's why I love these throw pillows with this grey sectional. Hope you enjoy!!!<br />

This is my first Thanksgiving with my in-laws and I'm super excited. Last night was pie night which consisted of baking 8 pies, with 4 in the oven now, and that only includes this house. I've heard there will be a total of 40 different pies to choose from after dinner is served. With my sweet tooth that means I'm a happy camper! That also means I'll be spending some quality time at the gym tomorrow in order to justify it :-).<br />
<br />
Happy Thanksgiving - once again I'm extremely thankful for so many things; but most importantly family, friends, and our little boy that is due in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to meet him! Have a great day and I hope to be back tomorrow or Saturday with a new design board, updates on house projects, and whatever else I have up my sleeve.<br />

I got a ton done this weekend but with everything still left to before Christmas I feel like I didn't even put a dent in my to-do list. That's ok though I like being busy. Here's some of what I did get done this weekend. </div>

I'm getting more and more excited about seeing my mom's living room come together. The fabrics are picked - sample paint colors are on the walls - just picking between two. After Thanksgiving we are going to be busy getting everything ready for the Holidays, my favorite time of the year! Plus my best friends are coming in town in two weekends so I'll need to get ready for them. I seriously don't see myself slowing down before this little man gets here. <br />
<br />
Now I need another project for my house. I'm thinking the downstairs bath as well as our master bath. Maybe the hubs will get some good tools for Christmas so he and my wonderful brothers can install some fun new tile. I'm sure I'll keep you posted. </div>Little House in Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06669695615680147868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949622296637802137.post-32384832420324071082011-11-17T22:47:00.001-05:002011-11-18T15:45:07.130-05:00Yellow??<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I'm in need of a yellow fabric (I think) for my mom's living room. The two parson chairs are finished and they look great. I need some pops of color with the new fabrics and my options are; yellows, greens, blues, and tans. Tan's don't really pop. Also keep in mind that there is an existing leather sofa and love seat that we are using. Since I think leather is more on the masculine side but good for kids and dogs, I want to soften it with beautiful fabrics. I found one yellow fabric that I really do love but I also love this bluish/green fabric (2nd picture). WHAT to do? Yellows are sooo hard to chose from - I can't have something too bright but I don't want it to look like a nuetral. Here's two fabrics that I think could work and one of them isn't yellow :-)<br />
<br />
The living room is coming together nicely. We are still searching for a paint color - the delay with this is because the space is sooo big it has to be just right. Hopefully the decision will be made on Sunday. </div>
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Every night this week has been incredibly busy with something so I hope by Sunday I will have most of the pillows done, finish the other cube, and pick the paint color. I'm also working on another e-design of what I want to do to our master bedroom over the next couple of months. Happy Friday everyone!<br />
<br />
Here's one of the yellow fabrics I found and the next one I just fell in love with so now I'm kind of torn. </div>

I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is next week and day by day my to-do list is growing. Speaking of Thanksgiving - I wanted to take a second and reflect on what I'm thankful for. Life goes by so fast that it's easy to go through the motions without being thankful for the small things. I am extremely thankful for my wonderful husband, family, friends, and abundant blessings that have followed me through my life. ALSO - our little boy who is due in January; every day I get more and more excited about meeting him. Lastly is something new I'm thankful for - this blog - I didn't realize how much fun I could have sharing about something I'm passionate about. <br />

Since my last post I have been frantically working on trying to finish the other storage cube, sew some pillows, and pick a paint color for my mom's living room. Last night I worked on some throw pillows - here's the result of one of them. It didn't turn out the way I wanted it, so I have my work cut out for me over the next couple of days. <br />

Here's a quick back story on how I started sewing - <br />
<br />
A couple of years ago my girlfriend and I were walking through a fabric store and I decided since throw pillows cost so much money I was going to start making my own. I think at that exact moment my obsession for home decorating began. I grew up watching my mom, grandmother, and aunts all sew, so I knew I had some good teachers if needed. Plus I figured how hard can it be to sew a square?? I immediately went home and convinced my husband I needed a sewing machine. He thought I was crazy. WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS I going to do with a sewing machine??? After much debate, I won and happily clicked the "purchase" button.<br />
<br />
A couple of days later my sewing machine arrived and I was determined to show my husband this would be the best INVESTMENT ever. Every weekend I would run to the fabric store and buy more fabric to sew more pillows to prove to him this machine was worth buying. In the midst of trying to prove to him this was worth the money - I fell in love with decorating and re-decorating. I think every project has improved my sewing skills and I truly look forward to accomplishing a project. I have made so many pillow covers it's kind of insane. The majority of them are sitting in my craft box waiting for someone/anyone to use them at this point. You many ask - why so many?? Here's the thing - whenever I want a quick update to my home, I run to the store, pick a fabric, and sew a couple of pillows. It instantly changes the look of the room. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;">
Recently my sewing skills have expanded towards sewing curtains, crib skirts, and slipcovers to recover anything I can get a hold of. Since I'm working on this project for my mom I figured I would help to keep cost down and sew everything myself. Plus I love a good project. </div>

Hope everyone is having a good week. I'm so excited about the weekend. Besides my house projects that will keep me busy we have a great party that we are going to on Saturday and on Sunday we are celebrating a bunch of family birthdays.

I will have to improvise with the budget and finding everything to go with the original pieces that my mom has, but here's an idea of what I'm thinking about. This living room is a huge space so we are going to incorporate two different areas. One for seating and then possibly a reading corner with the two arm chairs. </div>
<br />
I found an amazing mirror at HomeGoods on Friday and I can't wait to show it. It was exactly what I was looking for but half the price. Can't wait until it all comes together. <br />
<br />
As for the nursery we did hang some prints this weekend and I'm still waiting on my curtains which should be done soon. Since I'm in the homestretch of my pregnancy I'm trying to get the majority of my house project done before the little man comes, so I'm super busy. There's a long list but the top priorities are the nursery, living room, and getting the house ready for the Holidays!!! I LOVE CHRISTMAS and love decorating to make my house festive. I have a couple of fun projects that I'm working on as well - I'll be sure to share. <br />

Here are some pictures of the nursery in pieces. The rocker was delivered yesterday and it's so comfortable. Good thing since I hear I will be spending a lot of time in that chair. The biggest thing I'm waiting on is the curtains and that should be done in the next two weeks. Hopefully by December 1st, the little man's room will be done so I can run around and finish my holiday shopping. Here's some pics - ENJOY. </div>

<br />Little House in Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06669695615680147868noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949622296637802137.post-56862765622023897192011-11-08T23:32:00.000-05:002011-11-09T22:13:08.398-05:00DIY upholsteryAs I mentioned in Monday's post - DIY upholstery is one of the easiest ways to customize your look. I found these great storage cubes and am getting ready to recover them with a fabric that I LOVE for my mom's living room. If you can see past the UGLY it will totally be worth the time invested. <br />
<br />
I thought this project would be a quick and simple fix to turn these ugly ducklings into beautiful swans, I was mistaken. After I sat down to measure out the fabric and make sure I had enough for both cubes, I realized my project was going to be much more labor intensive. Not only do you need to make sure your cuts are exact, but due to the intricate pattern - the sides won't match up with the lid without actually sewing all four side. Now, I realized I would be sewing much more than anticipated to accomplish perfection. <br />
<br />
Of course if you don't care then you could simply wrap the fabric around the cube and sew only one side. Since this is for a client (my mom) I actually want everything to look perfect. So by the time I cut all the fabric, pulled out the screws for the lid, and lined up everything to get ready to sew, I didn't have it in me to pull out the sewing machine and finish the project last night.<br />
<br />
After a long day at work I really wanted to get started on at least one of these cubes. So I just finished the first cube about 10:30pm. With one done and one to go I can hardly wait for these beauties to be completed. I was hoping for perfection - let's call it 98% perfection with bits of imperfections throw into it :-)<br />

Over the past two weeks I have watched my ideas start to come together and I can hardly wait for the big reveal. I have the upholster coming on Thursday to pick up the arm chairs and I think I found the fabric for the wingback chair. I still need to sew some pillows, buy some DOWN inserts, pick a complementary paint color, and start putting the pieces into the room. Word of advise in regards to throw pillows. INVEST in some down/feather inserts. They will make the room. You really don't want to skimp on some polyester inserts that you can't use. I made that mistake and almost immediately had to replace them with a better quality insert. The best thing is - they aren't that expensive, Ballard Designs and Pottery Barn have great ones to chose from. Also, some great fabric stores have them for a decent deal. (Additional Note - one of my girlfriends mentioned IKEA has great inserts for super cheap - thanks Nellie!)<br />
<br />
My goal is to upload before pictures this week but since we have a baby class, full-time jobs, family in town starting on Friday, and a couple of thing in the nursery to wrap up - I'm really going to try to set aside some time to get these pictures done. <br />
<br />
Any fun projects out there that you have watched come to fruition over the past couple of months? If your looking for inspiration - head over to Pinterest, you will find plenty of ideas there. You can click on my Pinterest button to the right and see if you can draw inspiration from any of the thousands of boards out there. Can't wait to share more. <br />

As I mentioned in my last post I'm working on a project for my mom's living room which needs to be done by Christmas. So I spent most of Saturday picking out fabrics and paint colors. Sunday was spent attempting to get the nursery ready for my sweet little boy due in January. Since I'm in the process of putting together an e-board for my mom's living room, here's my progress so far: I finally chose three fabrics for inspiration - Here are some pictures - more to come over the next couple of weeks. <br />

It's kind of crazy how the computer changes the colors of these fabrics, but these are beautiful fabrics I swear!! The paisley that I'm using actually has some really pretty colors of blues and grays with some tan. I'm still on the hunt for a herringbone fabric to recover an ottoman that will serve as the coffee table and another fabric for roman shades. This is the herringbone I'm thinking of:</div>

Whenever I go to Home Goods or TJMaxx I'm constantly on the lookout for solid pieces of furniture that has potential to become something beautiful. I knew I needed extra seating for guests and storage for blankets for the living room. Today was the day that I scored a great deal on two storage cubes with feet. Did I mention that the fabric was hideous?! I was giggling to myself carrying these suckers out of the store because I wouldn't be caught dead with something so ugly. Here's the thing - it's soooo easy to make something beautiful if you have some time and a little creativity to see past the UGLY. It's such a simple project that I hope to finish this week. You will need a:</div>

<ul>
<li>Staple Gun</li>
<li>Sewing matching to sew the sides - or you can tuck the fabric in pretty snugly on the sides - whatever works best for you. </li>
<li>Screwdriver to pull all the staples out of the original fabrics.</li>

I think I mentioned that I'm working with a leather sofa and love seat. So I really want to brighten up the space with some pops of color and an updated look. I'm getting three chairs re-upholstered over the next two weeks and can't wait to see how they turn out. Re-upholstery in my opinion is one of the best ways to save money and get something custom made if you have a solid piece to start with. These are the pieces that I'm getting done. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<ul>
<li>2 Armchairs - I picked a really pretty Waverly Striped for these chairs (see above)</li>
<li>Wingback chair with an ottoman - I still haven't picked a fabric for this one yet </li>
</ul>

I'm working with a pretty tight budget so 1/3 will go towards recovering these chairs. The rest I will use to add accessories, throw pillows, paint, and some great pieces of art. More to come tomorrow - maybe I'll get around to uploading pictures of the nursery???</div>
<br />Little House in Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06669695615680147868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949622296637802137.post-75230169050044654472011-10-31T21:30:00.000-04:002011-11-04T20:15:39.106-04:00Living room makeoverI have my first big project!!!! A living room makeover for my mom!! Yes, it's my mom but that's ok everyone has to start somewhere, right? My lovely mother was kind enough to ask me for my help while she updates her living room. The kicker - everything needs to be done by Christmas within a tight budget. Since I'm 7 1/2 months pregnant I'm sure I'm going to be running around like a mad women trying to get this room done, finish the nursery for my little man, all while trying to save both of our pennies. <br />
<br />
Since the majority of us don't have the money to run out and buy new pieces every time we want to update our house - we will use a lot of the existing pieces. We will update the space with fresh paint, incorporate pops of color through fabrics, accessories, and more accessories. <br />
<br />
Here's where my inspiration has started. I love the light colors with color coming through on the accents that can change over time. The living makeover won't look exactly like this but I LOVE the clean lines, comfy look, and relax feel that these rooms present. We won't be going with light couches since my mom just bought some about two years ago. Since they are leather - we are going to incorporate colors through accessories. I'm in the process of picking fabrics right for accents chairs, pillows, and an ottoman. <br />

This week I am attempting to sew the curtains for the nursery - finalize the fabrics for my mom's living room, and find some great accessories to get this project started. </div>Little House in Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06669695615680147868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949622296637802137.post-78125244355169944742011-10-24T20:53:00.001-04:002011-10-30T09:55:41.769-04:00OH Monday!Monday's - they come and go so quickly. Today I thought a lot about this blog and what I really wanted out of it. I truly believe you see the benefits of your hard work if you give it 100% and do it with a passion. Since I'm passionate about interior design I really want this to be my creative outlet where I find inspiration on many different levels. Whether it's just re-doing my house or helping my mom re-do her living room, I hope to find creative ideas that I will be able to incorporate into my many home projects. <br />

Here are some pictures that I fell in love with while searching Pinterest. <br />

I'm in the process of helping my mom and dad redo their living room - so I'm in search of great fabrics, paint colors, and some good statement pieces. Pinterest is great for gathering ideas of what might work in a room.Little House in Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06669695615680147868noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4949622296637802137.post-28302318579164360872011-10-23T21:33:00.002-04:002011-10-30T09:56:07.289-04:00Creating a nursery - where do you even begin??????The most recent project that has taken up the majority of my time and money has been the nursery for our sweet boy arriving in less than 3 months.<br />
<br />
When I found out I was pregnant the first thing I thought about besides the sheer fact that I was going to be a mother was how I was going to decorate the nursery. Obviously there are millions of different directions you can go in and it all depends on what inspires you. My style is casual - but chic I like to think. I love classic lines, bold patterns, bright colors, and traditional furniture. Now-a-days you can find a great piece of furniture on craigslist, re-do it, and make it totally yours without spending a fortune. Once we found out we were going to have a little boy here are some of the pictures that pushed me in the direction that I'm going. <br />
