Monday Pinspiration: {Open Shelving}

Good Monday morning to you!  Hope you had a great weekend! 

Today I have rounded up my favorite photos from Pinterest that feature some amazing inspiration for open shelving in the kitchen!  We have open shelving in our breakfast nook and I love it!  It was by far one of the easiest DIY projects I have done and probably my most favorite!  I really think that the shelves, paired with my huge plate rack, really make the space...

Here are some of my favorites found on Pinterest:

Am I the only one ready to rip out my cabinets and add shelves everywhere?  I think the only thing keeping me from it is the fact that I would have to dust twice a day! What about you?

Enjoy your week!

 

 

Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate: {Antique Style Metal Bed}

Happy Sunday!  It has been awhile since I did a "Break the Bank vs. Cheapskate" post but I am excited to bring this series back!  I always love finding looks for less and sharing them with you guys!  I was sourcing metal beds for a client and came across this look-a-like duo!  There are just minor design differences between these two but the price difference is HUGE! 
Check it out...

Break the Bank:
Affiliate Link: Coleman Bed
$899 (queen)

Cheapskate:
Affiliate Link: Tilden Metal Bed
$339.99 (queen) +take an additional 15% off right now with coupon code listed on site}

Love the versatile style of this bed and it could go with any style of decor.  It would also be a great bed for a child's room, something that would grow with them!  Such a great find!!  What do you think about it?

What's New Wednesday: {E-design Projects}

I thought I would check in and share a few projects I have been working on lately!  I usually do not share my e-design projects since I cannot share the sources due to contractual agreements but I had so much fun designing these rooms, I wanted to share!

Being the mom of two girls, I had a blast working with clients on their son's rooms!

This client is expecting a baby boy this summer.  She asked me if "modern vintage" was a style and something I could pull off and of course, I said yes!  She had some basic ideas of what she wanted, neutral with a pop of bright aqua, so I worked off that!  Here is what I came up with....

She told me she would send pictures of the finished project and I cannot wait!

The second client is a repeat client...I have had a blast working with her!  I designed her entryway and we have had the worst luck making this design happen in real life.  Everything was backordered...then when the bench arrived, it was broken!  Not good!  Hoping for her sake, everything will arrive quickly and in one piece soon!  Can't wait to show you pictures when this is completed.  Her house is gorgeous as is and this will be the icing on the cake!

 

I was thrilled when she asked me to design her son's room.  I had so much fun with this room and again, cannot wait to see it all pulled together.  After I sent the design board to her, she told me her son said it was "sic" so I guess that means I passed the test with him! Ha! While designing this space, I selected items that are "cool" now and that will be "cool" as he gets older!

I hope to get to share the end result in a few months!

Check back soon to see more of my projects!
