Just a little to mix it up!

OK, so I am known for re-doing things very often!
I cannot help myself though, I get tired of the same thing because of the business that I am in.
I am always surrounded by wonderful fabrics choices, colors and lots of inspiration on a daily basis.

So, our Master Bdrm. is a combination of grays, whites, blacks and our bedroom furniture is a dark walnut color.

I do NOT intend to paint the walls just yet because I do love the colors, but I DO want to change up the accessories, pillows and the fireplace to make it a little different but not cost a whole rooms worth
(if you know what I mean)
I am awaiting the much anticipated return of my beloved WING BACKS for this room, and I have a feeling that they are going to look amazing.

(Before), After coming soon!
I went to my upholsterer on this one since he does an amazing job for the company I work for.  He is very reasonable and if you would like his information I can send to you.
When I get these back, I am going to get a rug for the area that they will go in, which will need to coordinate with the new addition of the yellow/gold in this room.

 My new fabric choice to incorporate was from this...

Click on photo to find source. This is a company that sells to a retail market.



 Pillows in this fabric have been made by my sweet Aunt J. She should really start her own business of draperies, linens, and pillows. I give her enough work as it is! =) She's the BEST!

I am also changing out the draperies in this room to a much lighter fabric, hopefully it will liven it up a bit!

If you can see them in this photo, they are changing...too dark on the bottom for me.
I cant wait to see the outcome of my additions to the room to "wake" it up for me instead of going through a complete RED-DO.

Sometimes I think I'm a little crazy, but then other times I think to myself that I'm sure someone, maybe just ONE person out there in the world is a little like me when it come to this!

One year Blogiversary!

Technically, it was yesterday a year ago when I posted the first blog to this site! I cannot believe its been a year in some aspects, but in others it feels like it has been an eternity.



I looked back on some of the projects that I tackled, and some that I wanted to tackle in the course of a year...and I think I did pretty well for the most part!
(while holding down a full time job and my Kreations business to boot!=)

I am currently working on a few things furniture wise....I'll let you in on a little SECRET! The WING BACKS are finally getting their much needed make-over and I cant wait to show you the outcome!

Thank you to all of you that continue to follow this blog and enjoy reading it as much as
I enjoy creating it!


XOXO, Ken

Happy 1 Year Blogiversary to My Palettes!
