A Visit to Racheal's Room!

It's always a joy to arrive at the destination of a new client's home and find so many instant treasures!





Of course,I was thrilled that this charming parcel had a name!



This tiny historic door (with Black-eyed Susans on the front to boot!) filled us with instant anticipation for what might be in store. We weren't disappointed.



Racheal's cute mother had seen our sheer 100% linen embroidered dot soft roman shades in our recent designer room and the rest is history. Take a look at this adorable 4 year old's room dressed in twin beds with one of my favorite sytles of bedspreads. Linen upholstered twin beds flank this family heirloom-- the petal pink chest of drawers. It was my suggestion to move the chest between the beds and it was an instant "yes"!



I didn't think to take a shot of the windows dressed in the new linen shades, but you'll have to take my word for it...perfection!


We "ooo'd and awe'd" as we took in all the collectable accents around the room and Jackie quickly made notes while my mind worked overtime to conjour up additional layers needed to complete the room.


You must stay tuned for more progress on this project!




As we were leaving, I peeked into the rear courtyard, and just look at the color Amy (homeowner) had painted the guesthouse! Almost perfect "venetian gold"! This made my heart sing. I'll be anxiously awaiting our next visit to this charming historic home.

Backup!



While searching for the photos of the "before" room , I found the photo documentation of the measuring day,which I meant to document for you! These photos really start at the beginning, so let's backup for just a month of so........





Susan arriving on measuring day......pad and paper in hand. Where is my assistant?







Snow covered path to the manor house.....



Sensible show boots, as usual.......


With my hands full of paperwork, I dropped the steel tape......drat!

Never fear, all ended well, and I was able to record my measurements (without my assistant!)

return down the snowy path to the car, and return back to the office........now to begin the idea pool. What will I do?


You'll have to check back to see!
