In nursey/childs room - styencil a ruler grid lenghtwise to the top of the door in 2 or 3 different colors (blue and green for boy and pink and red or pink and brown...)
stones in empty hefty fraqmes. - kitchen counters are teal Corian underneath? They had them treated with a special paint finish to look like limestone. -Also she removed some upper cabinet doors to create open shelving.
Covered the bedroom floors in chunky wall-to-wall sisal carpeting. A neutral palette allows the textures and black accents to stand out, from the wicker headboards to the writing on the antique European mortar basket. Round mirrors over the twin beds mimic porthole windows without being too literal. LOVE!!!!
curtains are trimmed in tiny, delicate shells. I love the smaller size; it is a subtle detail that is a nice surprise. The shell trim is available from Samuel and Sons.com
Get the right composition right when hanging plates. I always try to think of them as sculptural and want to compose an arrangement that is interesting. Play with different arrangements on the floor first to come up with a good combination.
creat one-of-a-kind place settings - turn clip on drapery rings as linen napkin holder and place card. remove the clip from the ringlet. tie the paint swatch place card directly to the ringlet. Personalize each card withh letter stickers.
Use mason jars as glassware - mason jars are ideal for outdoor entertaining. Its wise to contain the mason jars on serving trays since the'll sweat like crazy in the sun.

LOVE this outdoor kitchen - everything is one 1 wall overlooking yard. bar with stools, then fireplace with T.V. over it, then your cooking area with built-in grill, fridge, freezer, sink, counter, cabinets - built all in stone. LOVE!!!!!
Love the gated porch on same level as pool. LOVE the different areas - dining, lounge, cooking, bar, reading chair and a few loung chairs. grill area is perfect for the cook, can still interact with the action - hes facing everyone - Perfect. LOVE!!!!
LOVE the colors . this little darling of an awning brings that Parisian feel in black and white. And adding the little bird and window box makes you feel like you are outdoors. LOVE!!!!
LOVE the black and white and the rocking chairs and table and chairs at the other end - all in black. white house, black shutters and front door. LOVE!!!!
Use your stained wood casing as a jumping off point - NEVER put stained wood cabinets adjacent to stained wood casing. The contrast that a painted wood cabinet offers just can't be beat. Not a fan of cabinets-matching-the trim sort of thing.
Use your white painted casing jumping off point - all white, casing, woodwork, beadboard, and other architecturaql elements. It really helps to give some splash of colkor here and there. This soft gray-sage kitchen desk is a great example. And see how the white baseboard transitions across the bottom to tie it in with the rest of the space.
Malibu Fish Plates - when you look at htis arrangement you can practically see a square border around the composition. Use painter's tape to create a frame border for reference when hanging the plates.
Use plate stands - add plain white or cream color dishes and platter then add some patterned dishes. This is in the guest bedroom. 3 small plates across the top add a sense if order, but overall the composition still has a casual feel.
