My living room in my current apartment. Inspired by modern/chic decor. I decorated it myself. My inspiration comes from stores such as West Elm, Target, and Crate & Barrel.

My 15 year old wanted a more grown up room, so down came the yellow and blue walls, the Justin posters, the flower wallies. I started with her idea of a Parris theme, and worked around a beautiful dressing table we found. I spent a small fortune (for me on her curtains from another redo of her room so I had to try and fit them in by adding spots of pink around the room. I took down her ceiling fan and added the new light fixture. Because we buitl the bed in the unused attic space, I felt it needed something to extend into the room, so I used a chaise instead of a chair. I didn't want everthing just lining the walls. I do think it could use a bigger area rug, but I have to stick with something that can be thrown in the washer when needed. I wanted it to be taseful, worried about being tacky. I thought about black stipes for the walls but thought I would quit while I was ahead. Are there too many efflel towers?

I created a very tranquil and soothing nursery, keeping the color palette and accessories very light and airy. There are some vintage and shabby chic details with a little contemporary in the mix as well.

We recently (finally renovated / remodeled our master bathroom that had been sitting gutted since the day we bought our house - over 3 1/2 years ago. We finally were able to borrow the lump sum needed to do this massive makeover. The issue with the original bathroom - other than the fact that it was super dated (green wallpaper and yucky, was that the main drain was cracked and water was leaking to the floor below - into the walls and down to the floor. This is a second story bathroom and below it is the kitchen and dining room. Sadly the previous tenant was using the bathroom even with the broken drain pipes which had caused mold in the walls which we had to get professionally cleaned! Anyway, all that's in the past now and we have a fabulous modern (but comfortable master bathroom that feels like an expensive hotel / spa and it even has a view of the bay and golden gate bridge!
feel free to follow our blog for the rest of our adventures in home makeover here - http://fixerwithaview.wordpress.com - we even have a blog section about how we almost got onto HGTV's curb appeal - shot the reveal and everything before our project was cancelled.

We recently finished this bathroom remodel. My husband took a mahogany dresser that we purchased for $150.00. He completely refinished it and put seven coats of polyurethane to protect the top from water. When he cut the drawers down to accommodate the plumbing he detailed them so they would be completely usable. Some are deep so we still have good storage. We added a vessel sink with an oil-rubbed bronze faucet. Our floors are Tumbled Boticcino Marble. I made the shell/coral mirror with heavy duty hardware to support it on the wall. Color accents in towels, curtain and rug are Restoration Hardware Silver Sage.

A sleek, open contemporary design with a primary focus on our Japanese Garden and koi pond and a secondary focus on storage. The duel color cabinets are united with a dark crown molding. Necessity dictated that the kitchen blend with the living room as well as the' Niwa' (garden room. A strict budget required very careful shopping online.

It has taken at least 8 weeks to transform our 90' s wallpapered master bath into a spa like retreat. I finally found the artwork I needed to make the space more personal. Please let me know what you think.
