In this room I made all the pillows and the headboard. I cut the headboard out of plywood covered it with a faux tooled leather and made bamboo accents tied with a rough twine. The art to the right was made from an old frame sprayed gold. I put a velvety red backboard on it and cut and aged gold paper squares and arranged them in a falling pattern. The window treatment was a Bali blind sheer curtains and mini-bamboo lights along. Accents a few beautiful tropical flower pieces.

Our master was a creation of my inner designer. I have ocean blue for the paint color, ***(EXACT COLOR: We used ULTRA interior latex midtone base 41-1215 paint in eggshell. The color is 53D-4 Serene Stream We purchased the paint at a local home improvement store, called Menard's. ****accompanied by a 4 post modern meets traditional bed, matching chest and side table. I selected a white modern sofa table for added flare then refurbished an old piece of furniture and made it into a media cabinet. I selected interesting eclectic pieces for accessories. I have an extremely modern ceiling fan, and side table lamp. The white carpet came with the home and I would love to have dark African cherry wood floors.

When my husband and I decided to purchase a foreclosure as our first home we knew it would mean a lot of work, but despite our lack of any previous home improvement experience we were ready to roll up our sleeves and jump in!
The homes exterior was the last thing we decided to work on. Before, our house was definitely the sore thumb on the block. Everything was overgrown and flat worn out. Our brick looked tired and the forest green shutters were decidedly outdated. The landscaping was overgrown and poorly done. Everything blended together to create one big eyesore!
Now everything looks clean and fresh! Instead of screaming neglected it feels well-taken care of and inviting. We painted the existing trim, garage door, front door, shutters, and porch rails. We removed the partially there and partially missing spindles, added a beautiful wrought iron swing and some wicker furniture.
With the help of my mother's green thumb we created some gorgeous landscaping that included color!
Now when people drive by they stop and look for a GOOD reason! We just found out that we will be getting a new roof shortly too!! We are looking to install a slightly darker shingle when it's completed I'll be sure to post new pictures :

My husband and I wanted to create an upscale but comfortable and functional home theater without spending $50 grand. We came up with something that was featured in AV Interiors for its affordability and flair. I'm not usually a fan of red but my husband wanted to give it a try and I'm glad we did. Theaters tend to be darker so it is easier to get away with bolder colors and still not be too "in your face."

Hickory spice kitchen cabinets island granite countertops glass tile backsplash pendant lighting & built in banquette. We were working with a tight budget and did about 90% of the work ourselves from design to installation. Estimated savings of about $7000 in labor costs. It's a small kitchen but I think we've made the most of the space.Answering questions: cabinets are Shenandoah cabinetry Hickory Spice square. We saved approx. $1500 by installing ourselves.

This is going to be a long work in progress! My husband and I recently purchased a rustic mountain cabin. The kitchen is TINY! But I believe once it's finished and organized, it'll be great. This space has a tongue and grove pine cathedral ceiling and is extremely open. As you can see, it also has paneling. We aren't crazy about the paneling, but it will have to do...at least for now. I am going to paint the paneling downstairs (not yet posted to lighten it up. The flooring in the kitchen will eventually be replaced with pine planks. At the moment, it has 1975 linoleum that has black duct tape in the center. The dishwasher didn't work and I chose to not replace it do to lack of cabinet space. (We shall see if that lasts! There is also a pendant light which I refer to as a gypsy tea room light (no offense to anyone! that will be replaced by a lighted pot rack. A huge ugly awning hung over the range hood and fridge that took up 1/2 of the visual space. My wonderful hubby and his father removed it and I removed 35 years of grunge from the range hood. The Harvest Gold stove was original to the house and there was a rather small fridge. The cabinetry under the window is not in keeping with the house...It will be distressed and stained dark and have faux feet added and the broom closet/pantry will have Ice Box hardware! I have plans for this space but definitely welcome any suggestions!

We just finished creating our little girl's nursery. Leah Joy Vienna Martin is due on April 11th, 2010 and we were so excited to start this project!
We wanted a space that didn't scream KID'S room but something that we would also LOVE to spend time in.
The theme was modern elegance and the colors were pink, black and white!
We are SO pleased with how it turned out!
Enjoy!

Fireplace is now painted, the grout is not finished and we have not sealed the stone yet. We replaced the cedar shingles on our fire place with a stone.

We had two (way too large, garden areas and couldn't keep them maintained. Our dear neighbor Vern, had the answer and he went to work using materials we already had and then some. Wow!
