Friday, January 25, 2013. What's new in 2013? But no bother, these are things that will get done and be great in their own time.

Here's what the bookcases look like:. In other news, Guest House Interiors. Is moving along and recently I staged a home for sale with furnishings from The Borrowed Flea. I am still ...

Thinking outside the box and using the box........... | My Chic Retreat
http://mychicretreat.blogspot.com/2011/03/thinking-outside-box-and-using-box.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Thinking outside the box and using the box. I love architecture and get so much inspiration from people that have a vision and the skills to make it come to reality.

Wednesday, May 4, 2011. The entrance. Welcome to the greenhouse. Love this chandelier in here. I'll bet this looks so pretty at night. Even though this is space is small, the height of the ceiling and the glass panels makes this space feel larger. The light in here is so wonderful. Here's a side view of the greenhouse. The treehouse is just above it. Two totally different architectural styles but it works. It's a his and hers playhouse. So, are you inspired? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 160;Ever s...

Friday, June 3, 2011. The Breakfast Nook (A Before and After Story). Hi there and happy Friday! Let me show you the before first. I am happy to report that the dog bed has been relocated to a more appropriate place. Now, let's see the after . I don't know if you can see it clearly but there are vintage metal heater grates on the front of the benches. These are framed in to make little doors that pull open. The cable box, DVD player and receiver are all hooked up in there. I love the nook so much. Wha...
