Downtown Studio Salon

The Downtown Studio in Historic Downtown Rosenberg is pretty much one of the most gorgeous and swankiest salons out there, filled with interesting pieces of furniture in gorgeous glazes and finsihes. The salon is flanked by lovely boutiques, antique shops and a live theater is getting ready for it's grand opening in a few weeks. And this is where I work with an amazing team of stylists.

See this gold make-up dresser here? Yeah, it used to be mine here, and it got all glammed up. Just like the ladies who can sit in this area and get their make-up done and beautified right here in this front window.

Homefront: Halloween Decoratng

Our kid corner is getting a little bit of  a spooky glam makeover this month! I added blackout curtains in a pretty magenta color (clearance for $7 a panel at Wal-Mart)... that perfectly matches my Garden Ridge floral lampshade that graces my Goodwill crystal lamp. A pretty black and white geometric area rug from Garden Ridge grounds the area and provides a soft place for our new little, 5 1/2 month old speed crawler baby. Our dresser that has served as a changing table, kitchen storage, and now a toy storage and staging area, fits this space perfectly. An IKEA poang chair for $20 from a garage sale, and cheap and sparkly goodies make this space ready for Halloween.

  

 We love our fuzzy spider, I think we should name her Harriet.

Our large, ornate frame (from a garage sale we used for our family portraits) is a perfect backdrop for a small little vignette on our Expedit bookshelf.

I am going to be mega busy this weekend, doing tons of face painting and balloons for lots of Halloween parties! Here's a fast little pretty eye design I whipped up last weekend :) I hope to get a chance to breathe and update the blog soon, but if not, I hope you all have a very safe and very happy Halloween!!

Inspired Home: Gardener and Marks White Natural History Cottage

White, shabby, natural, light filled, old, rusty, sparkly, vintage, ethereal, industrial... some of the words that come to mind when I see these lovely images from Gardener & Marks, an Australian design firm, that also specializes in renting out props for a myriad of uses. This home was once a 1900's mattress factory.

Seriously, between the plank floors, exposed beam ceilings, natural history vibe, powder coats of white paint on the beadboard and brick for this industrial cottage feel, when can I move in?

Inspired Home: Bright Boheme

I am head over heels with this lovely bohemian home featured in Light locations (visit for more images). The home belongs to the wonderful photographer, Debi Treloar.
