• ~Living Room Tweaking~

  Keeping it cozy in taupe ~ The defining pieces are the chandelier, once brass…no problem, spray painted black it warms up the space. Once heavy drapes replaced now with a simple pumpkin linen. Once red brick was too brash, answer..Paint! The finale to this room was not to simply disguise a no longer used fireplace, but to make the space work…just in a different way. A custom designed unit was built to complete the “meant to always be here” look [...]

• ~A Bit of Home~

  The little parlor in The Painted Nest, is waiting… she lingers between fall and winter. Thanksgiving will find her adorned in deep rust reds. Her memory table drawer will be redone… with new treasures of family heritage. In this old room, new memories will be made. New pillows will adorn her feather sofa. Little hearts filled with expectation will giggle and shout. I love the word “home”, don’t you? Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

• ~A Wee Bit of Fabric~

  I am not really sure that you can put a specific design name to The Painted Nest. Our cottage doesn’t fall into one style category, for it reflects not only our farm life…but our outside interests. (click pics to enlarge~if you dare!) Items we have gathered on our travels here and abroad…fill our home…as well as wondrous treasures passed from generation to generation. And there are handmade treasures that tell secret stories. Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

• ~Colored Pencil Sketches~

  Not every rustic home, such as a log home has rustic furnishings. There are times when rustic applications such as stone and timbers will meet the flair of contemporary styles. In these sketches I show how the love of Italian modern pieces can be brought into the country getaway lifestyle.   Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

• Merry Christmas Miss Boog

  In the basement dark and deep lurks a lioness who rarely sleeps. She stalks the forests of children’s trees which are gilded with ornaments in lieu of leaves. She nibbles and she gnaws and bats the tinsel with her paws. Quietly she listens as the lights glisten to hear the tunes play in the room. Her favorite lines are those that rhyme she meows them till dawn. Say a Merry Christmas to The Muse’s Miss Boog Padawan ! (please forgive [...]
