Happy Happy Happy Happy FRIDAYYYY! Mark and I are in route to Colorado as we speak this Friday morning but right now it is currently Thursday evening and I am switching off between packing and writing this post. I keep coming back to editing pictures and writing rather than packing. Because well… cold weather. Ughhhh I seriously cannot even handle the thought of cold weather. I would seriously rather live on the surface of the sun than Antarctica. Basically. BUT one of my blogger besties lives in Colorado and she is building the most gorgeous new home SO Mark and I have to come visit. AND another friend that I “met” through my adventures on Shark Tank also has a home in Colorado so we thought we would just pop over and see them both! In March. Brrrrrrrr….

Today I am soooooo excited to share an “Our Historic Wonderland” project that has been in the works for quite some time now…. window treatments!!! Did y’all now that I actually had a window treatment “workroom” in college? Yep, paid my way through college quite a few years making drapery for friends and family and referrals in the guest bedroom of our home. Mark made me a table, I bought a used sewing machine, took some lessons from Mark’s mom and the rest is history! I even sold some on eBay! Back in the day when there were like twenty auctions for one product and not 20,876,789. The point of sharing that story is simply to say that I LOOOOVE window treatments. Always have and always will. The perfect finishing touch to a space and that pop of warmth and cozy and elegance that almost every room needs. And wants. Yes, your home is basically asking for good drapery.

Hehe okay but seriously though, I have been dying to add that soft touch of fabric to our living and dining rooms. I knew it would make such a huge difference but I just honestly hadn’t even had a chance to do any fabric hunting. The ceilings in our 1905 home are almost 12′ high so finding finished panels is basically impossible. Well, it is completely impossible. Soooo I did a little fabric shopping online and after sending back two fabrics that did not end up being the correct colors in person, I finally found two fabrics that I LOVED… THIS Natural Linen Fabric for our dining room and THIS Winter White Velvet Fabric for our living room. I also found a wonderful local drapery lady and FINALLY had drapery panels made for our open living/dining room space. Next of course we needed drapery hardware. Beautiful hardware that would look perfect in this large, elegant space. Rods thick enough to not get visually lost with our high ceilings and custom sizes to fit the strange widths of our 113 year old windows.

The Kirsch brand dates back to the invention of the first flat curtain rod and the first telescoping rod by Charles Kirsch in 1907. Today, Kirsch is noted for a fashion forward line of Blinds & Shades, Decorative Hardware and Basic Hardware. The company was organized for the purpose of perfecting, manufacturing and patenting the simplest and most serviceable rods for modern draping needs. Being distinctive in design and finish, it met the demand for a strong, practical and durable rod. The Kirsch rod would not sag, tarnish or rust and its telescoping ability made fitting any size window possible. Kirsch immediately began packaging these rods, complete with brackets, and was soon shipping them to customers all over the world. And now they are also known for cut-to-measure hardware which is perfect for projects like mine! In doing a little research on Kirsch I even discovered that their rods were used in Gone With the Wind! How cool is that?!? I have seen an absolute ton of drapery hardware over the last 13 years of my design career and I can truly and honestly say that Kirsch Hardware is THE BEST! It is very well-made, in the USA, and has sooooo many products and finishes and materials.

For OHW, I fell in LOVE with their Buckingham Collection. Introduced in 1995, this line offers exquisite detailing, excellent craftsmanship and intricate, hand-finished pieces. This product is engineered to handle heavier fabrics, allowing for luxurious functionality. I chose the Buckingham 2″ Smooth Wood Poles with Starlight Finials, Brackets & Rings in the Shimmer Finish. And needless to say, they turned out absolutely STUNNING!!!! They even inspired me to finally complete our dining room and I am obsessed with the finished product..

P.S. My ultimate goal was for our drapery panels to just barely hoover the floor BUT with 113 year old hardwoods that are crazy uneven, it’s basically an impossibility to have them all hang identical. Just an FYI 😉

    Does the shimmer finish of your rods/finials come across more gold or silver?

A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... h A little Back to School "surprise" for Winnie... her very own little dressing area! #ad And a little hint hint for her to lay out her clothes the night before 😉 As y'all may have seen on my stories a few weeks back, I was deciding between two fun ideas during the C<span style="background-color: rgb(234, 212, 107);">reative Co-Op </span>#amazonprimeday and got y'all to vote. This full length mirror, pouf and ladder setup was the winner and my personal fave. Here's a peek at how it all came together and also take a peek at the Creative Co-Op brand store on Amazon for more decor like this!
I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And af I’ve had this image pinned for YEARS NOW! And after finally finding and then whitewashing two tables at an antique store a few months back, I decided to bring my inspo to life! And dust off quite a few of John’s things as well from his architecture books to his dad’s antique rail car lantern along with some of our travel finds to make it OURS. I’ve never loved a tv console more 💗💗💗
How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl' How does that saying go... “Curtains are a girl's best friend?? 🤣💗 I cannot say enough great things about how the windows turned out in my bathroom thanks to @calicocorners. I
searched high and low for the perfect window treatments in this space and I wish I would have known how easy it was to order from Calico's quick ship program earlier!  Oh and also, I don't have to take a shower in the dark anymore to spare the neighbors 😅😂

The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When The most satisfying project EVERRRR 💗 #ad When I opened the girl’s “art closet” last week to find a piece of luggage, I think the entire closet almost came tumbling down on top of me 🤦🏻‍♀️ With school starting next week, rather than imploding, I decided to get my girlies to help with a few organizational projects with the help of the CUTEST new Home Edit organizational finds at @walmart Winnie and I got to work yesterday and I think I’ve now peeked inside the completed closet no less than ten times already to relish in the beauty of the labeled bins 😉 Oh and I also detailed sizes for each bin in this video to visually help you with all of the online options.

Double Tap if you’re “Team Still Images” 🙋🏻‍♀️ Don’t worry… I absolutely am ♥️ It’s just been a while since I’ve actually gotten out my camera and photographed a space. Everything seems to be in every phase except completion. Except this space which incorporates every single thing I love in design… color, pattern, texture, warmth, meaningful touches and a piece of history…
