It's about texture at the Street of Dreams houses 2016!

Texture is the mix of materials that create eye appeal and can even be sensuous!

Part two of my Street of Dreams blog for my readers includes more ideas and inspirational photos to show how texture enhances a room.

It can be subtle or fiercely dramatic!

In this photo elegant champagne subway tile adds shine to the room.

Unique tile shapes of gray give a unique look to this fireplace.

Grass weave shades that are layered with a beautiful sheers drape is a well-designed look for this window.

The frameless glass shower door and wood textured subway tile are an interesting trend.

Compliments to the tile setter for outstanding work!

Not only is texture a standout in this master bedroom but the drapes that hang all the way from the ceiling creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Yes, you can mix woods and finishes.

From the stained pine ceiling to the beautiful basket weave wallpaper and yummy carpet, texture has created an amazing master bedroom.

I am in love with this natural wallpaper. I wish you could touch it!

I hope you have enjoyed the picture tour Part Two of Street of Dreams 2016.

Outstanding photos by Elle M. Photography.

Until next time,

Sweet Dreams!

Quarry Lake kitchen reveal

Hello again! My message to you this month centers on a goal – to update a kitchen without changing its bones, the kitchen cabinets or countertops. We were up to the challenge! As you know, what an interior designer does is reveal concepts that might not be obvious but make such a big difference. The short version is that we relocated the TV into the living room so this family of four and a lovely dog could hang out there more often …since the space was not used much. (I will share the new living room space with you in the future. In this message, it’s about the kitchen). ©Elle M Photography ©Elle M Photography Moving the TV created a gathering space that was inviting and cozy and closer to the kitchen/island area. Everyone likes to be near the food! Paint is a wonderful way to create change. The kitchen cabinets set the tone and, fortunately, this family is not afraid of bringing color into their home. The SW 9134 Delft gloss paint is t...

Useful ideas on choosing a bookcase

Du interiors Bookcases can be classical, fanciful, functional and personal …they really add to the anatomy of a room. They display your favorite reads as well as framed memories. There are so many options on deciding on the best for your nest. Here are important considerations. What Size Should Your Bookcase Be? The most basic consideration is size. How much space do you have in the room you have in mind? If space is ample, wide bookcases that measure several feet across are a good design idea. However, if room is small, go up! Taller bookcases work in space limitations, if you plan on placing a lot on them. Otherwise, one or more small bookcases would work. Measure the room before you shop. What Type of Bookcase Do You Want? If you need inspiration, we suggest checking out houzz.com , Pinterest, Instagram, and so forth. There are so many choices on the market. What is Your Budget? Prices range from several hundred dollars to thousands if you want a custom built-...
