Guest Blogger: Kristie from The Decorologist

Hey guys!  I'm Kristie Barnett of <a href="http://thedecorologist.com/" target="_blank">The Decorologist</a>.  Today I'm sharing a project that required a major color makeover.  When my client bought this home last year, it was too dark for her sunny personality. There's nothing like a whole lot of white to give a dated home an instant facelift.  With a backdrop of white, even hints of color pop - like the turquoise and pink you will see throughout this space.<br /><br /><img alt="white slipcovers" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19708" height="452" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_5290.jpg" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="http://melaniegphotography.com/index2.php#/home/" target="_blank">Melanie G Photography </a></i><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">There's absolutely nothing like a good before-and-after, especially when I get to take part in the magic! So let's start with the "before" of the front room of the house:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div><img alt="DSC_7944" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19893" height="452" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_7944.JPG" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>before </i><br /><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: left;">My client, Christiana, wanted a breezy space with only a whisper of color on the walls.  I brought out lots of colors to show her, and she kept saying, "that's too much color!"  We finally chose <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/grayowl" target="_blank">Benjamin Moore's Gray Owl</a> for the walls and <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/oc-65" target="_blank">Chantilly Lace</a> trim.  Gray Owl, a light gray with the slightest blue undertone possible, is the perfect backdrop for all her white fabric and painted furniture.<br /></div><img alt="benjamin moore gray owl" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19894" height="452" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_5220.jpg" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <i><a href="http://melaniegphotography.com/" target="_blank">Melanie G Photography</a></i><br /><br /></div>At my suggestion, she actually painted the 1980's glossy wood grandfather clock white.  The piano you see is next on the list for a paint makeover!  I have another client who no longer needed it, so I hooked them up and Christiana got to take this baby home for FREE. <br /><br /><img alt="white dining room" class="aligncenter" height="525" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_5281.jpg" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="http://melaniegphotography.com/" target="_blank"><i>Melanie G Photography</i></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />Maybe I can convince her to paint it <i>turquoise</i>!</div><img alt="white plates on wall" class="aligncenter" height="1022" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_5276.jpg" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i> <a href="http://melaniegphotography.com/" target="_blank">Melanie G Photography</a></i></div><br />Again, the previous color palette was warm and fairly dark.  It's difficult to imagine all the white furnishings in a space like this, isn't it?<br /><br /><img alt="DSC_7943" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19926" height="936" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_79431.JPG" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>before </i></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">This inexpensive <a href="http://amzn.to/15pBxrc" target="_blank">IKEA light fixture</a> makes a formal entry a bit more playful.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><img alt="white walls" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19924" height="948" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_7199.JPG" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i> <a href="http://melaniegphotography.com/" target="_blank">Melanie G Photography</a></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The dining room serves double-duty as a homework and craft space for her children.  The lack of overhead lighting makes an opportunity for creativity - my client hung an old ladder from the ceiling and uses it to hang paper garlands, pom-poms, and other crafted lovelies.<br /> </div><img alt="gray owl living room" class="aligncenter" height="473" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_5222.jpg" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://melaniegphotography.com/" target="_blank"> <i>Melanie G Photography</i></a></div><br />This is a "before" shot from the opposite side of the room.  The oak trim dictated warmer colors, not the cooler palette my client was hoping for.<br /><br /><img alt="DSC_7953" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19895" height="452" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_7953.JPG" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>before</i></div><br />The bright, white trim makes a huge difference in the space.  The oak trim pulled your eye and chopped up the room.  With white trim and light gray walls, the entire room looks larger, more open, and quite heavenly! Christiana made all of the beautiful slipcovers in this house.  Her specialty is ruffled tablecloths, which you can find in her Etsy Shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ruffledlinens#" target="_blank">Ruffled Linens</a>.<br /><br /><img alt="shabby chic dining rooms" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19896" height="452" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_52471.jpg" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i><a href="http://melaniegphotography.com/" target="_blank"> Melanie G Photography</a></i><br /><br /></div>As we move into the family room, you can see how dark this space was previously.  Although the paneling had already been painted, the brick wall dominates the space and the oak beams look dated. <br /><br /><img alt="red brick wall" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19921" height="452" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_7965.JPG" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>before</i><br /><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: left;">To give my client a clean, fresh look in this living room, I chose <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/classicgray" target="_blank">Benjamin Moore's Classic Gray</a> for the walls, <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/chantillylace" target="_blank">Chantilly Lace</a> for the trim, <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/kendallcharcoal" target="_blank">Kendall Charcoal</a> for the beams, and <a href="http://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-color/grayowl" target="_blank">Gray Owl</a> for the ceiling.  Of course she wanted a lighter, brighter room, but Christiana had no idea how much LARGER her room would appear with the new paint color scheme.<br /></div><img alt="shabby chic living room" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19709" height="452" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_5147.jpg" width="680" /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>after </i><br /><i><br /></i></div><div style="text-align: left;">Christiana ordered a <a href="http://amzn.to/1fdVti8" target="_blank">large jute rug</a> from <a href="http://potterybarn.com/" target="_blank">Pottery Barn</a>, and then we layered it with a smaller, graphic blue-and-white <a href="http://amzn.to/1dhjDvz" target="_blank">flat weave rug</a>  I found on <a href="http://rugsusa.com/" target="_blank">RugsUSA</a>.<br /><br /></div><img alt="turquoise white living room" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19710" height="452"

target="_blank">barn sale outside of Nashville</a>.  <br /><br /></div><img alt="turquoise lamp" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19711" height="544"

Napoleon!</div><br /></div><img alt="white mantel" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-19712" height="454" src="http://thedecorologist.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/turq/DSC_5270.jpg" width="680"

<div style="text-align: center;">Hi Everyone,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />I'm Jennifer of the blog<a href="http://www.jws-interiors.com/"><b> JWS Interiors/Affordable Luxury</b></a> and am thrilled to be guest posting for Erin today. Thanks so much Erin for the opportunity to blog for HOT readers! So thrilled for you and your family with your new baby!<br /><br />I wanted to share with you today photos of my family room which I recently completely.  As an interior decorator and mother of two daughters under the age of 7, I am constantly looking for ways to beautify and simplify our home without breaking the bank. Messy hands can do a number on upholstery, so when it was time to re-do our family room to allow for more seating, I had to stay on budget, yet still wanted the end-result to look <i>and</i> feel luxurious while maintaining family-friendly pieces. (Interested in where some of the items were purchased? Sources are listed after the last photo)<br /><br />For more daily <a href="http://www.jws-interiors.com/">design inspiration</a> or if you are interested in an <a href="http://www.jws-interiors.com/p/services.html">E-DECOR service</a>, I invite you to check out my blog!<br /><br />XOXO<br /><i>Jennifer</i><br /><i><br /></i> <br /><center><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-FQGkztT/0/O/i-FQGkztT.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-8fZdhH5/0/O/i-8fZdhH5.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-cZPJGxs/0/O/i-cZPJGxs.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-Dkc3wVt/0/O/i-Dkc3wVt.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-SfCnPdR/0/O/i-SfCnPdR.jpg" /></center><br /><br /><b>Quick background on this project: </b><br />The fun white chandelier from West Elm (discontinued) emphasizes the custom ceiling; I used two identical sofas (from World Market!)  to keep the space serene and then added the pretty linen pillows from HomeGoods to add some additional color and pattern.  The white flokati rug was a find on Amazon and "broke up" the neutral tan carpet and provided the perfect backdrop for the Oly Studio look-alike coffee table from HomeGoods.  To add additional character, I found the iron finials on the fireplace at an antiques market and then added the vases for photo purposes to bring out the colors in the art. Black and white frames are from Target.<br /><br />I did all of this without spending a ton of money, my kids can plop down on the sofa and I don't get worried about whether it will stain!</div>

Guest Blogger: Kathryn from Kathryn J. LeMaster Art & Design

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well hello there! Kathryn here, from <a href="http://kathrynjlemaster.com/">Kathryn J. LeMaster Art & Design</a>. I am just tickled to be here today filling in so our favorite HOT mama and her new little one can spend more time together and hopefully catch up on some well deserved R&R!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Like Erin and most of you, I can't get enough of the color turquoise and all of its beautiful variations. Though I've always been drawn to this happy hue, it seems to have snuck up on me in recent years, climbing the charts and becoming my number one favorite color.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />If memory serves me correctly, I believe it was all a head-first-downward-turquoise spiral after the garden stools. Ah, yes. The eye-catching, room-popping turquoise garden stools. A perfect pair.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiU9zjoeqC0svJ99TiVXnhP6LneGJ5e2uk5UG8jc3IezimH95s8rXqMGx-ReDQQCZGifalKHwkECAc96xx4BplbBuZoT6nVsErx1RLv1nDQzeJ4nMrl1bhgdmEweieUhuimM3r0MgwLRmeD/s1600/KJL+ENTRY_680.jpg" />Once upon a time I stumbled across them on <a href="https://www.onekingslane.com/invite/m-kathryn" target="_blank">One King's Lane</a>. They called my name and it was love at first sight. They now live happily-ever-after in my entry way (above). Each time I walk through the room they greet me with a cheery smile that brightens my day the way only turquoise can. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today I want to pass along to you the day-brightening smile that is everything turquoise.
