Wood Ceiling

This high-ceilinged room needed something special.

I started by creating some faux beams and painting a dark color in case any knots allowed the ceiling to show.

 

Rustic Barn Door

What a great way to make art functional–a barn door. This belongs to another Pinterest-inspired client.

Picture Ledges

I wanted to display a variety of pictures of different size, but didn’t want to buy and arrange frames on the wall.

So picture ledge to the rescue!

Each picture is mounted with always-sticky glue onto 1/4 hardboard. This allows changing out of pictures periodically–and pictures can be mounted to both sides.

I like to burn words into the wood so that as you get close to see the pictures, you get a beautiful poem or verse to go with the mood.

Unique Cord Wrap Chandelier

A Pinterest image started a client’s love affair with this light fixture. The home wasn’t conducive to the rustic feel of the Pinterest inspiration, but it was easy to modify for their space.

 

Spool Light Fixture

The same space as the wood wall needed an updated light fixture. I found a spool at the electrical supply shop by the dumpster.

The spool was just shy of 4 feet across, so this definitely fills the space and makes a statement. The lantern style could be changed since they are effectively pendant lights.

 

Two Story Feature Wall–Wood and Roman Shades

This tall space needed some pop since it’s the part of the house seen upon entry through the front door.

Varied sizes of wood, all stained the same color make an interesting and soothing mosaic.

Additionally, the white blinds just didn’t work with the wall, so I created Roman shades to blend in more and are adjustable both up and down to allow the perfect amount of light and privacy.

 

Small Bathroom with Wainscoting

This little bathroom was builder-grade-bland. It needed a new vanity, mirror, character, and color.

The other challenge was to create access to the dryer hook up via the shared wall.

The wainscoting was the solution. One of the panels serves as a hidden access door.
