What I Should Have Posted Last Year

I was recently going through my IPhone pictures and came across some that I never posted of the Southern Accents showhouse during construction that I wanted to share with you.
Oak post and brackets on loggia


The stairhall ceiling under construction

The library paneling in Jacobean style

The ceiling of the formal living room


Wood Mode cabinets being installed in the kitchen

The laundry room Ann Sacks concrete tile, before grout

The outdoor kitchen

The deGournay wallpaper in the dining room going up

The staircase under construction.  Our carpenters built every bit of this in place including the hand-turned newel post finials.


The handmade tile in the formal living room fireplace.  From Ann Sacks and made in Maine.


The Thomas Grant chandelier in the formal living room.

I apologize for not posting these earlier.

Beautiful Red and White Living Room Designs

If you are looking to make the most of your living space, you need to think about what functions the room needs to be able to fulfill in order to make you happy. Good living room designs and ideas for a small studio apartment will ensure that it is definitely possible to make any room work well regardless of its size. If you have a small room, you need to look for furniture that is not too big and objects that will not overwhelm the space.

If your living space has to double as a bedroom, it is definitely a good idea to get rid of the bed. There are so many good alternatives to choose from and you can get them for a really good price. Why have a big bed in the space that will take up the much needed space in the room. Always try to look for alternatives in order to give you the best results and a more streamline studio.

One solution is to if you choose a sofa bed for the living area. You can ensure that the room is multi functional. You have the seating available when friends come over to visit and you can quickly adapt it into your bed when you are ready to go to sleep. Some people prefer a futon sofa bed as an alternative. Whatever you decide, make sure it is not too bulky for the space and that it fits in with the overall colour scheme of the room.

One of the most important things that you should do when you are thinking living room designs and ideas for a small space is to make a list of all the items that you will need for your studio apartment, then find out which items can be multi functional and which items can be found in smaller sizes. Try to do everything possible to get clutter to a minimum so that your home feels spacious no matter what the size is.

Beautiful Bedroom Interior Designs

The bedroom is in some ways the most important room in the house. It is the sanctuary away from the troubles of the world, the ultimate escape from day to day life. Behind closed doors in the bedroom, problems can be forgotten. To create a setting for restful slumber, think about what colors and styles produce the greatest happiness and peace of mind. In your bedroom, you can have the off the wall decorations you've always wanted. The bedroom is private, so the interior design of your bedroom is all about you.

Your bedroom does more than just serve the need for a place to sleep. It accommodates you at all times of day, providing space for reading, studying, watching TV, talking on the phone, eating, and using the computer. Because of this, the bed is no longer the primary piece of furniture in the bedroom. Bedroom desks, large nightstands, or a television might be a better focus for your bedroom interior design. If you watch a lot of television in your bedroom, you might want to consider a chair and ottoman for more comfortable viewing.

If you like to read in your bedroom, you should pay special attention to the lighting in your bedroom. Dim, moody lighting may be restful, but it will cause eye strain when reading. The lighting should be at a level where you do not accidentally shade it, and tall enough to shine light on the book or magazine. Bedroom interior design professionals suggest that when using lamps in the bedroom, the lower edge of the lamp shade should be around eye level when seated.

Remember to choose colors that you find restful when decorating your bedroom. Exciting colors such as red should be avoided unless you personally find them comforting. Strong colors have been said to promote insomnia. Designing your bedroom interior with a splash of a bright color will liven up a room, but it should not be allowed to dominate.

Layered curtains in the bedroom are and excellent interior design choice. This allows you to wake up to filtered light, open the curtains for full light, or black out the room for naps and sleeping in. Blackout lined draperies will protect you from morning sun, whereas sheers or thin blinds will filter light for a gentle glow in the morning. Bedroom interior design has many options, and can be tailored to your personal preferences. The bedroom should be your sanctuary, and it is important to feel comforted and restful when you are there.
