your home you posted by day by day design at 9 22 pm no comments labels fish originality wall covering wallpaper friday september 26 2008 question how do i distract the eye to look everywhere but my ugly carpet if a room is put together well the eye will naturally be drawn around the room from start to finish the colors should work together with the textures and the lines of the room to make the room completely fluid however if there is a certain aspect of a room such as ugly carpet that you want to keep from the viewer the best thing to do is to draw the eye up making the walls come alive is the best way to keep the attention from the flooring the correct lighting of artwork can turn a room from drab to fab another easy way to attract attention elsewhere is to bring pops of color into your throw pillows on the couches or in your drapery even better find a focal point in your room and make that the center of attention if these tactics are used the eye will be so distracted by the fabulousness of the room it will refrain from wandering down to your less than desirable flooring these strategies are best for flooring which is not absolutely unlivable but rather undesirable for issues with flooring that is unlivable i say a good rug is always in style some would say that having a rug on carpet is a lost cause i agree heavily as it adds dimension texture and color to a room while it is not a traditional solution if the correct rug is used it can be a quick cost effective way to cover up a floor you aren t crazy about also great for stains in carpet for information of

rooftop oasis when i am a fabulously accomplished designer i will have a rooftop oasis in the city just like this one posted by day by day design at 10 20 pm no comments tuesday august 26 2008 questions i recently had a suggestion for my blog that i use it as a place for question and answer sessions questions that the every day woman can relate to for example when i am hanging my chandelier over my dining table what are the measurements i should stick to what is the best color combination for a soothing relaxing bedroom what can i do with a cutout in my wall that i never use what can i do with color when we are renting and i can t paint what is the easiest way to paint textured walls these are the questions of the everyday woman and i have all of the answers to all questions design ok maybe not all but i will do my darndest to get all of the answers so ask away even if you dont have a design dilemma humor me and make one up seriously humor me you can leave the question in a comment below or you can email me your question all questions will remain anonymous thanks for the input posted by day by day design at 9 33 pm 2 comments friday august 15 2008 guest room i think this room is so much fun i love the yellow in contrast to the old european pictures and the dark furniture but it is a good thing this is a guest bedroom i think it is great to have a fresh bright color on the walls of your guest bedroom but if that was the color you woke up to every morning it would probably get old fast posted by day by day design at 11 36 am no comments labels bedroom guest bedroom yellow monday july 14 2008 riddle bathroom when the homeowner said she was interested in updating her bathroom i jumped on the chance to do the design of the new space after discussing color ideas i got started on the concept and color scheme of the new bathroom the existing bathroom was outdated and just needed a bit of color updating a few changes to some existing furnishings and some new accessories the bathroom already had some wonderful pieces those pieces just needed to be enhanced to make the overall design wonderful for example the cabinets were in great shape and the style timeless the hardware not sa much so a quick trip to lowes and we were in perfect shape for a simple update to a great original piece quick tip this is a great way to change up the look on your own cabinets without really feeling a dent in your pocket another one of my favorite ways to keep those pants clanking paint appropriate usage of color on walls can make a big difference in a small way before the homeowner had faux finish pink walls and that pink was pulling out the pinks that we didn t even know were there in the other materials in the room if you look at the room now pink would never come to mind but before the makeover everyone was seeing pink quick tip if you aren t sure about color choices make sure you ask for help color can be very tricky if you don t understand the principles of color before as you can see before there was a small flower arrangement above the toilet 2 toilet holders two towel racks a cabinet and some artwork the shower curtain was sheer black with pink flowers after like i mentioned before we did a small update to the hardware on the cabinet the obvious change of color and i took away some of the unnecessary pieces in this small nook my personal motto is just because there is wall space doesn t mean it needs to be filled you know the sometimes less is more for functionality we still kept 2 towel racks just positioned them more strategically in the space also i added a new plant feature on the toilet to help with the scale of the space and one of the toilet paper holders was removed the shower curtain was the first piece purchased it was really the color inspiration for the whole design the wall color is found in very subtle weaves throughout the fabric and the accent colors in the room found in accessories etc were also pulled from this piece as you can see the colors flow well creating a serene feel as your eye travels the room whereas before your eye would focus on the black curtain because it stood out from the wall so much and in this design that is not what we were looking for before clutter was the main issue in this area i played with options of organizing clutter or simply eliminating it and i choose to just eliminate it because of the size of the bathroom and the countertop space this is an option i was able to use i just hated having the beautiful countertops covered by baskets of makeup after like i said above de cluttering was the main issue here once that was accomplished i used the area to achieve the main goal of this bathroom simplicity elegance openness and serenity did it work before window right thats all you see here ya me too and that was an issue it just didn t work i mean yes it was designed that way for functionality but it simply looked off the wall art was also an issue 2 pieces not really functional for the space after i am a huge fan of natural light if you have it use it but like i said before privacy was a big issue so the window coverings needed to be functional so i used the idea of the half window being completely covered still kept the top portion of the window uncovered to let the light in but a bit of beauty was added to the top and edges of the window to give it a softer less demanding look also a new art piece was brought in to give fit the scale of the room and of course the towels were updated to match the color scheme quick tip originally the towel rack was centered on the wall good spot for it in most cases but for this room not good as you can see the cabinets take up a good portion of that wall and really made the towel rack feel of center so with a good putty job we moved the location of the towel rack to be centered on the space this gives the wall a much better look found these wonderful things at pier 1 imports so far my favorite location of this store is jordan landing just a little fyi this bench was super um what s the right word dated i thought about giving it a simple paint job to give it an updated look but once we had the walls painted i loved the color of the bench it really made it pop from the wall and because i personally love bones of the chair and it was perfect scale for the space i was really glad all we had to do was give it a simple upholstering job and accessorize it with a beautiful pillow the counter space was a bit of an issue do we place baskets for natalie to place all of her belongings in so that the area is organized or do we just get rid of clutter all together in the end the latter won the simple look of a beautiful center piece for the counter was all the convincing i needed plus now natalie doesn t have an option to be cluttered there isn t enough space so she has to put it away good no posted by day by day design at 10 56 pm 6 comments labels bathroom day by day design quick tip tuesday july 8 2008 ii think this design is worthy of mention don t you i am really loving the serenity of this room i love the tufted headboard it reminds me of downy paper towel it just looks so soft and fluffy i also love the function of the sconces on the headboard adding a bit of ambiance the bed frame and the cleanliness of the lines are probably the biggest contributions to the simplicity of this design adding a bit of color and function are the two small side tables and the two footstools posted by day by day design at 10 16 pm 1 comment labels
