In the world of ceiling fans that is. I found this design tip in my recent InStyle magazine, June 2009 issue. It’s all about how to add a pop of color to an otherwise blah feature. I love this idea since I am not really a fan of fans-okay bad joke. But I love this chic on the cheap way to make them a showpiece. I live in Houston where it gets hot! I mean tropical island, high humidity, body swelling from the heat hot! So I also understand that sometimes ceiling fans are a necessity. We are in the process of buying a home with freakishly low ceilings in some of the rooms (by the way, I am so excited and plan to share all my reno/decorating projects, but more on that later). And I think painting a ceiling fan a cool color just might be what we need in the game room. Hmm…I’m gonna need to think this one over. Click on the image below to enlarge and get the how to. Enjoy!Sorry for the lack of posts last week. Vacation got the best of me, literally!
I am constantly clipping magazines and books with rooms that speak to me. Most of them have nothing to do with children’s décor, but I love transforming the original into something oh so chic for kids. This room is a perfect example of what I mean. I clipped these pages from an April 08 In Style magazine article and have been archiving them to one day create my dream “big girl room” for my daughter. This room was designed by Mary McDonald an L.A. interior designer. Her website http://www.marymcdonaldinc.com/ features more of her amazing work. Here is what I would do to transform this room into my daughter’s sanctuary. Click on the picture below to enlarge. .jpg)
