I'm so blessed to be busy and even more blessed to have such great clients. This week I took one of those clients (who happens to be my niece) to the fabric store to help select fabrics for her new room. My sister and her family are moving to Arkansas this summer and yes, I'm super sad! To help ease my sorrow, I've jumped in feet first helping them with their new house. It's beautiful on the outside, but the inside definitely needs work. We have a long list, but first is paint and new light fixtures. Oh, and getting rid of that awful Bama red in the bonus room!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The house on Bird Dog Pointe is finishing up, just in time for the parade of homes in a few weeks. I've been working hard on putting together the design plan for the furnishings and I can't wait to present them next week. Here's a sneak peak at a few fabrics in my design plan for the family room and the kid-friendly keeping room off the kitchen.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, in addition to my client load, I'm redesigning my website, blog and business cards. It should all be ready to go "live" next week or at least in time for the parade of homes.

Little spaces are the best. Clients tend to be more open to color and pattern and we usually have a young one chiming in on what they want This was the last untouched room in the house since my clients built it a few years ago. Their youngest daughter was finally ready for a room of her own and requested "ballerinas" as her theme. As you can see we were working with a pretty clean slate...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first step in a room design is to always a create a furniture plan. What can we fit in here? The client needed a larger bed so the room could function as a guest room, clothing storage, a place for books and a cushion for the window seat - on a tight budget no less! So, we agreed to invest in the bed, dresser and window seat cushion, but then stretch the budget on all the details. </span></span><br />

I visited my Bird Dog Pointe project and am thrilled to see so many of the finishes going in now. This home will be featured in the Parade of Homes in May, so it's got a little special place in my heart. Plus, my client is a dream! She has two young boys and came up with the best idea for their bathroom tile. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are a little sneak peaks of what I saw yesterday. Lighting and counters go in next week, then floors and faucets. It's going to be beautiful!</span><br />

To give you an example of how busy I've been, I honestly forgot to wash my hair in the shower this morning. I was thinking about my day and literally, forgot.to.wash.my.hair! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Work has been really busy, but life has, too. The month started with a great conference in Atlanta (more to come on that later), tons of activities with my son, a trip to New York City for spring break and getting my work schedule ready for our upcoming <a href="http://jennifertaylordesign.blogspot.com/2012/09/my-other-life.html" target="_blank">The One Week Boutique</a> later this month. I'm not complaining - only justifying my lack of commitment to my blog. Is it working??</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My client from Atlanta just hired me to furnish some rooms in her new house, so I'm super excited about that. The house is really coming along and will definitely be ready in time for the <a href="http://www.tallyba.com/" target="_blank">Parade of Homes</a> in May. I love having a house in the parade and am looking forward to seeing all the selections come together over the next few weeks. I met with her at the house last week and the cabinets were just starting to be installed. Look at this detail we added in the kitchen island for her furry child...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also installed the last piece of art in another client's sitting room last week. She's a vibrant grandmother who really wanted the room to reflect her and I think we succeeded. She had a number of family pieces that she wanted to keep and a coffee table she loved, so with some great fabric and color, she has a beautiful new space! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first two photos are how the room looked before and then you can see the process of how we got to the final product. What a difference a little color and fabric can make!</span></span><br />

The remodeling phase of Chez Sois finished up last month and my client has officially moved into her new place. I received this email from her after her first night...</span><i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"It's just amazingly gorgeous to wake up to, and I do appreciate all of
the talent and knowledge you have put into making it an incredible place
to live." </span></i><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How great is that? It's just a wonderful reminder of how blessed I am to be doing a job I love. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I wasn't able to get in to do any formal "after" photos as she started moving in before everything was 100% done. But, I was able to get a few shots with my phone that I'll share today. I plan to have professional ones done as soon as all the furniture is installed. I promise, it will be worth the wait!</span></span><br />

I've been trying to fight it, but brass is definitely back in a big way in home furnishings. This is definitely not the 80's shiny brass or the antique brass, but a soft, colored brass. I'm working with a client now who is loving the brass for her lighting and I couldn't be more excited to see it all come together. Here's a little sneak peak of what we are loving today...</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My bathroom has been extra cold these past few days. It's on the corner of the house, has tile floor and I can't seem to keep it warm without making the other rooms 98 degrees. If I ever get to build my dream house, heated floors are in my future! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One idea that I really love, but have not had a chance to try, is layering mirrors. Most of us have a plate glass mirror above our sink. Instead of taking it down and replacing it with a decorative mirror, why not just use both? The large mirror helps open up the space more and gives you plenty of area to see all those gray hairs, then the pretty mirror gives your bathroom a little style.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you have a traditional tub/shower combination and need a shower curtain, why not try this easy update? Instead of one, purchase two and stack one on each side. Is your tub not always neat and tidy? Then, just close them up and enjoy the fullness the two shower curtains bring. When doing a custom shower curtain, I always want at least two times the width of the tub. Using two curtains gives you this and a little more. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another shower curtain idea, which I recently did for a client, was taking a ready-made shower curtain and adding a fabric band along the bottom. This does two things - gives you extra length and a design detail that's all your own.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rugs are another way to bring in some color, personality and warmth into your bathroom. I like using runners in front of sink vanities. The longer rug seems to work better than using a lot of scatter rugs around. I would suggest keeping the traditional bathroom rugs in front of your shower and tubs, so they can be easily washed. You can find stylish runners at <a href="http://www.target.com/c/runners-rugs-home-decor/-/N-56dud#?lnk=lnav_shop%20categories_6" target="_blank">Target </a>or Home Goods for a really reasonable price.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another trick I have found that was pretty and functional, is using a tray on your counter. I am lucky to have a lot of counter space and the tray helps break it up, along with keeping my every day products all together. Even if you don't have a lot of space, a tray can still help keep you organized. </span></span><br />

What started as a marketing tool for my new business has turned into much more for me. I've been able to share news about my business, advice about design and even some personal stories. I hope to be able to take this blog to the next level this year with plans to attend the Design Bloggers Conference in March. Thanks to everyone who has read a post, commented or followed me these past few years. I'm always amazed anyone even reads what I write! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought I would share my top three blog posts in case you missed them and can't wait to see what this next year brings Jennifer Taylor Design.</span></span><br />

What's even better about this particular match-up is I'm an Auburn girl living in the Florida State town. I also have a sister, two brothers and a brother-in-law who are all Seminoles. But my dad, stepmother and I are Tigers. That was never a problem in our family...until now. But, I say bring it on and may the best team win - barring any miracle throws, catches or flukes!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To celebrate my Auburn Tigers, I am sharing all things orange and blue, which by the way is a great color combination for a room or your wardrobe. </span></span><br />

Pine Fair is a home for a great, young family and I so enjoyed working on it with them. It's a wonderful mix of traditional design and some slightly modern touches. There is still lots of cabinetry work and cleaning to do, but it's really close to being complete. Here are few sneak peeks...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When a project comes to an end, it's always bitter sweet for me. I love my work and my clients, so it's hard to say "good-bye". Summer Duck was one of those projects where I had the best clients who trusted me to guide them through the difficult task of building a new house. What's even better, they trusted themselves to make some gutsy decisions and pushed through to get them done. I was able to get over one last time before they moved in and of course, the painters were still there doing last minute touch-ups. I really wanted to have this house professionally photographed, but it just didn't work out</span></span>.<br />

I really needed to step out of my comfort zone, so I agreed. I was the only interior designer on the agenda and I spoke about how to bring color into your room using fabrics. I was super nervous, but was told I did a great job. I definitely prefer the one-on-one presentations best, but this was a fun experience I'll always remember.</span></span><br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Tips for
Mixing Fabrics and Patterns</span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">TIP #1</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Start with an inspiration
piece!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For me, that's a fabric, but it
can be a</span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> rug or a piece of art. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If it's a fabric, select one with a pattern
using the colors you want to bring in the
space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You don't have to use this
particular</span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> fabric on anything large, even just
a pillow is enough of a statement.</span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">TIP #2</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Then, start looking at coordinating
fabrics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Don't think about where a</span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> particular fabric will go, just get
as many choices as you can.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stripes, textured solids, small scale
patterns, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I'd find six or seven
options, as you can easily edit once you are home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">TIP #3</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Finally, when thinking about what
fabrics will go where consider two things; the scale of the fabric and how durable it is. Woven fabrics, with texture, are great for upholstered pieces that get a lot of use. Linens, silks and embroidered fabrics work best for window treatments and pillows. Color AND texture are important when mixing fabrics. You not only want the fabrics to look good, but feel good.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span></span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"></span>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">TIP #4</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Trims are your friend!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can put them on pillows or use them as
bands for simple drapery panels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These
are the details that will give your room its personality.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">TIP #5</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Keep trends for the smaller, inexpensive
items in your space like pillows and</span><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"> accent chairs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bigger items (like your sofa) should be
upholstered in a neutral fabric so you will love it for years to come!</span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">TIP #6</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;">Follow your gut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>9 times out of 10, you will go with the first
fabric you liked. Don't wait thinking something better might be out there. Once you make that first commitment, then all the others will fall into place much easier.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Even with the best laid plans, things don't always come together as you hope and Chez Sois is no exception.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The kitchen selections were all done, but then the inevitable back order happened. The accent tile wasn't available and the company couldn't even tell us when it would be. With the counters already ordered, we made a safe decision by going with the mosaic version of what we already selected for the field tile on the splash. This ended up being a much better choice than our first!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is what we originally picked out...</span></span><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span>The quartz counters
were white with a warm neutral veining, cabinets were white, main field
tile was a white/gray marble and our accent tile (the sample leaning
against the cabinet door) was going to tie it all in together.</span></span></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once everything was installed, my client just wasn't happy with the white counters. She waited until everything was done before deciding, but it just wasn't working. I'm proud of her for not just "living with it" and regretting it years later, but it was definitely a delay and expense we weren't counting on. So, gray counters were ordered! Thankfully, we were able to use the first set of counters on another project.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The new counters were installed last week and I took a quick picture before they had finished up...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With all that was going on with our counters, the contractor made great progress on some of the trim details we had planned. He was very patient with us in laying out the mantel and paneling on the walls so my client could envision everything he was going to do. Here's how the mantel literally came to life this week... </span></span></div>

I know most designers don't like to reveal their "sources", but I don't mind talking about the ones who deserve a little love. <a href="http://www.tritterfeefer.com/" target="_blank">Tritter Feefer</a> was a furniture company recommended to me by other designers I know, so they were on my short list of vendors to visit.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They are a small, family owned company in LaGrange, Georgia (which is only about 200 miles from Tallahassee) and their items are made in the USA. Not only that, but they offer tons of great finishes and everything can be customized. A designers dream! I can't wait to use them on my next project...</span></span><br />

I also did promise to give away something great I found at High Point, so here's the deal...</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm a huge fan of flat weave rugs. They are everywhere and for good reason. My favorite thing about them is they are reversible. I also love all the fun pattern and colors they come in and the price point is really great. To celebrate my love for <a href="http://www.surya.com/rugs/" target="_blank">Surya's</a> flat weave rugs, I'm giving one away to a lucky follower of Jennifer Taylor Design.</span></span><br />

Market was definitely worth it, but man I'm wiped! Obviously, not tired enough as I couldn't wait to sit down and share some of my favorite finds with you. I had a long list of items I wanted to find for clients, but I was also going to be inspired and I was. The displays themselves were works of art, the products were to die for and I also had some great southern food!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked up two lines that I'm really excited about. One is <a href="http://www.caracole.com/home" target="_blank">Caracole</a> and their tag line is "high style, high value furnishings", which somewhat represents what I'm all about. When I first arrived at their showroom I wasn't sure they were for me. I was assigned a salesperson and escorted onto the sales floor. This usually means they are either so exclusive (aka super expensive) or they only cater to the larger retailers. I was wrong on both counts. They couldn't have been nicer and they are designer friendly. Oh, and affordable. They didn't allow photography, but here are a few of my favorites that I pulled off their web site..</span></span><br />

There's just something about designing spaces for children that really brings out my creative side. On the agenda are two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a playroom. Paint colors are already in place in the bedrooms and playroom, but the bathrooms are fair game - do I hear wallpaper books calling my name??</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're starting in the youngest girl's bedroom and bathroom as her room never got fully finished and it's pretty much a blank canvas. The crib is staying and my client has a piece of art she wants to use as "inspiration" for the room. The paint color looks awful in these photos (sorry!), but it's a beautiful shade of pink...</span></span><br />

I design a lot of showers and one of my biggest struggles is what can we do to really give this space a unique look, without it looking dated in a few years or breaking the bank. I also like to do something a little different for each client and that creates even more angst in coming up with something creative.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cabinets and counters have been finalized and will be installed in just a few weeks. We're doing something unique to me for the master bathroom - ordering the cabinets online. The vanity layout is pretty simple and it's saving over 50% from having it custom-made. Thank goodness our contractor used to be a cabinetmaker, so I'm pretty confident he can make it work and look great!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We found this little beauty for the powder bath vanity. It has beautiful deep blue veining that will be perfect with what we are doing on the walls.</span></span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the first time, my client is leaving for a long vacation in the middle of a renovation. She is trusting me to be her eyes and ears and I'm totally up for the challenge. </span></span><br />

Honestly, I did have reservations as I've heard every horror story in the book. Now, I'm not saying run out and let them design a new kitchen for you, but if you are wanting to update a few simple things and you have a tight budget - and you are willing to take the chance of not ever have anyone to help you - then these stores might be a good fit.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently took a trip to my local Home Depot with a client. She's building a new house and has been great at really stretching her budget. She had found some tile for her master bathroom and wanted me to look at it. I was blown away! We sat there, in the aisle, and designed her entire master shower using stock tile.</span></span><br />

We are doing a herringbone pattern using the 3x6 tile along the top of the shower walls, then adding this great railing and filling in with large tiles the rest of the way. The black dot mosaic is for the shower floor. This will tie in great if she decides to go with the black honed granite on her vanity counters (fingers crossed).</span></span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lighting is another way you can update a room and I've found some great options that I would totally specify for a project. A new light over your breakfast table or pendants over your island would really breathe new life into your space! Not to mention, some personality. Lighting is a place to take a chance as it's easy to change if you get tired of it in a few years.</span></span></div>
