Just About Jazzed

Well, well, well, where have I been?  Well, where have you been? Nobody came after me shouting, ‘Dawn! We need you Dawn! We miss you! We can’t go on without all this!’ Alright .  So you called my bluff-I give in.  I need you more than you need me.  I need to babble on about design and I need you to listen (Please….? Pretty please?).

Seriously I have been battling backorders, arguing with upholsters, meeting deadlines and dealing with touchy, creative types (like me…. not easy!).

Jazzy’s powder room has been installed and is looking great.  The unveiling occurred just in time for a family party and the word around town was that there was quite a line at the door. (There was mention of bad sushi, but I believe it was the décor-that’s my story and I’m sticking to it!  And, since you owe me one that can be your story too!)

I promised a creative ceiling and that’s what she got. I can never leave a bathroom ceiling alone. It’s my one quirk (no comments out there). In this instance, I didn’t want to use traditional grass cloth wallpaper.  I wanted something with that kind of texture, but with the ability to show some color through it.  That is where I used the bright yellow-gold. The walls were painted a green tea color (to be honest, “Jazzy” was a bit iffy on the color but after a few days (and bitch slaps) she really is liking it!).  

Isn't this 'jazzy'?

I then installed the wood carved wall shelves that really add the rich color and bring out the dark brown in the floor.  I still have one more shelf to fill.  I'll see if I can repurpose something from another room in the house.

 

Great wall shelves.  Fabric waiting to become something.

As wall art I took something personal like the kids’ silhouettes and mounted them on textured paper instead of the traditional white background. This filled the wall with impact without being too overpowering. Scored some points with the kids too!  They are at the age where they still enjoy looking at themselves. I added some greenery and the right colors towels and its ready to go- except for the window treatment. That is in the workroom and will be ready soon.  I can’t wait to see the fabric really bring it together. 

Unique wall art.

Cross your fingers-maybe you will get an invite for sushi!


Inspire yourself.
