Sneak Peek My Fixer Upper Bedroom Project

Awhile back, I posted a collage of inspiration and photos of a new bathroom remodel.  Both the bathroom and the master bedroom have been inspired by the t.v. show Fixer Upper.  Here's a teaser pic of the new shiplap walls, some of the bedding, and bronze hanging light fixtures. Just waiting on a few more pieces.  Stay tuned for the after photos coming soon!

The shiplap is up on the back wall, and it really adds great texture to the design.

Here's a close-up of the natural Belgian Linen quilt with a cream and green Damask Cotton duvet cover/shams.  Shiplap is painted with Sherwin Williams Shoji White.

Take care,

The Huntington Library-Chinese & Japanese Gardens Part 2

My recent trip to the Huntington Library and Gardens left me quite a collection of photographs.  As I mentioned in my first post, I was really impressed and surprised by both the Chinese and Japanese gardens.  My favorite kind of gardens tend to be European formal style gardens.  Although both of these types of gardens aren't necessarily in that style, each had their own unique style of organization.  Both incorporated water features in such a beautiful way.  These are some of my favorite pics.

Japanese garden rock waterfall.

Another walking bridge, love the reflection of the bridge in the water.

I loved the colors of this plant.

One of the buildings in the Chinese garden.

This is the view from the terrace outside of the restaurant at the Chinese garden.  This is another one of the structures in this garden and the reflection here was so beautiful.  

This is the view to the right side of the terrace.  I love the patterning in the wooden rail.

Love the detailed molding pieces along the curved roof line.

Another bridge, this time in the Chinese garden.

Take care,
