One of the things I mentioned in my previous post about my side job as a corporate office decorator, was the need for artwork for our walls. With a full blank slate to work with we needed something to add life to our space. Luckily, I run the in-house creative team.

Let me tell you something about myself, you may already know. I tend to take on more than I should and I have a really hard time telling people no.

before and after – living room reveal
I have another reveal! Two reveals in a row, it must be a good week! But before I jump into the reveal, I'm begging for some good vibes. We have our final inspection today for the central AC unit we had installed in the back of our house for the family room and master bedroom. We really need to pass so if you have any good thoughts to spare, I'll gladly take them. I promise to give them back.Our living room has been pretty close to being done for some time now, but for some reason I have never … [Read more...]
