Affordable, Colourful, Creative Mid-Century Modern

By SZInteriors, on February 3rd, 2012%

I went searching for some affordable Mid-Century Modern and came across a little extra colourful twist.

It started with this MCM furniture clipart…

Artwork Placement: It’s All In The Tweak!

By SZInteriors, on February 1st, 2012%

Artwork. It’s usually hung too high!

And just a little tweak can make a big difference…

I did not style the space below, and changing it up was not why I was there. I was specifically asked for advice on the placement of the large piece of artwork you see above the love seat.

What would your suggestion be?

I made my recommendation, and after I left the move was made!

This is the after photo the owner sent to me.

Taking the Inside Out!

By SZInteriors, on January 31st, 2012%

Here’s a small Pinterest round-up, I just wanted to share. I thought these ideas were a great toast to outdoor spaces, with a little creative use of indoor pieces!

Like this deck.

And when does a quatrefoil mirror not look good?

Change It Up… One-Two-Three

By SZInteriors, on January 26th, 2012%

So our stormy weather blasted through, flipped our BBQ over (yup, it’s toast), knocked our power out, and did in one of our mega UPS battery power bars… so glad we had the UPS though, or it could’ve been the audio equipment instead

Guess why this folding screen caught my eye…

Let’s just say I’m ready for some sunshine and colour! Bright, cheerful, playful and dry!

Since I’ve got you looking at the folding screen, I decided to share a few more. I know they’re nothing new, but they . . . → Read More: Change It Up… One-Two-Three

Kaleigh’s Room… More Changes

By SZInteriors, on January 5th, 2012%

I know by now you’ve seen Kaleigh’s room evolve post (as in article) after post after post, and then a post or two more… but that’s because we’re focusing on her room the most!

So this is the wall we’re working on now.

Once the mirror was hung up we knew there would be more wall space to cover, but the wall application Kaleigh wanted was engineered as a Christmas surprise for her. So that’s why it’s not finished just yet.

And my friend Danielle Hardy from Urban Walls just happened to be in on the surprise. Danielle helped . . . → Read More: Kaleigh’s Room… More Changes

By SZInteriors, on December 27th, 2011%

I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas, and are still enjoying the Holiday Season!

I have taken a few days to spend time with my family, slow down a little, and just soak everything in. And I have had an awesome time so far! I can’t wait to share some of the highlights with you.

So on that note, let’s start with this highlight. Imagine my surprise, and shriek of delight when I woke up this morning to a message from Nancy of Marcus Design telling me I was the lucky winner of her Christmas giveaway! Did I . . . → Read More: Lucky Winner I Am! ‘Postmodernity’ by Nancy Marcus

DIY Bulletin Board Makeover

By SZInteriors, on December 13th, 2011%

I know this DIY project is not a new idea, but I’ve been wanting to cover this bulletin board for a long time now.

It’s a basic cork board, and until this point the only upgrade was clear-coating the wooden frame. And that was done almost a year ago, but then we moved and the rest of the project fell by the wayside. In fact, I wasn’t even sure where, or if it would be hung up after we moved in.

But we have this spot right outside our office that is pretty bare.

I’ve contemplated different . . . → Read More: DIY Bulletin Board Makeover

Packaging Perfection!

By SZInteriors, on December 8th, 2011%

Not too long ago I entered a ‘giveaway‘ over at Row House Nest with Wooden Spoon Editions… and was the lucky winner of a fab sand dollar print.

Well, I just received it in the mail yesterday, and first let me just say that the print is as fab in person as it looks on line.

Wanna see?

Don’t mind my lighting – it’s showing a little too bright, but I bet you can look past that and see what I’m talking about, right? Oh, the print is just the white, not all the rocks!

I’m really looking forward to . . . → Read More: Packaging Perfection!
