Our Beach House

  Here is a peak at what my parent's summer home looks like. I was lucky I had an opportunity to design it myself. I decided to go a little more tasteful than there tradional look they always tend to, since it is their sumer house. I am sure they are happy with the result. As you can see the color scheme I picked is red, black and white with hints of khaki. When I saw the red couches I knew I had to have them. To soften the bright red I accented it with black pillows. All the furniture has that distressed look to it. As if it once belonged to my greatgrandmother. A way to get the distressed look is quite easy. Grad a hammer and just bang away, or even a bag of pennies can do the trick.
I guess my mom did like it look at that smile.

When Country Meets Sophistication






   Today we got a special delivery from Fed Ex  I have been waiting months for this order to come in.  Quickly I opened the boxes.  I felt like I was 10 years old again opening presents on Christmas morning. For a great display  lighting is key to get the mood just right.  The lighting really makes a display come alive.  A great way to create different eye levels is by using simple objects like I did here; books, cake stands and old suitcases.  These supporters allow the eye to move smoothly at all the displayed products. I must say these birds look ready to take flight! Any ideas on how I can make this display look better?  Maybe a different color tablecloth? All these items will be for sale on our website www.classicsandcountry.com in a couple of days.
