Shelter Project - sneak peek

I wanted to share a sneak peek of a kitchen revamp I am working on. So far I've had the floors white washed and a beautiful hexagon design painted. Color used for hex design: Clark+Kensington's: Garden Stone N-C10 . The painting was done by a good friend, artist and fellow design blogger Danika from Gorgeous Shiny Things. She did a fab job. Next up?? I am having the cabinets sprayed white, a built in bench made, new lighting and existing chairs sprayed in navy blue. I'll be sure to share the before (see below image for before) and after with you all!  Eventually my client would like to add a back splash and a new counter top. Shelter is also finishing off this long term client's family room design. these images don't include the finish coat over the top. I chose to use a satin finish. Here is the "before" floor. It was a dated, country look. And some more painted floor ideas I'm loving...... Kate Spade store

Cottage Love #16

My goal at Shelter (my blog) is to inspire and get my readers thinking! I aim to do this by sharing ideas for your home, life, and personal style. I'm always thrilled when I come across a home that appears to be accessible, hence today's post. Emily A. Clark is a blogger and mother of five. I'm sharing her adorable home. It is filled with ideas that you can easily accomplish on your own with a bit of imagination and elbow grease. Images via Emily's site and Style Me Pretty . Side note : My own home design is coming along.....I hope to get lots done this Fall and have it photographed for a reveal this winter! The last image is a peek of my fireplace. I applied one coat of primer to the bricks and plan to apply two coats of a warm white color this week. I can't believe how much the white paint has already brightened up the room! I think this little bathroom is my favorite aspect of her home. And a small peek at my mantel, I'm adding a piece of art above the mante...

Saturday musings...

Wow, busy week!! I'm here to touch base and say hello! I'll be back next week, promise. I wanted to share this creative way to devise a "color" field in your home. First, frame out a painted area of wall (in this case, it's the Tiffany blue). Second, define the area with either a frame or another paint color. (as pictured) Finally, use a neutral color everyplace else on the wall. This creative idea works well behind a bed or on a wall you'd like to feature. In this case Albert Hadley, did so in a foyer! Enjoy this gorgeous day! xx

Cottage Love #15 - Beach Chic!

I've long admired designer David Netto's aesthetic, with Fall in full swing I'm really turning my thoughts and time inward, both literally and figuratively. I'm focusing on my home and have a goal to finish the entire interior before Christmas!! Fingers crossed! This David Netto designed water front home is perfection! I love the use of wood and paint. Paint is a wonderful way to transform your home, even on a smaller budget. Here, David has done so masterfully with his color choices and strategies.  The painted floors, ceilings and interior of the bookshelves look divine. I also love the use of whitewashed/bleached flooring. I actually have a floor being re-done as we speak for a client right this week! We are having the floors sanded and white washed. I also have a decorative painter coming in to paint an octagonal pattern over an area! I'm so excited to see the outcome!! Eek! These blue floors are fabulous!!

Love the look

I'm back, I'm back! I was away last week with Ace Hardware at a trade show. It was a successful week but it was a busy one. I'm happy to be blogging again today!! I think Fall dressing is one of my favorites. The mix of warm and cool weather allows you to add and layer your array pieces. I came across the above photo last week when searching Pinterest while at the airport. I love the look of high + low, chic + casual. This is basically how I dress on a daily basis. (when I'm not wearing yoga pants).  Those Chanel Espadrille high tops are amazing but are now only available on ebay!! So I subbed them out for one of Fall's hottest trends - the converse high tops. (they have been all the rage in Europe for a couple of years now)  1 / 2 (the Dior knock-off) / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content.

Shelter Loves..

I thought I'd start off the week with some of my recent favorites!  It's starting to feel like Fall around here for sure!! 1. This ring is fit for a princess or queen ;). Order it here . 2.  I live in little booties from Fall-Spring. When I'm running around for work, a lower heel just makes more sense. I love wearing grey because I can mix it with virtually any color. - Joie Bootie here . 3. 'Tis the season of cozy sweaters , leather pants, and plaid! (which is very hot this fall btw!!) 4.  Amen 5. I'm loving the tortoise mirrors and these chairs! (via Domino ) Cheers to a happy, healthy week!!! Anything will be better than last week I think!!

Fly-Fishing in Russia

By Evan McGlinn The icy waters of a remote arctic river have become a Shangri-la for anglers in pursuit of Atlantic salmon—hard (and expensive) to get to but, oh, the fish! Russia's Ponoi River is not what most people would consider a typical fly-fishing destination. For starters, there are no long-established, luxurious lodges lining its bank like those found on other famous salmon rivers. It's located on the eastern edge of the Kola Peninsula—a 40,000-square-mile wilderness of tundra and low forest. The capital city of the province, Murmansk, is home to Russia's Atlantic nuclear submarine operations. In fact, until the early 1990s, it was virtually impossible to travel to this remote, lonely part of the world. Security was tight along the Finnish border where locals were required to report sightings of strangers to the authorities. In those days, the Kola was considered so strategically important that Russians living under the former Soviet regime were ...

What Supplies Do You Need to Fly Fish?

By Danette D Foltz    In order to catch that monstrous fish you need a rod and reel plus certain other supplies in your possession, namely different lines, various apparel, and various flies. To make your trip more enjoyable, and at the same time make it a great experience, you need a variety of supplies. So what kind of supplies do you need? To start you need a supply of different flies to attract the fish. When fly fishing you want to match the fly with the insects in the stream or water you are fishing. With a different arsenal of flies you are more likely to match your fly to the natural food source to the fish, and then you will catch more fish. This lets you adapt to the insects in the water to catch such fish. You also want a supply of different lines which in turn will allow you to fish in different weather conditions while you are on your fly fishing trip. Different lines also let you change the line for different color water when fishing...

KITCHEN TALK.....

I'm not going to lie. I'm so happy it is Thursday. This has been a challenging week on so many levels. I'm blaming the Harvest Moon and the kids back to school transitional time. (among a few other things). I'll share my love list tomorrow but as I was searching for product for a client today I came across this beautiful kitchen. via  ANOTHER COOL KITCHEN IDEA FOR THOSE OF YOU WITH SMALLER KITCHENS LIKE MINE!
