Before I begin, have you tried Waterlogue? Our Spanish Colonial home via the Waterlogue App… As I mentioned in an earlier post our home is to be photographed this Spring/Summer for a national magazine. As I have also mentioned parts of our home are badly in need of updating. The wood floors have been refinished and two of the guest rooms have been repainted you can read about them here https://cindyhattersleydesign.com/2013/11/six-week-one-room-challenge-gues.html.

Great Regional Magazines…Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles, Peter Block and Joel Kelly
On the West Coast, we tend to be more focused on National Publications. In the wake of so many of the national shelter magazines disappearing I want to focus on some of the great regional publications. So many are going strong and delivering just as much punch if not more than their national counterparts. My first feature and one of my favorites is Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles. Whenever I receive the most recent issue in my box I am never disappointed. The latest issue features the architect ...
Guest Bedroom Update
As I have told you all many times before most of the rooms in our home are sadly in need of updating. You know the old saying the cobblers son goes without shoes….need I say more? All of our bedrooms are upstairs and the hardwood floors are in need of refinishing. When we decided to paint two of the guest bedrooms my husband decided to hand scrape the floors while the room was empty and stain and refinish them as well. One bedroom at a time to make it less painless! I did a post on Twin ...
Beth Webb Interiors…The Power of Black
There is no mystery. I am a huge Beth Webb fan. Beth often chooses texture over pattern and color when designing her interiors. Her spaces are defined by beautiful woods, antiques, and art. Beth appreciates the power of black and she knows how to use it effortlessly. “A Room should never be without something black”. Let's take a look at Beth Webb Interiors...the Power of Black. A favorite of mine Black Windows The Antique Black Cupboard adds a little black to this otherwise ...
Twins
Do you ever start a simple project like painting and have it morph into a major one? We decided to paint our guest room to give it a more fresh updated look (boy did it need it!!). Our hardwood floors upstairs need refinishing. My husband decided since our room was empty that he would hand scrape the floors and refinish them. Well, you know the rest of the story. A simple project turned into a major one. Let's take a look at Twins for some of my favorites. The gallery wall of ...
Lauren Liess Love
She is a mother of three, Interior Designer, blogger extraordinaire, and a textile designer. I am in constant awe of her talent….in particular this home she recently featured on her blog Purestyle Home here. Let's take a look at Lauren Liess Love. I think you will love her work. I am crazy about these chairs and their placement. Imagine upholstered chairs in their place…the room would seem so much less inviting! And…guess what… her client created the beautiful painting above the sofa on ...
New Project Kitchen Progress
Before I show you the “real” kitchen I want to show you some of my inspiration kitchens. Keep in mind we are flipping this house and we have a “tight” budget. These images are for inspiration only. We are working hard demoing the old. Let's take a look at New Project Kitchen Progress. Capela Pedragal via Chic Coastal Living via brooke gianetti Okay…now for a big dose of reality! Here is a shot of the kitchen before……I know it is a beauty…you are ...
Ethnic Chic… Cross Cultural Design
I live in a Spanish Colonial in great need of updating so I am really drawn to anything with an ethnic vibe of late. Cross-Cultural Design has a timeless textural feel that really appeals to me. My walls were all originally white and they have been glazed for the last 10+ years. I am thinking of going white again. What do you think? I like the look of what Megan Megas has done in her own home (via cote de texas) below. Rather than shout ethnic chic this space in Megan's home make a ...
