Brighten your day...

I love BEFORE and AFTER decorating photos... and finding photos... and then my after paintings...



This above photo I took from SFGIRLBYBAY ... the room is already serene and beautiful... but I always like to add a twist of drapery, colour, whimsy (note the name on the bottle) and come up with some like this...


Here are some quick fix decorating ideas for Under $1000 via Ballard Design ... Serene Surroundings

Urban Sophisticate

Coastal Retreat


Do you have a favorite? Do you have a room that could use a little colour?

Hey FiFi- I was wondering if you had any great paintings that you think would go good in a bathroom. The colors in the bathroom are white, light yellow, and pink. I was trying to find an inspiration picture so that I could paint it to hang in my bathroom, but I can't seem to come across anything. So then I remembered you and you do such a good job. So if it's alright I was wondering if you had anything in mind that might work. I was thinking something girly and chic. thanks Daisy~

I think I like the last one best. I love that bright green and orange. I just got my ballard designs catalog in the mail yesterday so I can't wait to look through it.

Oh fun - I love how much you can do with a white couch!

All my rooms could probably use a touch up. I love the way you brighten them up. You have such a flair!

OK, it's probably just my poor eyes suffering miserably from allergies, but I can't read the name on the bottle and now I'm so curious!

Another fabulous painting!

Thanks for the help Fifi. Click on it. Of course. I no longer blame my eyes. It's my brain that has turned into pollen. And I also neglected to say (in my fit of brain collapse) that I loved this post!

Thank you all!

Kwana... send me pictures... I'll get you fixed up with a few touch ups!

Pink Stiletto... I am working on brainstorming as I type... I will have some more ideas soon! You inspired me to do an online gallery showing for tomorrow's post... thanks... I love inspiration! I will show off a commission I just finished as well... stay tuned everybody... lots more coming your way!

Oh, this is fun to see all the different ways of treating the same room. I'm kind of partial to the last one in the post, but they're all full of great ideas! -Julia
