I was so excited when Stacy from <a href="http://www.notjustahousewife.net/2016/12/christmas-home-tour-2016.html">Not Just a Housewife</a> asked me to join her Christmas Home Tour this year! I haven't been blogging in the way that I used to. It's been about a year since my focus shifted to my family and to my interiors business. But keeping connected and also, loving blogging is still a passion of mine, and this was just the right time to jump back to share a fun Christmas Tour of my home. (I'm also super excited about 2017: linking up my blog with my design business, to share more of my client renovations/builds and for a partnership between the blog, tv spots and business). </div>

For today's Home Tour, there are several bloggers participating, so be sure to see them all! The next blogger on the tour stop is linked up at the bottom of this post. They are all so creative!!!</div>

My tour starts with a <i><b>Christmas Wreath Making Party</b></i> that I hosted last week. It was a Clients & Friends Open House, a fun little morning, making Christmas Wreaths with florist<a href="https://www.instagram.com/lizybowden/?hl=en"> Lizy Bowden</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each year I always add fresh greens, pine cones and other natural elements to my decorating. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Somehow, it makes my home come alive for the holidays. The scent, the texture...it makes my other Christmas decor seem less stiff, less just like stuff, less artificial actually. So, throughout these photos you'll see the use of Cedar, Bay and Pine. </div>

For a year I've been working with a lovely family. They purchased their dream home...but it wasn't quite dreamy yet. They wanted to take the dark and dated interior and update it with a Transitional fresh, clean and white atmosphere. Everything that my clients gravitated towards was white and pale gray. So...we made it white and pale gray! We were smart about what was existing that we could adapt and modify and what was better to scrap and start from scratch. Overall, there wasn't an inch of this 10,000 square foot home that we didn't touch.<br />
<br />
Let's start the View Cove home tour week off with their exterior!<br />

<i> I'd like to thank my clients for allowing my photographer <a href="http://kelliraemarquez.blogspot.com/">Kelli Marquez</a> to be able to take some detailed photos of our renovations!! </i><br />
<br />
To keep the exterior fresh and in keeping with the interior changes we had planned, we updated the heavy brick exterior a bit with Hardie Board. We used Board and Batten, as well as Shingles strategically. For budget and environmental considerations (why waste something that is still functional) we kept the roof, trim, brick and guttering original to the house and unchanged. We added the Hardie Board, changed a few windows to an updated, cleaner look, changed the balcony details and the front entry way (including removing the timber frame detail that never really worked with the house as a whole). We also had the father of the home owner retro-fit the existing front door to my specifications. This DIY saved a sizable amount of the budget and again, upcycled an existing, functional door, to just look more in keeping with the new fresh look of the home. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was little, we'd drive from our town in CT over to RI quite a bit. At least once every summer, we'd go to Newport. There are too many treasures in Newport to mention...from the Historic <a href="http://www.newportmansions.org/">Mansions</a> along the cliff (think <a href="http://www.newportmansions.org/explore/the-breakers">Vanderbilt Family Summer Mansion</a>) to the America's Cup Yacht Club, Fort Adams, <a href="http://www.cliffsideinn.com/">The Cliffside Inn</a> and <a href="http://www.salve.edu/">Salve Regina University</a>, Swim Clubs, <a href="http://dels.com/">Dels Lemonade</a>, the incredible building at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Tennis_Hall_of_Fame">Tennis Hall of fame</a>, and my favorite dockside restaurant <a href="https://www.blackpearlnewport.com/">The Black Pearl</a> (order the chowder)...there isn't a shortage of things to do around town. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">But my absolute favorite thing to do was to drive around Newport's "10 Mile Drive", basically driving all around the Newport Peninsula, taking in the breathtaking views and exquisite architecture. It's the Gilded Age shoreline of posh life for these folks who live on <span style="background-color: white;">Brenton Cove Shore, East Passage of Narragansett Bay, Ocean Drive, and Bellevue Ave. Hammersmith Farm, the childhood home of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was always one that my mom pointed out to her car full of kids. </span></span></div>

All the Shingle Ladies, Vol. 2 is a little exterior tour of the quintessential Coastal North East Shingle Style. Surrounded by walls of Hydrangeas, this home with it's weathered cedar shake shingles, crisp white trim and oodles of charm makes you think you can even smell and see the ocean breeze, right?</div>

Richard Gere is selling his Long Island Mansion "Strongheart". </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't even bother to look at the asking price. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seriously. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But if I had a house that was "me", a house that was my </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We're gearing up for our Summer trip home to visit my family in CT! The kids are looking forward to spending a few weeks along the CT Shoreline and being at the BEACH! My New England roots run deep...and that means that I get all giddy about long sunny days, evening walks down Main Street with ice cream cones, Long Island Sound breezes, blue hydrangea and SHINGLE STYLE HOUSES.<br />
All Summer long, I'll be sharing posts about Shingle Style Architecture and Design, and the way to achieve this look even if you can't go through an exterior renovation.<br />
AND I'll be sharing Posts, Tours and Videos of CT Shingle Style Homes<br />
during our time in CT in July.<br />

Joanna Gaines is just about everywhere these days, and it's well deserved in my opinion. She is launching her own <a href="https://magnoliamarket.com/">Magnolia Home</a> line of Paint and I'm ECSTATIC!!!

SPLURGE</h3>
This iconic Serena & Lily French bamboo and weatherproof plastic basket weave seating is at the height of kitchen and eating nook design these days. Pricey yet durable, Serena & Lily sells one chair for $225. This knocks it out of the park for French Bistro Style seating.<br />

STEAL</h3>
World Market, never one to miss out on jumping on the bandwagon with hot trends, has come up with an Outdoor version (the original inspiration is the legit outdoor <a href="http://www.maison-gatti.fr/collections/">French Bistro Chair</a>). These comfortable copy-cats are basically 2 for the price of one Serena & Lily chair. If you don't mind the not quite as nice styling, wider profile and the more prominent color weaving, then this is an excellent bargain. If you want the look of the Riviera without the hefty price tag for say, 8 chairs...The World Market version is pretty great quality for the price.<br />

While I have found several other copy-cats on sites like Overstock and Amazon, I won't recommend them due to poor reviews.<br />
So, SPLURGE OR STEAL?<br />

This week I've been sourcing a TON of BLUE objects/furnishings/decor for several clients and several projects. I'm talking all styles, all prices....very different rooms and projects...but BLUE is at the top of everyone's list. I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorites in case you want to buy your own Mother's Day gift this year!<br />

Wow. Overall, I loved what Kate and her stylists chose for her India tour. I think she was trying to honor the Indian aesthetic while walking the fine line of Royal expectations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've taken a few of her inspiring looks from the Cambridge's tour and found some <b>toned down alternatives</b> for you and me, that still capture the exotic feel that she was going for with her wardrobe on this trip! (Because, you don't HAVE to be a Princess or be headed to India to jump on this style bandwagon)!</div>

Ok, overall I loved her spin on more ethnic patterns and wearing LOTS of color.HOWEVER, if I was her stylist I wouldn't have been so THEMEY, and would have suggested a few of these more classic, more polished and sophisticated options instead of some of the other wardrobe choices they made. </span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">

(Or if I was a stylist, this is what I would have worn if I was along on this trip!)</span></h3>

I would have had her wear knock out amethyst and diamond earrings and bracelets, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and told the stylist to make a wrap/shawl made from this fabric or the skirt of this dress:</div>

Yes, those are lavender Rhinos on this dress. (Rhino and Elephant Conservation were key elements of the purpose of this Royal tour). I'd have done it. Why not? A shawl made from this fabric would have been an incredible touch, worn with the black and white drop dead gorgous dress above. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">Yes, I said </span><b style="text-align: center;">"CHOCOLATE CARROT CAKE".</b><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Why would someone make Chocolate Carrot Cake? Because it is incredible.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A match like a PB&J sandwich!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Or a perfect combo like Cherry Coke! Who knew?!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I like Carrot Cake. And I like Chocolate Cake...but Chocolate Carrot Cake had never entered my brain until two years ago, when I was out at one of my favorite Tulsa Restaurants, <a href="http://www.wildfork.com/" target="_blank">THE WILD FORK</a> and had to try their Chocolate Carrot Cake..yes, the first I had heard of such a combination. It was divine. The next time I went back (about two months later) they didn't offer it as an option. I decided then and there that I would try to recreate this amazing cake.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You might think, what on earth does this taste like? Well, it is not so far off of <a href="http://www.joyofbaking.com/breakfast/ChocolateZucchiniBread.html" target="_blank">Chocolate Zucchini Bread</a>, as a matter of fact. I have tried several Chocolate Carrot Cake recipes that I've found on-line (don't ever try the apple sauce version that is out there in the blogosphere...it was horrible) and on my 5th attempt and tweaking, I knew I almost had it. So, this time, the 6th time, I had everything right...and I added a little secret ingredient: Cinnamon. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can make it with plain Cream Cheese Frosting....but let's just say, I don't do anything plain.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, my cake has a <b>Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is a full, dense cake and you <b>need </b>a cold glass of milk to go with it.</div>

In a large bowl, beat the carrots, sugar, oil and eggs until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into carrot mixture until blended.</span></span></li>

Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. The cake will start to have bubbles (well, more like little craters) around the edges and/or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. I suggest leaving the waxed paper on the cake and wrapping with seran wrap and freezing the cakes. It makes frosting the cake layers much easier.</span></span></li>

Beat in the confectioners' sugar, cocoa and vanilla until smooth. Make sure frosting is at room temp when frosting the cake. (This frosting is quite thick...if you refrigerate and then try to frost the cake with cold frosting it will be too stiff to spread for ultimate coverage).</span></span></li>

After realizing that it was more isolated than it appeared, we opted for an area that still was only a few moments away from canyons, skiing and trails, but we needed to be closer to schools, grocery stores and civilization.<br />
<br />
HOWEVER, I've never been able to shake my first love...Emigration Canyon. If we could do it all over again, I may have considered home schooling or just sucked it up and been ok with being buried up in the canyon when the 90" snow base rolls in each Winter. And I would have bought the snow mobile and told the kids to forget about extracuricular activites, because this and the hills around it would have been all of the activity they'd need. If I was looking for a home with tons of privacy, a "Rocky Mountain High" feel, with unique yet down to Earth architecture and being off the grid was a plus...this house would be everything.<br />
<br />
I got to drive up to this house last week and I'd love to share this Modern Mountain Swiss Family Robinson home with you. According to the listing agent, "<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times"; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">It’s part contemporary cabin, part mountain-infused modern, and </span><em style="background: rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; font-family: Georgia, times; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">all </em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times"; font-size: 12px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">that and a bag of trail mix". </span><br />
<br />
BOY, what I could do to this house.<br />
Here is PINECREST.<br />

I love good design. You can have good design no matter the size of your budget. You just have to be more creative, and sometimes being scrappy and ingenuitive can generate even better results than taking the costly, "easy" way out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, sometimes DIYs come off too much like a DIY and it is better to wait for the real thing. That may be the case in this instance, but when you're talking about a $500+ difference for a piece of art that you can come close to replicating...well, it's worth the shot, in my book, if it means having it or not having it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But when the real deal isn't a perfect fit...well, enter the scrappy and ingenuis DIY.<br />
A client of mine has wanted this Velveteen Rabbit Art for several months. The quote and book page idea is perfect for her hallway, however, the rustic frame is all wrong. She has no problem with the price point, but there is no way of ordering the print and not the frame. SugarBoo, the manufacturer, says that it is printed on a wood board, so there is no way of ordering it without the rustic frame.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, after a bit of research, we're off to try to DIY a paper print of the Velveteen Rabbit quote that can be framed in a silver or brass frame that works with the rest of the upscale vibe. It will be down the hall from a <a href="http://www.bensoncobb.com/">Benson-Cobb</a>, so the rustic frame just wasn't the way to go.The other brilliant thing about this DIY is that you can obviously, select any quote that you'd like to have. I'll be following this tutorial from <a href="http://whimsygirldesign.blogspot.com/2014/11/tutorial-diy-oversized-bookpage-art.html">Whimsy Girl Design</a> and let you know how it turns out! I'm thinking of doing 3 for my own hallway in a massive architect's size of 36x48. Hooray for <a href="http://whimsygirldesign.blogspot.com/2014/11/tutorial-diy-oversized-bookpage-art.html">Lindsay of Whimsy Girl</a> for working all of these details out and sharing them!</div>

Throwback Thursday today calls for my most popular and most pinned Design 101 Post.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
From June 2013, here is my Design Terms Pronunciation Guide. Its a little basic in visuals and content, but run through these terms to see if you've been pronouncing them with correctness and ease...if not, you're welcome!</div>

There are some design terms that I've heard since I was a little girl...{I grew up with an Antiques Auctioneer as a father and "Chinoisserie" and "Trompe l'ouile" were things that were regular vocabulary words around our house). But every now and then a design term comes up that throws me for a loop and sometimes as I'm saying the name of something, I wonder if I'm pronouncing it correctly. So I've reviewed and rounded up a few for us all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever wondered if you're pronouncing "Matalesse" correctly?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have you murdered "Ikat"?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
NOW YOU'LL KNOW!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>E-Design Boards.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>What are they?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Graphic visuals that you can create to plan out your room decor and design elements. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>How are they different from Mood Boards and Inspiration Boards?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mood Boards and Inspiration Boards are great for trying to capture the ideas or "look" and "feel" that you want your space to have. An E-Design Board is an actual Blue Print for specific products, paint colors, elements that will be in your finished design/space. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>What are some examples of good E-design Boards?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Professional E-Design Boards are that Blue Print for a client to follow and implement into their space. Designers select furnishings and decor to create a room design. It's like a visual check list on how to achieve a finished room. </div>

<b>If I can't hire a designer, how can I make a simple board myself without investing too much time or money?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Designers use Photoshop and <a href="http://cad.arcad.de/products_architecture.php">Arcad</a> and a new monthly subscription program called <a href="http://www.sampleboard.com/">Sample Board</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start with Pinterest and Houzz. Find Mood and Inspiration Pictures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When gathering furnishings and room decor, Pin them to your specific Board to keep track of the source and product dimensions, specifics, etc. As you start to hone in on your design direction, you can save the pictures and begin to create a board, moving the pictures in and out. Try combinations together and see what you like! </div>

And when I brought in this more traditional crystal chandelier, I realized that the dressers that will be used as side tables, needed to be a tad more in keeping with the light fixture, so I swapped the dresser out to test another. </div>

<b>Olio Board</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Olio Board will give you the 2D and 3D design tool that can help to really get a good placement and scale going in your design. Olio Board is more time consuming, and a a more contrived look in my opinion, but if you really want to create a detailed room, this is a fantastic way to achieve that. And remember, it is typically more time consuming to return items, or try to make a bad decision work, than putting the time in upfront with your planning. <i>I say that lovingly and from personal experience!</i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is an App that you can download to your phone. I love it because you can upload any picture that you have in your phone. Anything from Pinterest, Houzz, something that you like at HomeGoods....anything can instantly be uploaded into your board so that you can quickly move things in and out to see what works....on your phone....on the spot. They also have a collection of items to sift through if you are looking for design inspiration. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b>
<b>When your board is done, take a step back and think about these 4 Design Tips:</b><br />
1.Repeat colors at least 3 times.<br />
<br />
2. Think about Texture. You are living in these rooms. What does it feel like? What textures do you have that are creating depth and layers in your room so that it doesn't feel sterile and flat?<br />
<br />
3. Make sure you've reviewed size, scale, dimensions before you buy anything. For example, know how high the bed will be before you order the bedside tables from Joss and Main.<br />
<br />
4. A day later, look at your board. Does it feel like you? Does it feel like what you wanted your room to be? Sometimes we can get so caught up in finding "a teal pillow" that when we find a teal pillow we shove it in the design just because we feel like it works. But is it you? I'd rather have a design that is less "matchy matchy" and feels more like my STYLE. </div>
