Fall Wreath Makeover

Here is a picture of my "fall wreath" which I have been using for many years now.

It is starting to get REALLY BORING and I wanted a new one.  

Howver the ones I liked did not fit our missionary budget... 

So, I went to HL and picked up this great sign that reads, "With Grace Surround Us," and a gorgeous green acorn ornament and wired them to the wreath.  I used some double-face satin ribbon I already had and it freshened it up beautifully!   

and here is my sweet girl who wanted in on the camera time!

The Kahleys guest room

This bedroom had just been transitioned from a nursery and the guest bed and bedding were stuck in there awaiting a re-do.  Here I come!

and after...

I wanted to do an eclectic mix of things.  Old and new, a little modern and a little traditional.  I found this beautiful rich brown floral duvet with a burlap trim and a reddish spice satiny quilt to dress the bed with.  I added a pillow made out of paper, which is really cool.  Burlap like panels dress the window.  Antique prints advertising sewing patterns for beautiful women's dresses are framed above the bed and a great hutch that will eventually house the flat screen hangs on the opposite wall.  On the bed-side tables are sitting the two most GORGEOUS tortoise glass lamps with the great black shades on them.

 a beautiful blue capiz bowl hangs above the towel bar.

This Doctor took over this practice from a doctor that was retiring.  They needed some major updating!!  We took out the window and closed in the wall and also the ledge above the doorway.  Everything actually looks so much warmer in person,  truly, it does!  I thought the walls needed some texture to them so we chose a very beautiful textured paper with beautiful bamboo leaves in warm brown tones.  We added some comfy furniture and great lamps.  The hallway has a water fountain that hangs on the wall.  The office incorporated colors and elements inspired by nature.

I commissioned a painting of birds that references Luke 14.  I love how it turned out.  The artist did a great job and is a pastor at our church.  He is awesome!

Conference Room BEFORE

The conference room had THE MOST AWFUL FURNITURE in it!!  and truly that is being nice :o)  I found a great table and six beautiful parsons chairs on casters and slip-covered in them a great espresso brown.

The Engelsons Redecorating

This is Clay's sister's apartment in NYC.  It is such a cute home!  It is getting a little crowded with baby j in the "nursery nook" (which once was home to the kitchen table!)  So fun!  I am ready Dave's friend!  You too can have this adorable and welcoming home!
