DIY ~ Mismatched Chairs

Check out the ideabook by Brian Flynn on the Houzz - DIY Mismatched Chairs.

I have always wanted to give my dining room some of that "Wow" factor,

and this idea will do the trick... I love the red color of the dining chairs and where can we get that cute doggie?

Home Tour ~ Melinda and Lee Henry

I am so excited to invite you into the home of Lee & Melinda Henry. I have had the pleasure of getting to know Melinda, because she is one of my best supporters of my watercolor art, as you can see in these beautiful interiors.

My Caribbean Time print is on the left in this gorgeous sunroom. The cobalt blue and bright yellow color combination is one of my favorites!

Their daughter, Laurie, sent me these photos and had a little to say about her parents. "They love St. Lucia and we take a Caribbean cruise every year and add a little more to the collection. The shelf above your little painting has items from my travels in college that I've given them, mostly from Morocco, Italy and China. Everything seems to have a story in there. I love going home. They are pretty amazing people all around."

Lee owns a furniture store (hence the beautiful furniture!) and Melinda used to be a teacher for seventeen years and a gift shop owner/freelance interior designer (without a degree, she just has a knack for it). They live in small town Selmer, Tennessee which is about 90 miles east of Memphis. The landscape original watercolor in this photo was the first piece of art Melinda purchased from me, I believe. See how her stunning frame really shows off the painting? Framing your art can be just as important as the art itself. This beautiful nook looks like a design house on display!

I'm always a fan of the classic blue and white china seen throughout. Another one of my watercolor prints, Mystic River, is seen above this beautiful table display.

The last photos show their custom home painting that I painted for them for Christmas this year. You can see from these photos how to frame the paintings in a pleasing way that shows off the work. Perfection!

I am so grateful for wonderful clients such as Melinda, and thank you Laurie for sharing these stunning images of your parents bright bold and beautiful home.

How To : Get Ready for Summer with Ceiling Fans

We love our Hunter Fan and use it all the time. My Home Ideas has a great post

with tips to get your home ready for Summer.

When the warmer weather arrives (hopefully soon!) don’t discount the value of a ceiling fan. Set fan blades to revolve counterclockwise, which forces the hotter air near the ceiling to mix with the lower, cooler air, leveling out the room temperature.

I love this idea of the overhead structure. It provides some shade for those hot summer days without blocking the sky view.

Bright Ideas: Using Mirrors

There are many different ways to display mirrors. They don't always need to be hung on the wall. We have this large mirror in our bedroom on the floor. It provides another dimension to the corner of the room as well as

reflected light from the windows.

The butterfly pillow is made from my original watercolor painting.

Available upon request. Please e-mail me at laura.trevey@gmail.com

Bright Ideas: Create your own Style

I cannot say enough about this room. The unfinished shutters against the wall with the scissors in front create quite an artistic statement... Add some color with the rug and throw pillows and you have one exciting room.
