GREAT THINGS KEEP HAPPENING IN THIS HOUSE....NEW SIDE TABLE ON ORDER FOR THE ROOM AND NEW BOOKCASE STYLING ON THE HORIZON....CAN'T WAIT FOR THE EVOLVING RESULTS!

BEFORE AND AFTER: BOLLING WINDOW TREATMENTS

NO DOUBT THAT WINDOW TREATMENTS ARE A FINISHING TOUCH......YOU MAY THINK YOUR ROOM IS FINISHED....BUT UNTIL YOU HAVE WINDOW TREATMENTS UP, IN MOST CASES, THE ROOM IS INCOMPLETE.

FARM TABLE FANTASTIC!!!...and more!!

WOW! 300 year old reclaimed wood???? THIS IS AWESOME!!
 i was so impressed today when i visited the workshop of one of my furniture craftsmen.  i've known this particular talent for about 15 years... his work sold in high end stores throughout the washington d.c, baltimore, and richmond areas +!!....and i know these stores sell his stuff for a pretty penny. Fortunetly,  my customers don't have to pay for any overhead so my mark up is a fraction of the retailers ;)
so if you want a well priced BEAUTIFUL custom farm table, round dining table, coffee table, hunt board, etc, LUCY WILLIAMS INTERIOR DESIGN is at your service!

pine or walnut-both BEAUTIFUL options!!!

furniture in the works.....

this is a small section of a huge chunk of wood taken out of an old school in the churchill neighborhood of richmond....roman numerals etched out of the side by the builders 100+ years ago... and the tree rings on the lumber indictated this tree was 200+ years old-LOVE this!

 double pedistal in the works-this guy is good!

MY NEW DESIGN ICON: THOMAS JEFFERSON!!

WOW. who knew thomas jefferson was such an amazing talent? apparently everyone but myself!
we visited his home "monticello" last sunday and the tour was BEYOND amazing. .....charlottesville is a beautiful place to visit anyway, but seeing jefferson's house, his masterpiece of a home......AMAZING!
not only did he design all the window treatments, but he shopped for all the fabrics in paris-LOVE YOU TOM!!
and his house is full of angles-i'm an angle girl so this was fun. octagons everywhere and skylights too. a self taught architect, jefferson's creations in charlottesville (which also include the university of virginia) are a treat to see!! what an impression this day has made on us!!

 

R is equally excited about the fantastic railings!

a bed built into the wall-SOOOOOO cool. what an innovative idea!

love this life size satue of thomas jefferson....he was 6"2"...a giant for back then!

it was a great day!

ONE STORY HOUSE

 for some reason i have always been drawn to one story houses.....saw this house on pinterest and it inspired me........LOVE this house!!!! wonder what the inside looks like? here's my version!

MY NEW GUEST ROOM...GETTING THERE...

SO LAST SUMMER I DECIDED TO SWAP MY OFFICE WITH THE GUEST ROOM...BEST MOVE I EVER MADE. NOW MY OFFICE IS A FANTASTIC WORK SPACE WHICH I RECENTLY BLOGGED ABOUT......
http://lucywilliamsinteriordesign.blogspot.com/2012/12/before-and-after-my-office.html

OKAY, SO THE NEW GUESTROOM?? STILL TWEAKING BUT ITS GETTING THERE!

 I RECOVERED THE HEADBOARD IN AN ANTIQUE LINEN VELVET AND REUSED MY OLD MASTER BEDROOM DRAPERY PANELS. WENT FOR A MORE NUETRAL PALETTE SO I COULD HAVE A PRETTY CONTRAST AGAINST THE DARKER WOOD FURNITURE.
AND THE PAINTING? DOESNT BELONG IN HERE...AND ITS A WORK IN PROGRESS THAT I JUST BORROWED FOR COLOR!

 THE DARK FURNITURE ARE PIECES WE INHERITED. THEY WORK PERFECTLY IN THE GUEST ROOM SINCE I WANTED A SOFT SOPHISTICATED LOOK.

 MY DRESSER FROM GROWING UP....

JUST CAME BACK FROM SOUTH BEACH AND GOT THESE SHELL FORMATIONS FROM WINGS! I LOVE CHEESY BEACH SOUVENIR SHOPS FOR THEIR BEAUTIFUL AND CHEAP ACCESSSORIES!!
