Trading Spaces: Klare's room….the pictures…..

So, I’m kind of waiting to hear if Trading Spaces will let me dish the “behind the scenes story” and all the really cool dirt about what went on! Summary…the girls, had a blast, said they’d do it again and were very very tired. There were a couple of fights and a couple of “staging” dramas….but you’ll have to check back to see if I’m allowed to talk about any of that! 🙂

So, here’s Klare’s house finito! She had a new VERY young designer (24) and apparently was a bit of a control freak, but she’s delighted with the results!:

The wall behind the sheer drapes is all fabric and looks pretty cool! The recovered the chair too.
The shelves are fantastic! However, most of the drama was about this piece. The piece on the top used to be on the floor, but with a toddler, he was already starting to tear it apart (thus the relocation to the top of the shelves).
I think that it looks pretty cool. This obviously isn’t the “staged” finish – she’s been living in it for a week, but it sounds like it was a pretty exciting experience.

And I had always wondered what the house looked like after….apparently it was TRASHED! However, they give them money for a cleaning budget, so that’s good, eh?

We’re having a premier party in October…one of the local restaurants was so excited to have the crew that they offered to host it! So, look for that.

I’ll try to get pictures of the other room today! What do you all think? (be sure to refer to previous post for “before”)

Denver Mid Century home buyers – or just come drool

This house is for sale in Denver, the Realtor is a friend and oddly (which I found out afterward) so is the homeowner that’s selling the house. Well, I guess that’s not a huge stretch considering my areas of interest, but still. So, here’s some eye candy and a fabulous opportunity if you are in the market for a mid-century home in the Denver area. I think I’d buy the house for the bar alone:

Surprise! Announcing the Mid Century Style Ning Group!

Ok, this is the “Mid Century Style” surprise! Along with the fact that we are in redecorating/landscaping chaos this weekend, I’m going to launch the Mid Century Style Ning group! I suspect this will eventually be instead of the webring, but we’ll see! I’m hoping Pam will hop on there and start a steel cabinet group and I would love people to start little subgroups for states (I’ll kick it off with Colorado). Other than
