A New Master Bath

Our latest project involves transforming an early 90's master bath, complete with Hollywood vanity lighting and Huge plate glass mirrors, lite oak cabinets in a totally unusable L corner configuration. A cultured marble shower and sunken jetted tub completed the very poorly planned master bath.  With the help of a great contractor, the tub and marble shower was carried out in pieces.  A new shower stall was built, and the giant hole in the floor from the tub has been filled in with concrete. New Travertine natural stone and metal and travertine accents were selected today.  New lighting from Broadway Showroom was selected, a beautiful wrought iron design will be a great complement to this homeowner's love of iron,  a slight Western flair but totally timeless.

Oil rubbed bronze fixtures from Delta, with a very cool 2 piece shower head, will complete this newly functional shower.  A bench and shampoo niche, plus a frameless glass shower door, will make this getaway the favorite place in the home.

More to come.....

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas like I did. My Art in Thread made fantastic Christmas gifts. Can't wait to get started making more to replenish my stock for 2012!!!

Going to Cypress to pickup Shutters

We will do some shopping for my Art in Thread project while there and of course see the grandchildren.  We hope to catch a live Nativity Scene if the weather permits.

Designer Roller Shades with Arch Top Shutter These shades preserve the view while providing filtered light About Me Teresa Carosella Burnet - Marble Falls, Texas I have been helping homeowners make their homes beautiful since 1996, officially. But, sewing since junior high (too many years ago to reveal!), I finally found a way to use my love of sewing, and color, and home decorating, to help others. When I ran out of windows in my own home to decorate, I started doing it for friends and family. The rest is history. We moved the business to Burnet Texas in 2001 from Arkansas, and now enjoy living and working in the lovely Texas Hill Country. Our newly expanded location on Main Street in Marble Falls is the perfect central location to serve all our friends and clients in the Highland Lakes area. What a life!
