New project in Lometa

We hope to be starting soon on another "facelift" project for a bathroom in a 1940's bathroom that was last redecorated in the early eighties. I remember that era well . Jewel tones, bright brass ,Hollywood vanity light bar .  I met with the contractor today, hope to have a quote for the client by the weekend.  Getting rid of the jewel tone stripe wallpaper and texture and paint the walls, new light fixture, cabinet hardware,  photos to follow in album titled. House on Esteresa!

Hope all had a very Happy Halloween. Ours was quiet, I was at the office meeting with the contractor.  More to come......

1890s restored B&B

Yesterday we installed beautiful suede cornices and drapery in a 1940 home in Lometa Texas.  Texas style . Nailhead trim and contrasting suede trim as well as denim trim on navy suede accentuate the beautiful quilts in the bedrooms .

Our Hll Country tour continued today when we visited an 1890s beautifully restored two story home turned B&B in Llano.  Our friend John Hallowell ! A well known newspaper and magazine editor was there writing a story on the home for the ribbon cutting next week,  stay tuned .. Highland Lakes Is the newest publication of  John's, check it out.  Traditional gathered drapery puddle on the beautiful original wood floors and gathered panels afford privacy in the transoms over the bedroom doors.  The history of transoms were operational windows above the doors before the days of air conditioning so that doors to bedrooms could be closed and transom windows opened  for air circulation. Gathered panels with rods at top and bottom on the lovely French doors are the perfect complement to the bedrooms while providing privacy for guests.
