wherein i pretend to give decorating advice.
December 18, 2009

Heh. Just the title of this post makes my inner voices giggle.

I don’t decorate. I’ve been living with bachelor pad furniture for the last 9 years. (Still am!)

But I got so many emails asking “HOW DID YOU DO IT?” in regards to the before and afters of my dining room that I’m now writing this. To prove that I am flying by these, the seat of my pants.

1. I got lucky with the referral of a darn good contractor. His company deals mostly with high end renovations so “crappy” to him was “fancy” for our budget. He was able to suggest things that I would have never thought of. If you’re renovating or remodeling in Indianapolis? Call Gene at Indiana Renovations. Guy is a miracle worker. And he won’t even judge you when you cry. Or call him at 9pm on a Saturday freaking out. (But still, you probably shouldn’t do that…)

2. I’ve always subscribed to Better Homes and Gardens. For the last five years or so I have ripped out all the pretty houses that I liked and filed them away folder named “someday.” There was a definite pattern to what I liked. Lots of delicious textures and colors that could be named with food, like “chocolate” or “carmel” or “brulee.”

Living Room Before

somersaults

(somersaulting preschooler optional)

3. I stick to one color scheme in everything I do. It is both safer and cheaper this way. For example. 90% of the time I wear warm browns and/or deep jewel tones. This does two things, A) everything goes with everything else and B) It keeps me from buying that hot pink sweater no matter how cute it is because it won’t go with anything. I did this with everything I picked for my house. Everything is a warm neutral so everything goes with everything else no matter what room it is in.

(I picked out the carpet, wood, paint, vanities, fixtures, lighting and the tile all separate from each other without a sample of any to refer to when picking out the other. Keeping it all “warm” and “in my vision” has caused it all to come together very nicely at the end.)

4. Steal from the rich and make it your own. Pottery Barn. Restoration Hardware. Williams-Sonoma Home. Crate and Barrel. Nothing like a $3,000 couch to get the renovation blood lust flowing. Dude, just take what you like and find it cheaper. Big deal. Buy me something pretty with what you have left over. You wonder why I was so bent on getting my curtains from JCPenney? It’s because they have these perfectly wonderful faux silk insulated drapes for $26 (on sale) when Pottery Barn wants to charge you $119 for the same thing (only real silk, and not insulated, whatever.)

Living Room After

-Stole the sheer in the back/drape in the front look from my friend Megan, who stole it from Pottery Barn. Double drape rod from PB? $200. IKEA? $16.99.

-LED candles in the fireplace? THANKS FOR THE IDEA RESTORATION HARDWARE! About $20 each at their store, Kohls? $4 each. The mirror on the mantle? Williams Sonoma Home $1,295. Overstock sale at University Loft? $15.

-Chandelier and Kitchen lighting? IKEA, less than $50 each. If you’ve ever priced lighting? Then you know what I’m talking about. Also? The chandelier I picked out was black steel. $4 can of spray paint and it’s now brushed nickel. Somewhere an interior designer just died.

dining room after

Is this all stuff people already know? Eh, if so, sorry. Maybe one person will find it handy. Because let me tell you, trying to pick out stuff you have to live with and someday maybe have to sell to other people? Kinda tricky. But whoo. Fun.

(Also? Our Christmas tree is upstairs. The last of the carpet downstairs was just laid today and we were too impatient to wait. Also? Did you notice that the first thing Cody moved into the living room was Monstro the TV? Yeah. Talk about bargaining. Also, let’s talk about what paint colors go well with a 60″ TV. Exactly none. So you just make do. Also? This is my last also.)

This is so lovely–I have been excited to see what you would do with the interior of this house–after getting over the shock of the previous existing colors! Bravo!

By OHmommy on 12.18.09 11:51 pm | Permalink

I decorate the same way. Steal from the rich. My chandeliers look JUST like PB ones only I got them on overstock dot com. Naturally, I blogged about it. Because DUH, it was like a 1/4 of the price. Same goes for my kitchen hardware. THE same style as Restoration, only I paid $300 less for the entire kitchen.

I do the same thing for clothing, yo.

@OHmommy, I can’t bring myself to do fake UGGS. Is that bad? I just thing the fake ones would smell, and there’s a reason people starting and still do buy them in the first place.

I had no idea that Ikea had light fixtures! I’m in desperate need of a few. Thanks for the tip!

Your HOME is looking more and more like your place, and I couldn’t be more excited for you. Love it! Congrats!

You low-cost alternatives are freakin’ AWESOME. The spray paint was inspired–I’m not sure that even *I* would have thought of doing that and I’m all about window shopping the fancy stores then buying at Target, IKEA or even the thrift store. Casey, you are my hero.

I am such an idiot. I live in Han**** County, and saw that the University Loft was having an open to the public sale, but decided I shouldn’t go. I had no idea they had all that cool stuff. So, just to recap: I’ve been driving over to Cincy to go to IKEA, but missed the best sale in my own backyard. Aaagghh! You’d better believe I’ll be front and center next time they decide to do that!

YOUR house is really looking great!

OMG> isnt renovating exhausting/so fun!? We renovated our kitchen, bathroom and changed a whole bunch of other stuff in our little 1950s house 2 winters ago. It was both satisfying and frustrating. I will not lie. It was tough. BUT. the choices I made all came out amazingly and we love living in something that suits us, and we can be proud of. I will strongly advise avoiding all home reno/fixture places for about 2 years after completion of a project. I literally stood in the lighting section of Home Depot 2 weeks ago and said *mother****er* out loud when i saw the NEW lighting they have that I could NEVER find when I was redoing our home. Thats the only kicker!
Your home looks fantastic! The flooring alone is fantastic. I too loved finding cheapy alternatives to the craziness. It became a bit of a hobby that is hard to lose!

ok, enough. I love the renos.

Your bamboo floors are beautiful, we have the lighter color bamboo in our home. But word of warning…the wood is very soft, anything that gets dropped on it will likely leave a small dent. We have a houseful of kids so you can imagine the things that get dropped around here. But I still love our bamboo floors, dents and all.

I have a secret love affair with spray paint. It has found its way on to sooooo many old and outdated items in my home. Much cheaper to paint it than replace it.

I can’t figure out the initials on your stockings either. I know about the A, but where is the C? Isn’t your name Casey??? Is it an inside joke or something? :)
