Upholstery in Tennessee

We have been really busy around here redoing furniture of all types custom painting and upholstery With all the beautiful fabrics available today, my clients have been able to really find some beauties. 

Dreamingincolor is a full service home store when it comes to design. I like to have people that I can tap into for various projects when I design. When a client need upholstery they send me a picture and I tell them how much fabric to purchase and how much to upholster it. We do everything for the home. Cushions and pillows, Wingbacks and dining chairs, Sofas and Settees just to name a few.

Some of our upholstery have been done with velvets, leather, muslin, upholstery fabrics. Tufting, tucks, and channel backs. Below are some for you to look at. Looking for a quote on a piece that you have? Send me a picture through our facebook. http://www.facebook.com/blogdreaming or through our email.

Everyone chooses their own fabric so you can get exactly what you like!

HGTV Urban Oasis

What a great experience to be part of the amazing group of people. Bloggers, designers, stylists, architects and media all gathered for the reveal. I had the pleasure in touring this urban gem a few months ago. This was a really fun HGTV Urban Oasis excursion. I wish I had the time to write about this right away but the holidays were here quicker than I anticipated.

My favorite part was meeting Designer Brian Patrick Flynn. He has a great eye. Loved how he incorporated artsy design elements and of course color. I have been in so many other design homes that are blah. No color, very monochromatic and it just bores me. I am not saying there isn't a place for it but I do enjoy color more. Speaking of color PINK doors!! and it works so well.

Back to Brian! He has a great personality and I think I have a designer crush on him. I stalk follow him on social media and can't wait to see what he does next.

The house was not huge, which I liked, but the layout was perfect and flowed great.

Brian uses a lot of local art and artist in the spaces he creates. The colors he used were the colors I used in my design space here. Maybe that is why we clicked. Ha!

There were so many great elements to this house and I took tons of pictures. I don't want to flood this post with too many but I do have a few more.

Loved this bedroom. Full of color and charm. This floor was amazing too. Notice the black trim. In no way does this room look dark and dreary either.

No space was left undone. The yellow and blue on this patio is so refreshing. I love the combo.

Off to the side was a little room. Brian decided to have fun with it and created an artist work space.

Thanks again Brian for the HGTV Urban Oasis Dream. Wish I could have won this. It is not too far from home in Knoxville Tennessee! 

Have you seen the 2018 HGTV Dream Home? Gig Harbor! It may have some Millennial Pink in there some where. Brian did another amazing job!  I have my sweepstakes entry in. The view is breathtaking.

Thanks for keeping me inspired to be a better stylist.

Country Chic Paint in Tennessee

When I opened my store over a year ago, I knew I wanted to carry paint in my store. After all, that's what I do, paint. I have tried several brands and really liked Country Chic Paints for durability and color. It is a chalk based paint so it is easy to work with. One of the most important things they offered was NO VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds, In easy terms the smelly harmful vapor)

So now, after a year of carrying Country Chic Paint in Tennessee, what do I think?

I think when people use this product they are pleasantly surprised with how smooth and beautiful this finish is. The classes we offer teach application and techniques of the various products available in this line of paint. Our class schedule is posted under classes in our header.

We have our signature colors like Dreamingincolor (turquoise)

Dreamingincolor Dudley's Bandana (red) and Dreamingincolor Misha (Blue) to name a few

Seeing is believing.

The befores and afters of all the painted furniture that has sold over time says it all.

Two tones and layers of paint with dry brushing and light and dark waxes

One of my favorite colors is Elegance. It is a pretty grey blue.

Time and time again the custom pieces I paint has the customer coming back for more. They get inspired by color. Those afraid of using color begin to see how it can transform those pieces stuck in a back bedroom or in storage. After they are renewed with paint, they become the pieces that are treasured again.

With all the chalky paint on the market I take that as a compliment!

I have found that most paints, when compared apples to apples, take several coats for coverage, are too thick or too thin and have little desired colors available. They are usually harmful to the environment and to your health. When people think they are getting a deal,(cheaper price) they usually are using more of the other paints for coverage in the long run, thus spending much more.

This is my opinion.

Would love for you to try it!

Call 615-907-0091 to order some today!

Will ship to you too! (usa)

East Ivy Mansion

In the 1800's East Ivy Mansion was built in historic Edgefield  located in Nashville, TN. Home to names like Senator Cooper and Bob Dylan. 

It is of an Italian Renaissance architecture with a lot of original features and exquisite furnishings which I will share below.

In 2014 I finally discovered it! Well that is because Ed Clay, owner, was kind enough to open it for a wonderful get together and tour.

 Karla from Fresh Collaborations and Dan from Blogging Concentrated sponsored the event. They are part of the Nashville Influencer's group I belong to. They shared some Facebook tips and Ed led us on a tour of this beautiful event venue.

I have I thing for doors and this place did not disappoint. These two were my favorite on the property.

East Ivy Mansion holds weddings, corporate events and even some red carpet events. 

Can you imagine have a wedding here?

44,000 square feet of beauty....

There were elegant light fixtures inside and out on the property. These were some outdoor chandeliers.

This is the covered are near the pool that I showed in the first picture.

There are gardens filled with ponds and greenery.

Loved this slate roof

Heading to the house, I took another picture in the courtyard of the ironwork on the balcony from below. 

This is the view looking out from above. It is connected to one of the bedrooms. If you book an event here on a Saturday, you can have up to sixteen guests spend the night in the mansion.

 How awesome is that?

The furniture and details of the home where stunning. Here are a few rooms to enjoy. Lots of Pics!

warning:phone pictures

Ed let us see a secret room on the top floor of the mansion. It is usually closed off. We went up very steep steps to the top. It was a small room with an awesome view of the city. He has plans to do something special with it.

I can only imagine how beautiful this could be.

I forgot where I was when I entered the gates of the mansion I have already told my daughter to remember this place when she decides to get married!

Hope I don't have to wait that long to go back and enjoy it.

Thanks Ed for opening up your elegant place.

Much success to you!
