Weekend Wrap Up!

Hey Notebook Readers! Hope everyone is doing well! I have started off this Monday at a client's house...now I'm off to the studio to get creative crafting! More to come there...As for this weekend...it flew by right? Now a full week of work! We can do it! 

This weekend was fun adding accessories and a new table to the studio retail space! Love this rattan dining room table that I painted navy...the piece of glass on top weighs about 150lbs. It took Boy and I some heavy duty lifting to get it on the base. 

loving the new retail items too! Silver, glass and brass oh my!

Next I painted this sign for a client who's daughter just bought the most amazing house in MA. I was happy to help her design the sign! Loved doing the Irish infinity sign! Need one of these for the house that Boy and I haven't bought yet...ahhh can't wait for that day! 

Off to Craigslist...I posted a ton of old furniture on Craigslist to have a New Years cleanse. This piece I found on craiglists and just cant get rid of it! Can't wait to paint it a high gloss white this week and find a spot for it in the studio! Or maybe it can come home with Boy and I...

HAPPY MONDAY PEOPLE! Wishing everyone a very happy first full week in 2014! Big year for McNamara Design and Boy and I!!!

Friday Finds...My Notting Hill!!!

I'm SO excited to share another local blogger from DC...My Notting Hill! She shares her adventures in DIYing and love for interior design! 

It is a must see! And I'm so excited that today our studio will be featured on her blog!

HAPPY FRIDAY PEOPLE! 

Love this after!

Hey hey and happy Thursday! I am excited to start the new year off with a fun project in the studio! I found this stool at an estate sale and loved the bones of it! I painted it white and added this fun fabric to make it pop in the studio...

I just used my trusty staple gun to warp the new fabric around the old!

check out how hideous the stool fabric was before...had to make a change...oh and tip this fabric I'm using to recover is a pillow case I found and loved! Great way to save on fabric costs and get a bang for your buck!  

Just love it! If you are local and want to buy it...its for sale in the studio! Come by and check it out!

Keeping it Classic!

One of my girlfriends is expecting very soon and she asked me to help her paint this changing table a crisp clean white...classic so she can use it for the next baby!

Check it out...
