thinking large

ok lately i have been on the large side....not me myself {hopefully} but have been making lots and lots of large Frames. One i did for a vanity mirror in a white wash with wavy trim with gobs of chocolate glazing ,which i love....i really ages it and gives it a super vintage feel. i keep saying I'm going to do my vanity mirror and this really gets me motivated! 

UP next was a large cork board in the Nate c h e v r o n pattern! What a perfect way to showcase the kids art work when they are back in school this fall{which is quickly approaching}. This is a 19x25 inner opening but cork comes as wide as 24x36. Email me for more questions about the cork boards. I do install the cork and they come ready to hang! I have this one on etsy here.

Other exciting news is that i am most likely MOVING into my very own workshop!!!! i cant believe it and i cant believe there will actually be a space just for me and a place where you can come view my work. Other super secret things along with this news September 1st!! STAY TUNED and follow the blog for the latest. I would also like to welcome my NEW assistant Annie Billions!

multi opening frames

oh joy isn't summer just flying by? i cant believe how fast its going and how little i have been posting...sorry y'all! well here is a fun one. I did a couple 8x10 mulitple opening frames lately and they are just too Mod meets Shabby....  these are the 1st 8x10 openings i have ever done. The last pic is one made for 3, 6 and 9 month silhouette pictures of 3 kids so she did three of these in a row, neat idea huh? 

entry way frames

i have had a lot of entry way frames request these days and i i think these are great ways to spice up any entry way and add a little character to your space weather its small and narrower you need a little more oomph in a large areain the meantime i have been enjoying being part time this summer with my boys at home. i am gearing up for full time postings and order taking august 1st...ill keep you all posted!

C O L O R

wow...it has been a while since a blog post. i swear i have had so many fun groupings on the books and have been dying to share these two large wall galleries that are just full of fun and C O L O R. Two uber sweet customers to boot made these projects extra fun....more to come below....
also in other news my chevron frame finally aired on The Nate Berkus Show May the 9th. I don't think i was quite prepared for all the love and support from all my friends and family. thank you to everyone who watched it live and posted to keep me updated! it was the most exciting day in Delta Girl history and I hope there are more to come. I appreciate every "like", comment, post and view! If you didn't have a chance to see it, i have posted it on youtube here. I actually had to drive down to my sweet moms house in Grenada,MS to see it since it didn't air in Collierville. My great friend Kim made the drive with me ...{thanks kim!} Excuse my mom's proud scream and us "shushing" the kiddos ;)

On to the fun stuff....

{PROJECT #1}

Stairwell for Anna: this is was sweet girl that actually went to the same college as me so i consider a "delta girl". She has lots of oranges and blues and hints of green with white stairwell trims and dark floors. we wanted two use 4 colors and she didn't want any solids so we really explored all the pattern with mixes of a all colors. 

{PROJECT #2:}
A Hallway for Keisha: Keisha is a COLOR girl and I LOVE a color girl! I can not even tell you how fabulous her home is. She sent me pics of her home for inspiration and her taste is beyond exciting, so i knew this would be a once in a lifetime project. She is actually going to frame some black and white fabrics, metal and other eclectic objects and use some as photo boxes. She was kind enough to snap this iPhone pic after she received them. i swear i need to make a trip to Cali to see them in real life......i can expense that right????

hope you enjoyed these groupings and i hope they inspiration!cheers!

new neutrals..

another fun mud room project complete. Thanks Genevia...what a great grouping!These no fail neutrals can go anywhere in your home. We did a cotton beige, taupes and vintage cream with touches of grey. I really love the grey in there... it adds a touch of a modern feel to me. These are 8 frames in a variety of sizing and covers a space well. email for more info! I just listed them on etsy this morning. ciao!

fretwork

ok if you know Kelly Wearstler fabrics like me and you are completely obsessed with fretwork inspired ones as i am, finally i have the frame we have been longing for. I found the perfect wallpaper inspired pattern and wha-la! This pattern works simply on the 8" wood with an 8"x 8" opening with embossed trim. That brings me to the next new delta girl option...gold glazing. I have always used a dark glaze to really give trims and frames a vintage look but now on top of that i can do gold glazing. Metallics are everywhere right now and it really gives the frame that extra jazz...thoughts???? enjoy!
