Welcome Home for the Holidays....

The first thing I like to do when preparing for the holidays is start with the front entrance.  I believe in great first impressions,  so for me it starts at the front door!

Every year I take pride in making my urns look unique and different.  This year, I started off with a pre-made simple pot and then I layered in different greenery and accessories to make my custom pots unique.

Although it is time consuming, it is much more cost effective for what your getting!  Hope your inspired to create your own masterpiece!

Selecting the Perfect Colour Pallet

Selecting the Perfect pallet is often a daunting task for many of my clients.   I ask my clients to take my pallet boards and live with them for a week, and then report back to me with which one they love and want to move forward with. 

Here are some samples of Colour & Fabric Pallet boards I have recently worked on....
