Tuesday Tip: Glitterati Style

Pickwick House DIY

Tuesday's tip from Sharon Taylor.

Sharon: Here's a great tip for adding a little bit o' hip to your frames.  Lately I'm LOOOVING campaign dressers for their uniquely styled hardware that is usually brass.

Here's an example of a campaign dresser which happen to also be in the same shade of red {via pinterest}.  Take note of those super cute, brassy, sassy edges.


I thought I'd make my own nod to that campaign effect by embellishing some of our large scale frames at the shop.  We'll be using for some upcoming {spirited} weddings, but I think they'd be fantastic used in interior spaces.  This wedding in particular has a lot of gold glitter going on, so I thought, why not bling up the edges of these guys?  I think they make a great, sassy & smart exclamation mark to an otherwise boring old frame.

So, I purchased two sheets of gold scrapbook paper for $1.99 each at Hobby Lobby.  Traced the shape onto the paper that I wanted, cut them and then hot glued the pieces on.  Super easy, super cheap, and super cute, I think!  I think they give a great sassy & smart exclamation mark to an otherwise boring old frame.  What do you think?

I will share you the finished product here in a few days.

Happy Tuesday!

{Press LOVE} Springfield, MO Weddings

Getting some nice press on "what I do"...

As a Springfield, MO girl...It's always nice to see my work gracing the pages of magazines and sites that I absolutely adore.  Thanks so much to the following:

The Knot Missouri/Kansas Weddings Magazine...where we made one of five on their "Hot Sheet List", highlighting our new studio , design work, and "unique, outside-of-the-box" ideas.

Also, over on Style Me Pretty yesterday, Abby featured a wedding that she said "will be a feeding frenzy for ideas".  Elsie and Jeremy's Beautiful Mess Wedding that Kendra Skinner and I collaborated on for reception site design.  It is one of my fav weddings ever.

We are also so grateful to be featured in the local Metropolitan Bride's beautiful summer issue!  It was a 7 & 1/2 full pages that touched on three different projects of ours:
Our new boutique design studio {Pickwick House}
My REAL SIMPLE weddings feature for 2011
And a summer tablescape I designed.
