Karen Designs THIS AND THAT- Design Ideas

I got back from Boulder last night after helping my step-daughter and her husband with another staging project. Like the last time I went out there to help...... it was a full on sprint. Since it's a duplex we had to divide the furniture which proved to be a bit of a challenge!

I don't have many pictures yet but they promised to send me some....

Before....

Each side is 4 bedrooms, 2 baths with about 1800 square feet.

We only had one bed which forced us to make a trip to Ikea..... about 45-50 minutes away. Thinking myself a seasoned "Ikea shopper".....we made a list of everything we needed so we wouldn't get side tracked right! Our plan was to spend 1 hour there....period.

And....we might have made that time limit except when you buy a bed there is this little thing called "furniture pickup".

Still after 1 hour and 20 min we were on our way with a TV stand, bed, shelving unit and some decorative accessories.

We had this sucker put together in record time....31 minutes! Boom.

I'm bummed that I did not get good shots....seriously it was dark when we wrapped things up.

In other news before I left I had to pick kitchen cabinet colors for a project. That gave me some angst.....I mean if it's for me....easy peasy, but I was stressing to get it right.

The countertops are Calcutta Gold and the backsplash is the same material [one of the above patterns].....here is BM White Dove.

BM Snowfall

BM Simply White

All three.....I went with my fav White Dove. After talking to the guy at BM he told me the difference between these colors and White Dove has less yellow in it.
