Design to "SELL" in Granbury

 
3108 Walnut Creek Parkway  
 
This Granbury home is NOW on the market!  But it won't be for long, it is priced to sell and ready for new owners to move right in! What a perfect combination!
 
Altered Interiors Design to "SELL" put the finishing touches on this already great home!  
 
 
A large spacious living room with views of the back patio
and back yard invite you go outdoors. 
 
 
The formal dining room has enough wall space for a China Hutch and Buffet!
Plus elbow room around the table with space to spare! 
Your family gatherings will not feel confined here!
 
 
The kitchen has been completely updated, no work needed here! 
Granite counter tops compliment the cabinets perfectly!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
What you need know about this home is that it is
wheelchair accessible!
 
 
 
Have fun checking out all the details and schedule your showing this weekend!

Color Trend Updates

2011ColorTrend Updates for Inspiration
 
 
Earthy browns are the backdrop for milky whites and pale, buttery yellows. Hay and terra cotta mix with aubergine, pumpkin, tomato and, of course, green. Tints are warm colors are pure, used with fabrics that are textured.
 
 
A return to basic primary colors applied to a monochromatic scale of blacks, grays and whites. Pairing red with black. Blue, yellow, green - even pink are used with grays. Patterns are geometric with clean lines. Circles, triangles linear shapes are stacked and molded to create larger shapes.
 
 
 
Pearlescent and shimmery finishes applied to pastels paired with grounded colors, lavender with brown, and pale green with camel. Wispy fabrics are best compliments with these combinations.
 
 
As we see a return to the simpler things in life comes the use of bold colors rich berry tones, fire orange, saffron, cinnamon are all paired with browns, a bronze metallic and charcoal. Beaded elements are seen every where on almost anything and check out the new Tortoise shell texture.
 
 
 

Start at the Ceiling

A total room redesign through the ceiling
 
 
Ceilings are often the forgotten Fifth wall of a room.  Color, sheen, pattern, and texture on the ceiling can transform the entire look and feel of a room.
 
 
altered INTERIORS loves the creative use of color
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Not recommended for the faint of color
 
 
A large room with high ceilings can can feel unbalanced with all the furnishing on the bottom half of the room.  A deeper color on the ceiling balances the large open space and makes the room feel cozier.
 
 
 
 
 
Even with the dark ceiling this room is still light and airy
Now thats colorDecorative ceilings
 
 
               Be creative!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Ceiling is 5th wall.
 
 
 
If you have a low ceiling,  make the room feel larger by minimizing the color contrast between the ceiling and the walls.
 
Flat paint will prevent light from reflecting and bouncing off the ceiling.

Watch for the next post and you will see using color to highlight architectural features!
 
Until then!
