Romantic Old World Charm Reveal...

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of giving a TOTAL STRANGER the ultimate Valentines Day present... Some of you will remember a few weeks back I told you I was beginning work on my "Delighting Others via Design" project for a deserving person... I showed you some purchases for the bedroom and the transformation of furniture... well... here they are in the room...the armoire...the lamps... drapery... accessories... and of course the handpainted nightstands by moi... the mouldings and chandelier...
the handpainted headboard by moi... new bedding... mirror... wood panels...
The room before and my drawing for the new room design...The two project was installed on Valentines Day. I arrived with my hubby and a very good friend (who is amazing at creating home design projects) to the home around 10:30am... we sent the owner away on an outing and we set to work... transforming a completely empty room. Around 3:30 we led the owner into the new room with her eyes closed and told her to open them... She was totally overwhelmed... watching her gasp in awe and cry... my own eyes filled with tears too.

I would have to say this was the most meaningful Valentines Day my hubby and I have ever spent together... it is TRUE... it is sooooo much better to give than to receive!

ENJOY your Metamorphosis Monday and visit the other participants to see Before and Afters.
