Urban Grace Interiors {the blog} bio picture

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Erika and this is my blog.  You might have come here from my old blog- if so please update your feed or bookmark the new site... I promise it'll be much better than the old blog.  If you are new around here welcome!  I'm so glad you are here.  A little background on me: I am a new mom to a precious little girl, a designer, a wife, and the mother of two rescued dogs (Penelope & Paisley).  I am passionate about design, and I also enjoy gardening, good pens, art, photography, antiques, traveling, and rescued animals. 

If you are curious about my design business, Urban Grace Interiors, you can click that link above titled "Portfolio" that will take you to official website.  This blog is just my daily ramblings... some of which are design related, and some of which are not.  I hope you like what you find here... I aim to inspire.

 

 

take a deep breath

One of our clients in Houston emailed us photographs yesterday of her Master Bedroom that’s been a work in progress for the past eight months.  When we opened the photos our jaws dropped.  What a treat for our eyes to see the end result – such a peaceful, calm space.  This little snippet of calm made us sigh… ahhhhh….

May 5, 2011 - 7:39 am Bernie - I love the way the square shape is so subtly repeated....the carpet, the ceiling, the bolster pillow....Love it! Can you give us any more information about the ceiling? I've been debating about painting a ceiling to look like that, but I'm sure it will never get past the dreaming stage.
