TS — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 14:26:43 +0000

It’s Wednesday and time to talk about some of the talented folks out there that I happen to come across while surfing the net!

Lara from the blog, less cake {more frosting} designed a “rad” surf-themed room makeover for her son.

Here’s the before.

With a new, more big boy color scheme, new accessories and bedding, Lara was able to completely transform this space. Here’s the after.

Love that color combo!

Don’t you just love this trend of bringing natural materials into the home? Canadian artist Olga Oreshyna takes it one step further by using reclaimed wood pieces to create the most unique artwork and decorative wall panels for the modern home.
