Justin & Jody's House

This is my beautiful friend Jody!










Yes, that's me taking lots of photos of all the pretty things!






FINALLY, here are some photos of my friend's house. Justin & Jody have just finished building this modern house which they are planning on selling very soon as they are about to embark on another project.

Jody wanted a really pretty look which is a big departure from the look she had in her previous house which was taupe and natural.

They had lots of old pieces of furniture which they had collected over the years which we painted and recovered. There are some more pictures of their bedroom which we did in navy and white which I will post sometime soon as well! Hope you like this fun, happy, bright house!!

oh I love the toile covered chairs, it's all really pretty and kinda modern with an oldie feel, love that.

I come across chairs I like often and am wondering how easy it is to re-upholster and how budget friendly it is

Hi Anna,

When you decided to take time off in Feb I deleted the ABT link from my 'favourites'... for some reason this morning, I was inclined to visit your blog and was absolutely delighted to see you'd returned! Scrolling through March's posts made me feel inspired and ready to get on with my day... So glad you're back, Michele


PS- in one of your March posts you mentioned you were looking for pretty original artwork. I would like to introduce you to a [Canadian] friend who paints wonderful florals.

You do such a lovely job! I wish my husband would allow more "prettiness" in our home! Everything has to be "manly"...or "unisex"!

I love the pinks, reds, and all the floral. Great job!
