Look what I've been doing!So.......I've been away from the blogging world for quite some time, but hopefully I'll be sticking around for a while! 2014 brings new adventures and so far I'm loving it! I've started a new business as a home organizer. My business is called the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheClutterCounselor" target="_blank">Clutter Counselor</a>. I help clients simplify their lives and get rid of the clutter!<br />
<br />
For years, I've been helping friends and family organize their homes and closets, but I thought I would share my expertise with everyone! Sometimes I feel like I missed my calling as an interior designer......but, I figured out how to combine my passion for design/organizing with my experience as a licensed clinical social worker (hence the "clutter counselor"). I'm able to use my skills to help clients identify the problem, make a plan, then work together to solve it. As we work through the clutter and organizational challenges, I teach them how to maintain order in their daily lives....hopefully making their lives less stressful and more efficient. Lastly, I completely "practice what I preach"!!!!<br />
<br />
So, here's an example of how I took my organizational ideas to the next level in my own home. This is my linen closet that got a bit disorganized over time. I find that when you try to stack things in piles, as opposed to putting them in baskets/bins, they get disorganized quickly. So, I bought these bins from the <a href="http://www.containerstore.com/shop/storage/binsBaskets/viewAll?productId=10029538&N=81212" target="_blank">Container Store</a>, added some ribbon and a tag, and voila!<br />

I ended up with Carrera marble looking porcelain tile with glass tile accents from <a href="http://www.sydneyglasstiles.com/" target="_blank">Sydney Glass Tiles</a>. I really love the way it looks like marble, but it has the ease of cleaning/maintenance of porcelain tile. Again, I should mention that Reagan at <a href="http://www.thefloorstoreofacadiana.com/" target="_blank">The Floor Store of Acadiana</a> was instrumental in helping me decide on the final product. Thanks again, Reagan!<br />

It only made sense to continue this design into the bedroom. So, I retired the heavy, dark wood bed to the attic and bought a fabric covered headboard which changed the entire look of the room. As always, there are still several finishing touches that have not been completed. I have an accent pillow for the bed being made. I'm hunting for a new lamp for Lon's side table and new shades for both lamps. The benches need recovering and a monogrammed duvet is needed for the down comforter at the foot of the bed. The mirror is going to be another crafty project.....covering the entire thing with oyster shells. Oh, and I know it's kinda passe in the design world, but I love my juju hat above my bed. :)<br />

I created the artwork by painting canvases, adding some shells (some found by us on vacations and some acquired over the years) and pouring a clear epoxy over them. It works for now until I can afford some original art. So, I'm off to obsess about the guest bathroom.Ashley Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17660810653442036484noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081475110254861976.post-10884324527449188932012-06-24T22:40:00.000-05:002012-06-24T22:40:07.644-05:00A Place to Dine......<br />

As with the rest of the house, the dining room is a work in progress. Eventually, there will be white wing back chairs at each end of the table to add height and drama.

I love the view out to the courtyard, so I don't want to block the view. But, I would like white silk taffeta drapes to flank the windows.<br />

I made the sculptures on the mantle and I'm happy with the way they turned out. I took a break from pottery to focus on moving and unpacking, etc. But, I can't wait to go back in September-so many more ideas!Ashley Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17660810653442036484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081475110254861976.post-60446625683449476392012-03-30T13:35:00.000-05:002012-06-24T22:29:18.241-05:00Just In Time for SpringWe FINALLY have landscaping! This was the biggest problem of the entire building process. Long story short-I decided not to use my builder's landscaper and go with another landscaper that was highly recommended. BIG MISTAKE! Lots of money later......and STILL no plants??? Finally, we decided to do it ourselves because we were tired of looking at empty beds and our time period for planting was getting shorter. My friend Glenda helped me decide what plants we should buy and where to put them. That was a HUGE help because gardening is not my thing! And then, our neighbor James who owns a nursery delivered all the plants. :) After all the hard work of my WONDERFUL husband and son, this is the final product.<br />

I LOVE the way Keegan's room turned out! I was so excited that my vision actually came out the way I pictured it in my mind :) Check out my cool rope curtain rods....an Ashley creation. I saw something similar on the Nate Berkus Show, but put my own twist on it. Thanks to Lon who executes all of my crazy ideas! </div>

I've been collecting several things for his room for some time. I love the boat box that I found at the Red School House in Washington, LA months ago. The bedside table came from World Market. The drapes and blue bedding are from Pottery Barn and PB Teen. The buffalo check shams and quilt are soooooo old, but are Ralph Lauren. I'm a bit of a recycler when it comes to design. I like to use what I have in order to save money and/or I can buy other things that might be needed to update a room, etc. Something that was used in a previous house might be used in a totally different way in this house. </div>

Keegan picked out his hanging chair this past summer which is from Ikea. Lastly, the nautical wall hangings are from my friend Suzanne who was going to donate them to Goodwill. They belonged to her late father. I told her that I loved them, so they've been cherished by us for years. Suzanne, I think of you and your dad every time I look at them! :)</div>

Craft Room..........finished! In the original design of the house, this was a small office off of the main living area. When we modified the design to add a second story and the stairs, it made my craft room twice as large. So, bonus! I love the artwork wall made by Keegan throughout the years. It makes me smile :) I bought $30 worth of white duck fabric from Walmart and stapled it to the underside of the desk. No sew!-which is great because I don't sew! If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm kinda an organizational freak. Off to organize my closet (which maybe I can show you next).Ashley Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17660810653442036484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081475110254861976.post-16570340791189044802012-03-11T13:50:00.000-05:002012-06-24T22:31:53.735-05:00It's Time to Cook!!!Finally, we are mostly unpacked!

I thought I'd give you a list of all the kitchen products we used. The kitchen cabinets are from <a href="http://www.midcontinentcabinetry.com/" target="_blank">MidContinent</a> and all installation and design was provided by <a href="mailto:leightonm7@stine.biz" target="_blank">Leighton Mire</a> @ Stine Lumber. Stine also provided the white <a href="http://www.cambriausa.com/" target="_blank">Cambria</a> quartz counter tops. All of the <a href="http://www.schaubandcompany.com/" target="_blank">Schaub</a> hardware was also provided by Stine. I LOVE the backsplash tile which is from <a href="http://www.thefloorstoreofacadiana.com/" target="_blank">The Floor Store of Acadiana</a>. Just ask for Reagan-she's great! The island lighting is from <a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/?gclid=CNKIxcu5364CFSHatgodwlbYZA" target="_blank">Shades of Light</a> which I used for several fixtures throughout the house. The barn lights above the range area are from <a href="http://www.atgstores.com/?ppc=38&af=38&s_kwcid=ATG%20lighting%7C6251749221&gclid=COKa3s-8364CFQZ_hwod4gddYg" target="_blank">ATG Lighting</a>. I love these Tolix bar stools and they were such a bargain! I found them on <a href="http://overstock.com/" target="_blank">Overstock</a> for $75 for 2 stools! Lastly, I've had these original paintings of desserts for several years and I love them in their new spot. They were painted by <a href="mailto:jancartier1@gmail.com" target="_blank">Janice Cartier</a>, who is a fellow New Orleanian living in Dallas since Hurricane Katrina. These are some of my little treasures that move with me from house to house. :)<br />

Thank goodness because all the clutter/boxes/mess drives me INSANE. If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm pretty rigid and can't stand disorganization. It makes me grumpy :) So, of course I can't show you any photos until it's organized, etc. Here's a tour of the house pre-chaos/boxes/mess.<br />

It's enough to drive you crazy!-or, crazier in my case :) But, the good news is the house is 99% completed and I LOVE it! Here is what's happened this week.<div><br />

We are soooooo close to completion. I'm ready for the painters to get out :) After they finish all the touch up painting, they can actually start cleaning and put in all the finishing touches. I'M READY TO MOVE!!!! I have definitely learned patience throughout this entire project, but I'm not sure it's working anymore :)<br />
<br />
We have sod and the flower beds are formed.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The area below is going to be mostly fenced for a tiny, tiny courtyard with a fountain, garden and stone pavers. Just enough area for entertaining, but not much more :) We chose to have a small courtyard as opposed to a larger yard from the experience of having both. The latter has proven to fit our lifestyle much better.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I'm so preoccupied with moving and the last little details of the house.......I can't stand it! :) I keep telling myself 2 more weeks, 2 more weeks. This week they are finishing lots of painting, the last of the tile work (kitchen back splash and fireplace surround), the last of the electrical work, landscaping and then clean up!!! Here are few more photos:<br />

As I pack up the apartment, I can't wait to unpack, especially into organized closets/pantry. In all 3 previous houses, I've NEVER had a real pantry. So, here's what I hope mine looks like.<br />

<br />
I bought both chandeliers from <a href="http://www.shadesoflight.com/" target="_blank">Shades of Light</a> and I'm happy with the results.<br />
<br />
I've been dreading making decisions about the landscaping, but the time has come. I really have no interest in gardening, but I want my patio/landscaping to look nice. So, this is one area that I'll leave up to the landscapers.<br />
<br />
But, I do have some inspiration photos: :)<br />

So, my dream foyer is a larger open space with herringbone wood floors that leads to a more open great room and kitchen. The chest would be flanked by the 2 orange chairs. The combo of orange and gray is my favorite right now. The lamp would be off to one side of chest and mirror hung off centered with the architectural element in front of mirror and coral over on lamp side. At the corner of the door, the urn would sit to gather umbrellas, etc. The wallpaper would add some more depth and a set of windows would be flanked with very simple drapery panels in a white linen. To add some privacy to the front entry the screen would line another wall/opening to great room with the bench in front and sconces hung on screen. Finally, the rug and wonderful chandelier accent the foyer perfectly!Ashley Rileyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17660810653442036484noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4081475110254861976.post-88827182093281221172012-01-17T19:29:00.000-06:002012-01-17T19:29:38.145-06:00Plumbing......Boring!The house is coming along, but not much to show you because most are still works in progress. Hopefully, the plumbers should be there any day??? I know.....plumbing is boring! But, I think it can definitely help or hurt the overall look of a bathroom. So, like everything else I OBSESSED over the right sink/tub/faucet, etc. Just thought I'd share some of my choices. If you notice, ALL of the fixtures have very hard angles-no round or oval shapes here. All rectangles and squares in this house. All of my plumbing supplies came from <a href="http://theplumbingwarehouse.net/main/index.php?page=home" target="_blank">LCR Plumbing Warehouse</a>. Thanks for your help, Stacey!<br />

Here's the work in progress:<br />
<br />
I used a mosaic wood tile for the counter top made by <a href="http://www.mozaandcompany.com/glasstiles/" target="_blank">Sydney Glasstiles</a> which was supplied by the amazing Reagan at <a href="http://www.thefloorstoreofacadiana.com/" target="_blank">The Floor Store of Acadiana</a>. Now, we're just waiting for the tile to be grouted and the sink/faucet to be installed.<br />
<br />

Oh, and that piece of wood under the counter top is just for support while it dries. :)<br />
<br />
Here's the sink that I can't wait to see in person!<br />

He doesn't understand why I need so many dishes/glasses/bowls, etc. I'm not sure how to answer his question, but I DO know that I needed somewhere to store it all. :) So, my architect designed a closet in my dining room with floor to ceiling shelves. I knew that this closet needed something special, so I picked out these 9 foot antique doors from <a href="http://blog.paulmichaelhome.com/" target="_blank">Paul Michael Home</a>. I can't wait to unpack!<br />

I've always been a night owl, but this is for the birds. I literally toss and turn until at least 2 am-this has been going on ALL week. I obsess over house stuff and my brain won't go to sleep. I unpack in my mind every night.......like, what am I going to put in my huge laundry room closet??? (Of course, I had time to figure it out-seasonal decorations! And in my anal-retentive fashion, one season per shelf. Labeled, of course!) Which cabinets are all the dishes/pots/plates going in??? Last night's obsession was what to do with the space above the range??<br />

The ceilings are 12 ft. and I need something to fill this space and not make this beam seem so squatty?? So, I decided to add some sconces for interest and dimension. These are my top picks.<br />

I can't wait for all the lighting to be installed. Any day now....Hopefully, Monday's the big day. I scoured the Internet for lighting options that were both affordable yet stylish. I also got lots of help from <a href="http://teche-electric.com/" target="_blank">Lauren @ Teche Electric</a>. Thanks, Lauren!<br />

Well, I cannot say enough about MY builder. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/LR-Mitchell-Construction-and-Development/245209508871852" target="_blank">LR Mitchell Construction</a> is a father/son team who are the BEST! They have made this process as easy as building a custom home can be. All of their sub-contractors are of the highest quality. (For a "detail-oriented" person like me, that says A LOT!) Ray Mitchell of LR Mitchell is always responsive and I highly recommend him as a builder. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The other key to building a house is having a WONDERFUL husband who lets you do whatever you want. :) He trusts my choices and if he doesn't like something that I've picked out, we compromise and pick something else. Thanks, Honey!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2TtsXkgV8LSvY3muHNfpstuhyphenhyphen_CyFJsqVb0NeDwt2QUP6Zycr8eyh0VJ1_r2anI122pkuUQC4I0n4KtUUXmO7XhwHzb9TcYtPtnmm6Thk5pyQNIsJcmpA2rdl4zWniZF0x4vRAE5EMYI/s1600/IMG_1818.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2TtsXkgV8LSvY3muHNfpstuhyphenhyphen_CyFJsqVb0NeDwt2QUP6Zycr8eyh0VJ1_r2anI122pkuUQC4I0n4KtUUXmO7XhwHzb9TcYtPtnmm6Thk5pyQNIsJcmpA2rdl4zWniZF0x4vRAE5EMYI/s320/IMG_1818.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So, we've got stucco, tile/wood flooring and a kitchen! I could not have done all of this without the help of several vendors. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.thefloorstoreofacadiana.com/" target="_blank">Reagan @ The Floor Store</a> was so great to work with and has the patience of a saint. I'm sure it's common, but I've changed my mind about 1,000 times. I'll show ALL my tile/flooring choices in later posts-so stay tuned! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Another major decision for me was cabinets and counter tops. It was great to be able to get both cabinets and counter tops from one vendor-Stine Lumber. All cabinets throughout the house are made by <a href="http://www.midcontinentcabinetry.com/" target="_blank">Mid Continent Cabinetry</a>. The kitchen and master bath counter tops are made by <a href="http://www.cambriausa.com/" target="_blank">Cambria</a>. My vendor <a href="mailto:leightonm7@stine.biz" target="_blank">Leighton</a> was so great and very responsive throughout the entire process.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

No more tearing pages out of design magazines. So, you can follow me <a href="http://pinterest.com/ashleyriley/" target="_blank">here</a> or just look at a few of my inspirations below.<br />

The overall architecture of the house reminds me of these designs:<br />

Finally, my architect, <a href="http://www.sugarmillpond.com/about-us/architecture-and-design/" target="_blank">Edson L. Davis</a> had pre-designed house plans which were then customized to meet both my functional and aesthetic wants/needs. The house design reminds me of those throughout Alys Beach on Florida's Gulf Coast. Oh, and FYI....Edson rocks!<br />

DESIGN :) Throughout this process, I've been very organized and have already picked out most of the basic colors, tile/wood flooring, plumbing fixtures, lighting, etc. Now, I'm just waiting to see more than just a shell. Along the way, I've had time to change my mind a few hundred times about certain finishes, but I think I'm done. No more changes.<br />

It really looks smaller than I thought, but I know that will change. It is great to get a feel for the rooms and the overall flow of the house. I can't wait for sheetrock!<br />
