Seeing RED
RED
The color red has always fascinated me. In the past I had a color analysis in Feng Shui and found out that Red is my power color. Red is also the symbols for fire signs (I’m a Leo) and a #9 in numerology; again Red……Hmmm? I also found out that green and brown are my grounding colors. Which means it takes earth elements to calm me down. Knowing that tid bit of information about myself, I now understand career choices, passions, my love of gardening and the color Red. Blue reds to be exact…..Orange reds not so good with my skin tone.
One year I decided I was going to get rid of all my red Christmas decorations…it didn’t last but for a hot minute. What was I thinking? It quickly came right back into the design each year with a new piece here and there. This year I added just a splash of red to each room and I’m so happy with how it all turned out. Next year will prove to be MORE RED purchases. Photo’s of our homes Christmas decorating this year below, after you view wish photos for next years wintery scene. My personal style for our home is French cottage (hence the french blue) with a touch of DIY (creative mind) and put your feet up anywhere (we entertain a lot)!
My love of Red has me seeing it everywhere this holiday season and it seems others have the same love of Red as I do. Even our lovely First Lady Melania Trump. Even if you do not see eye to eye politically you have to admit her decorations this year in the White House are stunning. After seeing her post on FLOTUS it inspired this post.
I’m sharing a few photos I’m swooning over this year and I’m so putting this into my décor next year. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

Who says white is boring?
Who ever said white is boring, has never thought of it as a background for all other colors.
My completed project in Newport News is a success. The client wanted everything modern and slick with color added through furniture, art and accessories…..
She wanted to surprise her son with a makeover for his new condo. We met in November while she was visiting Virginia, to discuss design and budget.
I sent many suggestions from November to January until we had it complete, down to the light fixtures all being changed out with new modern style shades.
January to March was filled with on-line shopping, e-mails and phone calls. U&I Home Decorating and Staging had everything delivered to their office and stored all the items awaiting the day of install in March.
My client is thrilled and I couldn’t be happier for her and her son. I think we all need a Mama like her don’t you agree!
Sea Cloud Beach House ready for rent
U & I had the pleasure of decorating an entire 3 story beach house in the Outer Banks area, Southern Shores North Carolina. We were blessed with two of the sweetest clients I have ever come across.
The home is located just minutes from Duck, Corolla, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head. Manteo and Hatteras are a short drive. Her name is The Sea Cloud…..You can walk to the beach front via a path in the back beside the beautiful pool and hot tub or a quick drive around the block for a beautiful stay in the OBX.
This house has it all…..7 bedrooms, 8 full baths 2 1/2 baths, elevator, media room, game room, billiard room, full kitchen, kitchenette, and wet bar. U & I created a Nautical casual elegance with a Cape Cod lighthouse and Ship theme…Nautical Deep Navy blues, Rich Reds, and Classic Taupe flow through each room with details in accessories and accent walls. The Client has listed the home with Twiddy Realty in Duck North Carolina. You can have a sneak preview of the property via their link. Enjoy the slide show or click on each photo to enlarge for detail. All amenities in this gem…..you won’t want for a thing….Beautiful sunrise over the ocean view on the upper decks and sunsets on the front decks….games galore for the whole family to enjoy….electronics will have you thinking you’re in a real movie theater in the media room. TV’s in every room for quite movie watching or catching up on the news time alone. Beachy landscape and rock have been added to the landscaping which are not shown in the house photo as of yet. The pool photo will be up dated as well with the new hot tub and beach loungers in red and blue. More photo’s coming next week.
I would like to give a special thank you too Daniels Homeport Toni Shallop for her fantastic customer service. I recommend her assistance to anyone that goes into this store. As well as thanking my two very good friends Natasha Clarke and Kristen Doughtery for lending a hand. My wonderful carpenter/handyman husband Chris…..your support is everything to me. The fabulous sub teams of OBX….I could not have accomplished this beautiful makeover with you.
Let us know what you think of our make over in the OBX……….
Deborah and her Team at U & I worked very hard on this intense Top to Bottom seasonal rental project but the reward came when the clients walked through the home at the reveal with eyes wide and full of appreciation. Another satisfied client at U & I.
