AFFILIATE LINKS ARE OCCASIONALLY USED ON AK STUDIO. HOWEVER THEY ARE USED TO ENDORSE PRODUCTS THAT I GENUINELY LIKE AND WANT TO SHARE. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.
First of all, thank you all so much for encouraging and amazing comments yesterday! I am so excited about what lies ahead and can’t wait to share it all. And for those of you who asked, YES I will most definitely be offering e-design!
And now… my new dining table head chairs are finally complete and I am absolutely in love with the way they turned out!!! I am not showing a full dining shot though, saving that for later.
So here is the before… (there are two of them)
The during… (I tried to paint them myself, but Spencer INSISTED I was terrible at it and took over)
And…. THE AFTER!!!
Creamy, greyish velvet with a black grossgrain trim. I am in heaven.
Hope you all have a great weekend! I am going to spend it celebrating one of my best friend’s birthdays, partying at our engagement party and staring at my new chairs!!
Today is the big day. The day I have been working for for over a year. Alexandra Berlin Design is officially open for business. I have taken a couple small clients over the past 12 months, but now it is full speed ahead.
So, what I want to say you, my most amazing and supportive readers, is that I am open for design projects big and small in the Chicago area, as well as e-design projects anywhere! If this is something you would be interested in, please email me at alexandrasberlin@gmail.com. I am so excited about this new stage of life. Doing what you love is a very, very special gift, and one that I am so beyond appreciative of. So… let the fun begin!!
And if you’re new to Things That Sparkle, you can see some of my completed work on www.alexandraberlin.com too!
This week I will be sharing the completed dining room chairs. OMG they’re insane. And even better, in the next couple weeks I will be sharing my most difficult design project (probably ever), my own condo! So many exciting things ahead, so happy to be sharing them with you all! xoxoxo
