Growing Decor Hunt – Beneficial Traveling!

So I’ve been sharing several stories lately of my travels, and you will see me refer back to them periodically – as one post cannot hold all the ‘worms in a single can’.

Making something out of Decor Hunt has been no easy task. It has taken years of thought, schematics and most importantly desire. Lets not forget all the inspiration, and help from friends and family along the way! It has been a true blessing for the support I receive from you all, so simply stated “Thank you!”

When visiting my family in South Carolina, I acquired a few things to help the business’ growth. These things have already been proven to be useful and will continue to benefit my growth for years to come!

First of all I would like to thank my family for my turn with the S-10…

It’s a great lil truck for making my business stand out and be recognized here locally, and will very soon be seen quite often, as I’m more easily able to acquire much needed building materials and furnishings. Although this truck has been knocked out and drug down the street more times than I can count – it’s still family, since it’s birth in 2001, and has drifted across the eastern coast from one family member to another over the years. It is now my turn again to put this truck through its retirement years in sunny Florida. It has been proven on its own to be a great marketer, as well double as a work truck.

So after spending some time with my brother and cleaning up his estate, we decided on a few things that created much needed inspiration, including the stepping stones – embellished with sea creatures for the infamous dragonfly garden.

I promise, much more to come with this new development now that I have a truck to haul my much needed ground cover. Lets not forget about signing my work with this hand carved branch that proudly displays my last name. Thanks again bro for the wonderful inspiration soon to be implemented!

So now that I have the basics covered, I need to get back on the ball with my fence design and the new owners of the property. Since my original design was submitted the old property owners sold, and now I may lose the design completely, but am in hopes that may not be the case so I can complete the amazing work already underway. Let’s keep our fingers crossed as I should be reigniting this conversation shortly.

It would be a perfect natural landscape. Life always throws challenges your way, it’s up to us to overcome and accomplish those challenges, and make them triumphs!

Stay tuned as I am preparing a special surprise for you all in the coming weeks of new handcrafted decor by yours truly, and the help of my new carpenter now on board! I hope to share many new wonderful things with this assembly of a talented and ‘driven’ team!

Go get em!

Sipping on some iced tea, reading a good book and watching the kids run around the yard just became stylish with this ‘heavy-duty’ bench. Worry free materials create a park-like setting in your very own back yard! This particular piece brings an extraordinary level of quality and sturdy construction.

The first of many items to come…

Stay tuned as more products are being completed as we speak!

Decor Hunt Confessional – ‘Tripping’ & The Pink Forest

With a title like that you must think that I was tripping. I assure you, that definitely is not the case. Just catching up with some highlights with my trip to Las Vegas, that i recently took. There is truly a pink forest, and it is a rather mystical place. This magical place can be found by walking through the blazing slot machines, crowds of people and winding corridors that connect the two towers of the Venetian and Palazzo Hotel and Casino.

The sights are truly breathtaking upon entry with this awe-inspiring barrel vault corridor, and interpretations of the Sistine Chapel, featuring the work of Michelangelo, and continue throughout this extraordinary establishment.

20130406-143242.jpg

After heading through the winding corridors you reach a magical oasis. Amongst the chaos this peaceful oasis provides tranquility with its constant flow of water and beauty.

20130406-144423.jpg

Lets take a closer look at the details.

A look up…

20130406-144704.jpg

Just an amazing place I was able to enjoy my morning cup of coffee, peacefully. Right under this beautiful tree…

20130406-144913.jpg

Throughout this corridor featured large pink blossomed trees, and a variety of restaurants and shops.

And for some evening fun, or whatever the time you wish to quench your thirst – you can always visit the crystal cave at the opposite end of the forest for a refreshing beverage. Beautiful crystal drop lights hang from the honeycomb ceiling, creating the perfect atmosphere for a little relaxation after your journey.

If you’ve had enough of the country side, you can always head back to town center via water taxi.

The Venetian offered superior service, and met my expectations in every way – and then some!

I hope you enjoyed my post, and continue to follow along with my journeys to come!

Decor Hunt Confessional – ‘Tripping’

Well, I kinda figured it would be a catchy title. My tripping confessional is all about my recent travels for business and leisure, and you will see much more to come.

Recently my brother was relocated through the United States Marine Corp., and I traveled a short-few hours to see him off as well my wonderful, amazing sister-in-law. May every blessing come their way! I was also blessed with my parents traveling from Ohio at the same time!

I always enjoy visiting my brother, as it ignites the sparks of creativity between us. I especially enjoyed collaborating ideas back and forth renovating his three bedroom home, turning it into a beautiful income property. His talents are unbelievable, as well versatile. I can truly say I look up to his quality workmanship, and stellar TALENT. I mean he only has proven to be second best, nationally, for building and remodeling. (2000 – 2001) Lets just say his talents exceed most, with an IQ I’m stunned by. His laid back approach to secure a constructional flaw has proven to be amazing, and commendable by the most experienced. He sees building as a un-complex design, and knows every stroke to make – almost like a professional chess player making the perfect check-mate!

Check out some of these great views from his newly renovated rental property.

Well, it’s definitely a Hansel and Gretel house… Almost makes me want to bake cookies and even a pie! (Lol) I do love it, and he has done an amazing job cleaning this foreclosed, over-run home up. Checkout the new kitchen below:

How about the slider he installed in the dining room?

20130404-215508.jpg

Amazing, right?! (Colors are so much better than the frog green that was there before – another time.) For now, we are checking out the completed – full – renovation! Living space…

Restroom salvage… (Before, I couldn’t really find Nemo – but he was definitely in their somewhere – thanks for setting him free Tommy.)

20130404-215955.jpg

I’m definitely loving his rustic look… As it continues through the original Crayola room…

Great custom built-ins, this ‘Bro’ didn’t skip a beat! Check out the master bath, as well a COMPLETE remodel!

20130404-220358.jpg

I just love that late 1800′s Cabinet hung as a vanity – completely flawless with taste and desire of natural character. Speaking of going ‘old school’ check out his garden! (I think he should have been featured in the top 25 blogs for living off the land, not me… Even though I am making great attempts at it.

20130404-220940.jpg

We are not done… Continue on!

20130404-221058.jpg

Alright, I give up – not really – but this man is absolutely ridiculous, right?! THAT’S MY BRO! Love that man and respects everything he does!
