Yesterday I had the privilege of being invited to Carey’s first home (a very dear friend of Amy) that was primarily furnished from “The Moon” OMG I couldn’t get my camera out fast enough. She called her style Modern Cottage Chic.
Carey, Amy and a host of mutual friends including Amy’s husband Chris basically gutted this nondescript 1980′s home and the transformation was dramatic! I hope you enjoy the tour as much as I did.
The Closing on this long-awaited project was 2-22-10! The renovation begins!
This narrow painted bench originally from the coast of France purchased at the Moon fits within a quarter inch of the front door clearance….Serendipity! Great landing for our handbags! Of course we are all coveting Amy’s Chloe bag!
Gateleg table turned sofa table purchased at the moon painted by Amy.
Pillows from the moon.
How fun is this zebra stripped slipcover made by friends of Amy,David and Marian. Side table from Home Goods.
Another famous media window cabinet made by Homer. Our customers are keeping Amy so busy she hasn’t had the time to white wash the new lumber but it is still such a statement!
How cute are these suitcases turned side table.
Caned chair and chandelier from the moon.
Dining table was made by the very talented Homer. The top is a painted barn door. Chairs purchased from the moon. Window treatments from Anthropologie.
Kitchen island made by of course Homer! The ends are windows, so clever!
This is the very famous chandelier that hung in Blue Moon for a very long time awaiting the renovations at Carey’s home. We had daily offers to purchase it. It is fabulous!
These two mid-century modern chairs arrived at Blue Moon with the original fabric in mint condition. Side table purchased at the Moon painted by Amy.The fireplace went through the biggest transformation stone from ceiling to floor, before, now the iridescent tiles in a shimmery green-blue! So Beautiful!

Carey and Amy painted and stenciled the cement floor in the entry kitchen and family room after the existing flooring was removed. They said it was a labor of love but well worth the results!
You may remember this vintage wine jug from the blog titled solitary elements in July.

Our heartfelt props to Tampa’s own DIYer’s ,Carey , Amy & crew!
Thank you Carey for sharing your extraordinary home, it is such an example of style and heart!
Seeing this gives me some serious motivation to tackle my new home!
Isn’t it fabulous!
You are extroadinaieally talented, please keep up the beautiful work.
Thank You so very much! You are sweet to take the time to respond.
I would love to have one those gorgeous dining tables! I have one of your custom window sash tables with reclaimed hard wood top and lovely shelves for storage beneath, purchased about 4 years ago, but it only seats 4 and am finding I need something bigger… I love the table but wondering if you would make a trade?
Hi Emily,
We can use the the wholesale cost of your table as a deposit toward the larger table.
