Nick Olsen

Have I told you how very glad I am to have a place where we can come together and share idea’s?  No, really.  Have I mentioned that I find happiness, creativity, inspiration, peace, and an overall good feeling when I am here with you?  I’m sure you must be wondering what is going on with me today.  Its just that there are days I wish my dreams were already a reality.  I know that I must have patience as good things come to those who wait, right?  I really hope so because I would love to be doing this everyday full time.  Until then, I want to talk about Nick Olsen, an interior decorator who worked for former Domino magazine.  Oh, and I also want to share a special treat with you later on – so stay tuned!

But back to Nick Olsen, who by the way is known for his do-it-yourself projects – especially refinishing furniture.  I love his bold chic style and thought to share some photos of his apartment.

How gorgeous is the white fireplace against the lime walls?  Just beautiful.  I wonder if the fireplace is original to his apartment?

The photo above is that of an Ikea coffee table that Nick covered with marbleized paper.  How cool did that turn out?  He just has a knack for enhancing furniture.  In fact, Lonny magazine recently did a great How-To article with Nick.  If your interested in learning how to paint a dresser and have it turn out looking professional, check it out here.

Alrighty lovies, I’m sure your wondering what the treat I mentioned above is all about.  Coming up is House of Many Hues 1st birthday!  Whoo hoo!  And to celebrate we will be having a giveaway.  Want to know about the giveaway?  Join me here tomorrow to find out more.
