That was a fun fashion post with my good friends!  Cindy, Mary Ann and Annie always bring it so if you did not go check out their inspiration on spring fashion you need to.... I realize I have not posted about my project on Lake Keowee!  The client is one of my besties sister and it was so much fun as I really tried to work with a lot of what she had.  They downsized in Charlotte and what did not fit in her old house she brought to the lake. Next up was finding something to go on the gigantic wall behind the dining table! This was before we order the new custom table ..read more

So I got roped into a spring fashion post...and I don't mean that in a bad way....just a "put off until the last minute way" Ha Ha. Spring in Georgia can last a month or 2 days.  No kidding...... If you want to wear cute linen jackets and light sweaters you better not save anything cause it will be 90 degrees before you know it. The reason I like spring and summer clothes is that they are usually less expensive and I don't mind buying something trendy....as I will rarely keep it for a long time like I do with wool or nicer items. Sunday I tried on so many outfits that by the end my ..read more

I am stuck sitting in my office while my cleaning people are here....so I thought I would share a few things with you! Last weekend I was invited to a beautiful wedding and it was pretty amazing!  I have to say that my client did not leave out any details! I was in a bit of a dither about what to wear and I posted a dress on Instagram that I had ordered from Zara.  It was a stretchy little number and I was definitely thinking that it would be OK but then at the last minute I pilled out a vintage Saks overcoat which was right below the knee.... It turned out to be perfect ..read more

Somebody emailed me to say she missed my blog.....I miss it also. So I need a wife to do all the things that take up my time now so I can get back to what is important:) I have had a few small installs and one of them was this powder room.... Yes...she was a tad bit dull...just your basic builder grade bathroom.  I was excited to make this room special.... Here is my board after I decided what the heck I was gonna do! Let's talk about the good parts of this room: 1.  I did not really have to undo anything....as it was pretty much a blank slate! 2.  The paneling ..read more

Well...hello there friends!   Yes.....December came and went and I have to tell you that it was a hard month.  Something about the holidays make me sad.  I think it could be many things but probably missing my sister. But hey....everyone struggles at some time or another so we have to just keep moving forward! I made a trip out to Boulder to visit family!  I had not been anywhere since last May when I went to Nantucket.   Always anxious to leave Cami and sure enough she got sick while I was gone but my dog sitter [who lives in my neighborhood] took her ..read more

Well lets see if I can keep this up....2 post in November and now it's early December so there is still a chance of getting a few more post together:) So the finger.....I can tell you that the other 4 fingers are mad at having to do all of the work.  It is still very swollen but they said to go see a specialist to get the stitches taken out and if they won't do it...then come back to the ER. OK...first of all I am not going back to the ER and taking a chance of another 3-4 hour wait.  Nope.  And when she said go see a specialist but if they won't take them out...I am like H ..read more

OK...look at me blogging again so soon.  There is a reason for that and we will get to it at the end of this post:) But back to Thanksgiving.....it came and went so fast... do you agree?   Now we speed through 29 days and Christmas will be over also....If I was 6 years old it would drag but being a spry 71 years old everything happens very fast for me! We all celebrated at my niece's new house and it was a jolly time!  Of course I did not get any pictures but I do have pictures of my neighbors table which she gave me creative liberty to do what I wanted. I decided to ..read more

Testing.....taps mike!  Anyone here?  I know....I will try to explain my absence at the bottom! But I do have some project updates to share with you and I just checked back to see my post and realize it has been since August.  Crikey.....I am so lame. So I think we left off talking about this project.  A man cave/billard room combined.  It is a basement that has stairs coming down the middle so on one side is the pool table and the other side a den. Above is the plan.....the walls were painted Sherwin Williams: Slate tile. I thought it would be fun to step out ..read more

So where have I been...not really anywhere since my trip to Nantucket in May but I have been busy working! I do have to say that August is not a fun time for me because some crappy things happened in that month.  In 2019 my husband of 27 years walked out on me and 2 years later my youngest sister passed away after a 5 month battle with lung cancer. I know....both kind of sucky things to go through.... I have realized that literally.....my design work has saved my life.  It keeps me busy so that when I want to crawl into bed and not get up....I really can't. The thing about li ..read more

I know...I have gotten so lazy about blogging....I think of all these things I want to talk about and then I get distracted and well...I am sure we all know how that goes down! Anyway I posted a reel on Instagram and someone said the pictures move too quickly so I thought I would put some of them on a post!  I can be nice like that:) This was a fun project as I was working with Ladisic Fine Homes so things get done in a timely manner. It was a renovation and there were some things that could not change.  The kitchen had a stainless backsplash and countertop so we worked with i ..read more
