****Sorry for the repeated postings- WordPress had a big glitch, and many were not receving the posts nor could you leave comments, it should be fixed now!****<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello! Busy busy days over here. The design job in NY is taking up a lot of my time, then throw in our renovation, having a new granddaughter, my business and let’s just say my days have never been so full (or long)! Yesterday, took a few hours late in the day to play Rummikub with friends and it was by far the most relaxing 2 hours I have had all week. It is important to try to carve out a little time for the things that relax us, though there is admittedly not much time for that right now.<\/p>\n

Though I have not posted in a few weeks on current state of affairs with the renovation, things are very much happening and we are slowly approach that more exciting stage. I am almost done picking out all bathrooms which is quite exciting! Trim has started, flooring will start next week. Lots of exciting things on the horizon. As I always do I am sharing pictures taken recently and then a few ideas which I always enjoy getting your take on. So have a look…….<\/p>\n

These are colors (mostly blue\/grays) under consideration for the design job in NY but I love them so much that a few I am considering for my own house. Many on Instagram asked for the colors, will get them and share next time<\/p>\n

3rd floor<\/p>\n

OK here are a few areas that I am making decisions on, there is an upstairs landing\/reading room, it goes out to the upper deck so I anticipate it will be a spot that will be nice to retreat to. On one wall we will have this built in, and then I hope to put two chaise chairs on the other side. I actually love all three of these colors! Would love to know your fave?<\/p>\n
