Hello there! How is your weekend going? I got to? meet up with friends and catch up which is always a lot of fun…..ate a lot too, better get on the treadmill. Then I see how NYC is undergoing a deep dish pizza invasion and of course you know<\/em> I have to try out the restaurant they say has the very best, only because its my patriotic duty as a New Yorker:) But at heart I am really a southern girl transplanted here so that explains my intense love for good Southern food, monograms and traditions:)? Life is too short tn not enjoy good food…..<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to a relaxing day today, woo hoo! I haven’t had one of those in a long time. To do just as I please. I watched a movie I had seen at least 4 times again yesterday, The Namesake. Have you seen it? It is such a beautiful, endearing,? tender,? touching story……I cannot recommend it enough. Just in case you are looking for something good sans violence, blood, and all the gore that Hollywood is good at dishing out. This is a beautiful story……..but have a Kleenex box handy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyway…….I have a bunch of things going on. My blog and online shop keep me super busy, and of course its a total labor of love. I am working on 3 e design jobs right now which is a lot of fun and keeping me quite occupied….I enjoy the process immensely.<\/p>\n

I got in another huge order of my gorgeous flowers<\/a> that have been super well received. I just love these things…..I of course love real flowers but hate that they die within a week or so. The beauty of these is that they look gorgeous forever and no water required!! The orchids are as life like as I? have seen (especially once you add the moss) and the flower clusters are just amazing….they make putting an arrangement together sooooo easy! Click here to see them on my online shop<\/a>. Take a look at what I did in literally a minute or two…..<\/p>\n

These come in small clusters which makes them so easy to make instant arrangements with!<\/p>\n

Also still working on my bedroom but must say it would be impossible to be any happier with how its turned out. To me, a bedroom should be an oasis of sorts, a total refuge from the world. When I walk in I feel like I walking on a cloud, my vision of how i wanted it to look has come to life. I am putting final touches on a few things like reupholstering some gorgeous Baker chairs I have had for a long time (but far too pretty to replace)? in there and adding a different bench to the foot of the bed. Still looking for more art that works in my room, but it is really coming together. A few of the finalized fabric\/trim choices for the chair\/bench.<\/p>\n

This gorgeous print fabric can be used on either side…best part!!! I am torn by which side to use though but will make a decision this week now that I have finally decided on a fabric, at long last!<\/p>\n

And on the bench the same fabric with this tape….<\/p>\n

Got in again,? the beautiful antiqued square ginger jars <\/a>that were sold out….love these!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0819\"<\/a> \"IMG_0818\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Had more blue striae fabric so made more living room pillows and used the same to make two solid pillows for my back door windowseat………hey, nothing should go to waste!\"IMG_0817\"<\/a> \"IMG_0816\"<\/a> \"IMG_0815\"<\/a> \"IMG_0842\"<\/a> \"IMG_0840\"<\/a> \"IMG_0839\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally ( I have been saying it a long time) I am pulling the trigger on the chinoiserie for my dining room. Its been a long process, and involves a lot of back and forth not to mention each samples takes about 4-6 weeks to get so its a “process” but I have finally made my decision and it is about to begin…..at long last!!? (I got poster board and painted background colors so I didn’t have to wait another agonizing 4 weeks for another sample)! Sometimes you have to think outside the box:)<\/p>\n
