One of the most difficult things I find about blogging is naming each post. I wonder if other bloggers struggle with this as well? We are well into the new year at this point and I am finding myself struggling with the fact that it is a new year. 2018 passed like a flash and… Continue reading The Whole House
Please forgive the composition of this post, my brain is having trouble formulating proper sentence structure and words. I have deemed it holiday brain. I did not want holiday brain to prevent me from sharing this latest project though, because it is actually time/ season appropriate! A few months ago, David and I sat down… Continue reading Holiday Brain
Not all projects are what you would call sexy. Scratch that. I have yet to run into a house project that I would classify as sexy. However, working in and around your attic is what I would classify as really not sexy. We have chosen to prioritize each project in not what is immediately pretty,… Continue reading Attic Antics
I finally made fabric decisions for my master bedroom. It is exciting and relieving! This may seem like a silly statement to make. I do this for a living. Why is this a big deal– I coordinate rooms for people every day? However, as I tell my customers, making decisions for yourself is a real… Continue reading Coordination is Key
Hi, It’s been a long time, I shouldn’t have left you. 90’s music reference anyone? Anyone? That song may or may not have been my jam at one point in my life. Anyway… Life has been very full since we last chatted, hence my hiatus. That fullness has been a mix of a whole lot… Continue reading Project- Home
Over the years I have noticed that there are trends in work that comes my way. It’s a rather fascinating sort of movement. How is that all my clients are in need of roman shades at the same time? Are there little signals being sent out to us in the world that we all need… Continue reading Top It Off
I did not technically do any dumpster diving to get this settee, none the less, I still retrieved it from the side of a dumpster. I can only imagine that the Dumpers were too tired after a day of cleaning out to actually heave the settee into said dumpster. To them, I offer my eternal… Continue reading The One With The Dumpster Sofa
I have a small obsession with covered buttons. They add such a tailored, finished feel to any project. I think most people think of them relating to clothing, I’m included in that, but they also look great on drapes and roman shades and pillows. They would pretty much look great on anything. Adding dressmaking details to… Continue reading Put a Button on it
I want to introduce to you one of my favorite projects that I have worked on recently (or ever). These are a pair of cafe curtains I recently made for someone. After I finished them I wanted to make lace overlay everything: dresses, more panels, roman shades, dresses. That’s a good project, something that leaves… Continue reading Lace Overlay
Up until recently I would have classified myself as a Christmas Scrooge. I thought the holiday was too commercialized, too rushed, too chaotic, and my list would have gone on forever. I hated Christmas music, except for N’SYNC Christmas. But I listen to N’SYNC Christmas year round so that doesn’t really count. But now, I… Continue reading Ornamentation
