Happy Halloween

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween.

Help Please, Can You Identify This?

A friend is looking to sell these two framed pieces of wallpaper.  However, we don't know anything about the paper to price the pieces.  Does anyone out there recognize this?  Thanks for your help!

Looking Back...and Up with Disney Baby

 I wanted to say thank you to Disney Baby for including Henry's nursery in their nursery ceiling round up.  It was fun to look back at this post that detailed how the ceiling came to be...

From sketches....

 To completion...

 You can see it all HERE.

Client Entry

As I have projects photographed I will try to share some here.  We shot this house about a month ago and I thought we would start from the beginning....

More Party Pictures

Some additional pictures from the Souther Living/West Elm Dinner last week.  This time from a real photographer and not my phone...

This is what I call good company.....(I'm in the pink skirt)

Weekend At The Races

We were in Kentucky this weekend and I am just getting back into the swing of things so I don't have a design post today but I thought I would share some pictures.  There is something about a weekend with great friends surrounded by natural beauty that has me feeling inspired...

 It was my second time here, I can't wait for several more.

Wall of Horses at Darley...

What can I say? He was wearing my favorite colors.

 Horse country...one of my favorite styles and inspirations.

Last Night...Under The Stars With Southern Living and West Elm

It is not everyday that you are invited to an intimate dinner with the editors of Southern Living and the creative team from West Elm.  So, when I received the invitation for just such a night I was happy to join.  It was beautiful, relaxed and just what you would expect from both companies....

The party was held in celebration of the West Elm opening in Birmingham.   My deep love for West Elm has been well documented WELL DOCUMENTED on this blog so you know I am very happy to have them in our back yard.

 The festivities were held at Jones Valley Teaching Farm and if you live in or near the 'Ham you really need to check it out.  It is such a cool place.

 Sometimes I feel like lovely table settings never actually "happen".  It is like they are a figment of the imagination.  Something you see online or in print but not actually in the real world.  But this, this was not fiction....

Somehow I managed to leave without one "people" picture, well except this one.  If I come across any I will repost here if I can.  Below- shoe twins!  The other pair belonged to Courtney from The Scout Guide (friend and former office neighbor).  Turns out we both have been eyeing the Rag and Bone Version but both bought these instead....go figure.  (although I have not ruled out the possibility that the R&B might still live in my closet this year).

I want to send a huge thank you to Southern Living, West Elm and Jones Valley Teaching Farm, it was a very enjoyable evening and I thankful I was able to be a part of it.

Little Things

Hello Monday, you again.  Let's get this week started.  I hope you all had a great weekend and head into today refreshed.  A friend captured this picture this weekend at a pumpkin patch...I think it says it all.  It is the little things....little moments that sustain your soul.
