Lots of things are happening this week. Here are a few images from my desktop right now...
One of my clients is having her entire apartment painted this week. I dropped by yesterday to check on the progress. As you can see, we did our homework beforehand... making sure we settled on the perfect shade. Can't wait to see the finished product.
I drew this custom roman shade for another wonderful local client this week-- you can do so much with simple grosgrain ribbon. ;)
part of a bedroom re-design for another Philadelphia client-- we're switching up some furniture in her master bedroom. I love the tension between a classic Louis chair and a rustic wood dresser.
I found this 1960s faux bamboo armoire at an antique shop this week, and now IT'S ALL MINE. We'll have it painted, and we'll eventually put it in a guest room. My mind is already spinning with color options (glossy black? white? what color will I paint the interior?). Very excited about this guy.
also, Dave and I are filing all the necessary paperwork to obtain a building permit this week. We've saved our pennies(!!!) and we're ready to build
that carriage house. I'll be sharing more info on this huge project within the weeks to come.
Also...
I'm planning my sister's baby shower and I picked up the invitations from the printer this week. My mother and I are hosting the party, and we're really excited about it. Think 1960s Florida/Lilly Pulitzer. Lots of bright flowers and lady-like details. On the left is the invitation I designed for the event. The image on the right is also adorable-- I want to copy those super tall skewer flags. Simple and sweet.
And finally...
On Sunday, Dave and I stopped by
my favorite bakery in the history of the world. We picked up some treats for the week. Freshly baked, cheesy artisan bread. Need I say more?
