monday again??

how lame is that title?

i find though that if you emphasize it like a whiny 80's sitcom character would it instantly becomes funny...

observe..

"monday agaaainnnnn???"

(laugh track)

 

we've had some awesome weather here over the last few weeks..

warm and in the high 70's/low 80's.

i didn't complain about sweating once.

in fact i enjoyed my glistening stink.

of course today it's windy and cold (the worst).

 

but i am still high on the warmth..

i actually ordered some climbing roses from a nursery! 

THESE.

 

i thought i would bring a little of that springy happiness to you, via my "outside" pinterest...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and nothing makes me happier than a moodboard...

 

 

super porch.

 

points of interest:

rug- plastic from HERE.

elephant table- HERE.

 

 

 

happy monday!!

 agaaaaainnnnn.

 


 

 

some things to think about..

working on a slight zshushing of the bedroom..

 

 

this of course stemmed from the fact that i desperately need new sheets.

i already have a great big coral puffy quilt and i love lavender with coral..so BAM!

lavender sheets.

already have the lamps, just need new shades.

window shades are being made as we speak.

just need a brass headboard and a 5,000 dollar rug

and i'm all set.

JK!

i would NEVER buy a 5000 dollar rug bc i have 4 cats and they will pee all over it 1000 times.

anyone know of a rug that is exactly like this but pee resistant?

 

 

also..

this show melts my face off...

so fucking INSPIRED!!!

 

it was nice to finally hear the "cocktail" of pills kim has been taking.

i love it when people who use drugs that are prescribed by doctors seem to think they are not using drugs somehow and that it's ok.

we aren't talking 1 antidepressant here folks.  

so don't get your panties all ruffled.

this bitch is toxic.

 

 basically she is a legal junkie.

 

new light was shed on paul for me this week.

how he puts up with that passive aggressive bitch adrienne is beyond me.

i hope he has a side piece.

 

 

slowly but surely.

 

 

if you haven't read it already,

please read this..

because it's awesome. 

 

p.s.

seances are the new BBQ's.

 

 

 

just doin more work


  here is my client's existing living room:

a very large space..

amazing wainscoting!

with 3 actual seating areas.

this first area we call the main seating area as it is where the family watches TV..

the far end there with the bookcases is another area.

and then where the photograph is being taken from is another area.

 

 

the client LOVED the recent house beautiful cover..

the one with the pink windsor smith room:

so i used it strongly as inspiration.

she really wanted the pink walls but maybe needed a little push.

since she has so little wall space, most of it being white 3/4 wainscoting i told her she needed to go for it.

men love pink, right newell?

 

 

anyway..

here is what i came up with for the main seating area:

 

 

2 smallish slipper chairs in yellowy orange and soft pink.

plenty of ethnic pieces..

suzani pillows, moroccan table..

keepin it modern and real with a little tulip side table.

client recently purchased a similar bamboo coffee table from the craig.

client will paint fireplace bricks white if she knows what's good for her.

change out sconces to sumthin a little more shiny and petite..

since the ceilings are so low there isn't enough room for a dangly chandy

but i felt bling was necessary..

that little flush mounted number provides needed bling without compromising headroom.

word.

 

 

next up is the small window area you see in the background of pic #2:

existing bookcases painted black with these handles:

 

bamboo desk from craigslist.

awesome cool lamp found by yours truly on craig.

 

it was a record craigs buying transaction.

 

it went like this:

me: you need to get this lamp.

client: ok. that's right down the street.

20 minutes later

client: done

me: amazing

 

look up close..

it's so cute i can't stand it.

 

also in this area- a leather and brass chair for a masculine sexy touch.

and the inlaid mother of pearl mirror from wisteria.

there are flowery bits in it just like the lamp and the black in the mirror/chair/bookcases

ties everything together in a way that is awesome and smart.

 

the 3rd and final area is another seating area..

there is a large picture window that needs some action...

here is what i came up with..

 

a camel back settee found on craig.

upholstered in blue les indiennes.

with suzani pillows found on ebay.

client's own tufted ottoman craigslist score in pink.

brass floor lamp.

simple club chair upholstered in a yellow chevron.

client will paint banister glossy black if she knows what's good for her.

client's own carved buffet topped with glass lamps.

 

you want help?
