holy schmoly

Holy schmoly am I tired!   It has been quite a week.  Were you wondering what happened to me?

This little guy had his tonsils and adenoids removed.  Twin brother stayed with Grammy and Pop-Pop so Mommy could spend some one-on-one time … and that’s exactly what I did.  Other than to get popsicles, I’m not certain that we moved off the sofa for several days.  It felt a bit like having newborns again — back then, they ate at 2, 5, 8 and 11, am and pm — only this time it was pain meds at 2, 6 and 10, am and pm.  He’s a tough little buddy, though, and is feeling much better now.

I also prepped for a photo shoot, which happened this morning.  Dustin Peck — our very talented photographer –was fantastic, and I’m looking forward to another shoot with him later this month.  I love how this light commercial project turned out — it’s a waiting room and eyeglass studio for an optometry office — and I’m excited to share it with you.  Of course, I managed to find a pair of sunglasses while I was there.  Exactly why is it that — of the wide selection in all price points — I was drawn to the Gucci ones??  Um-huh.

Another client and I made our decision on the final few fabrics going into the “big boy” room for her absolutely beyond darling twin boys.  This is just a teensy sneak peek, and I promise you aren’t even getting the best of it.  I design for many families with multiple birth children … because, as a mom to rambunctious twin boys, I know how to create a beautiful home that is “twin-tested and mom-approved!”

Oh, and by the way, these Moroccan pouf ottomans — so not yellow.  Can you say “creamy beige?”  Disclaimer:  Perhaps you’ll get yellow ottomans if you order the “same” thing from a different source!

Last but certainly not least, did you see the news??   I was selected as a finalist in the Hickory Chair Centennial Design Challenge for my reinterpretation of the Suzanne Kasler Tuxedo Armoire as a sideboard and/or media cabinet.  Thank you so much to everyone who voted for my design and to the judges!

Bon week-end, everyone!   Do you have anything fun planned?
