Exciting News

I was officially asked to design an office space for a friend who works from his home.
When I say 'official' I mean he offered me money.

I've helped numerous friends with their homes but always felt silly taking money from them.
But now I feel it's not so silly.
It's what I want to do with myself, hopefully more so after kids are older.
Also, reading this helped.

Large's room redo is almost complete.
Her new bedding and curtains came last week and they look amazing with the new wall color.

This is her new wall color.

I also found a vintage bentwood chair for $35

that I'm painting mint green to go with the desk I scored on eBay for $99.

I love eBay more than most people I know.

True story.

And as long as I'm divulging everything, this is my new favorite table topper from Jayson

that I don't own but someday hope to.

Nate Berkus at Jayson Home

On Monday this was in my inbox.

On Tuesday Katherine, Jamie and I headed to Jayson to meet Nate Berkus.

I was disappointed how luke-warm his reaction was towards us.

He wouldn't pose for pics with people {what?}. 

You're one of the most adorable human beings on the planet Nate.

Yes we want a picture with you.

The line was five minutes long, by no means hours.

Katherine was all, 'I don't give a shiz if he doesn't want to pose. 

It's happening.'

I bust a gut every time I see this.

Jayson Home was the perfect backdrop for the occasion.

They offered everyone cold cans of champagne with striped straws and 

waiters walked around with appetizers.

The home goods in this store are sublime. 

After shopping we were off to Paris Club for dinner.

Katherine, Me, Jamie.
