| Happy Almost December. 'Tis the season for entertaining so I thought an inspired dining post would be appropriate. When working with client's I'm inspired by both their lifestyle and the world around me. I love this "street style" photo. Her entire look is fabulous as is the architecture, the color palette and the array of textures and light. The furniture boards below show two versions of dining room ideas based on this image. I've come up with two visions, when you switch a few items out, the room can take on a new life. In option one the light fixture and rug are the dramatic features, in option two it's the deep smokey wall color that's moody and eye catching. I LOVE emerald green and those leather covered chairs are to die for! I always try to incorporate one of a kind objects into my designs. It is the key to devising rooms with depth and interest. I've linked all the items below each design. Cheers, I'm excited to kick off the holiday season this year! |

| I'm thankful for working in such a creative field, I spend my days trying my best to devise unique concepts and designs for my clients and ideas for my little blog. The people I work with and all the gorgeous images I peruse are truly an inspiration! I presented a nursery/children's design this past week. It's a pleasure working with my clients to create environments that better their lives! Kids spaces are always a favorite! These are currently two of my favorite kids spaces (found via Pinterest - is it okay to say i'm thankful for that too, work wise, it's a designer's dream) image 1. via |

| I'm thankful for all my amazing clients (you know who you are!!), you're a pleasure to work with and that my interior design business continues to thrive!! Above is a sneak peek of a project I'm about to have photographed. Image: Shelter |

| I'm thankful for the upcoming holiday season and enjoy gathering with my family and friends. I adore you all, thanks for all your love and support this year!! This image is magical isn't it?? I'll be lucky to purchase a house a 1/4 of this size, but I can appreciate a show stopper when I see one! |
 |
| I'm thankful for my little ones, they force me to stop, breathe and appreciate the simple pleasures in life, like our nightly reading hour. My five year son has asked me to read this book all week. The message is so inspirational and spot on! If you're feeling frustrated, lost or even a bit overwhelmed with life, sit and read this Dr. Seuss classic! Everything usually turns out okay, even better then okay! |
