instagram updates

While I'm not putting my blood, sweat, and tears (literally) into our new house, I've been out and about taking in design inspiration. I'm lucky to live in a city that has so many fabulous showrooms at my doorstep. This bath design at the Ferguson showroom was a showstopper. I'm debating between brass and chrome for our bath and/or kitchen, and change my mind almost daily on this!
 I got a tour of the Subzero/Wolf showroom a couple of weeks ago to get inspiration for a kitchen/dining project I've been working on - This dining room was spot-on!
Here is a peek at my design plan. Google SketchUp *might* finally be growing on me.
We tiled and grouted our floor in the guest bath in preparation for the arrival of our vanity. It got a little delayed, but it's definitely being delivered tomorrow. Be on the lookout for sneak peeks on my insta account!
Last but not least I visited Mili at the Kufri Life showing at the 2014 Artist Open Studios. I'm loving the new Spring designs as well as the addition of rugs!
On the list for this week: Having our final meeting with our contractor so he can get to work on the big stuff, finally getting sod laid, finalizing flooring choices for master bedroom and Charlie's room, and painting the fireplace. One thing I'm learning about this whole process is that nothing goes as quickly or smoothly as you expect. All of our timelines (and budgets) have gone out the window due to some shoddy DIY jobs from the previous owners (womp, womp), but we're hopeful our contractor can help us out of the mess and still have everything ready before our move-in! I promise to share more pics and progress soon, but right now there isn't a whole lot of progress being made :)

valentine's day instagram updates

A few Valentine's Day Instas from this week: 
My office exploded from so much crafting. I liked it.
We had some fun trying out different mustaches on Tobias. He looks quite dapper, don't you think?
He also got treated to a Valentine's bedding upgrade.
I'm so very grateful to have shared the last 12 Valentine's Days with this guy.
I hope everyone is having an extra special day with their loved ones today!

instagram updates

It's been quite awhile since I've done Instagram updates! Here are few highlights:
Had a wonderful time volunteering for the ASID Holiday party at the Renaissance Collection Showroom.
Reluctantly put away all of my sparkly Christmas decor.
Hit the after Christmas sales hard - J.Crew gets me every time!
Commissioned Charlie to hang drapes in our living room, and added a new chair to this corner.
Totally cleaned out and updated my office area. I'll be sharing this update on the blog soon!
I'm obsessed with the light in our apartment. I especially love the constant sunlight in our dining room. It's where all our plants are living during the wintertime.
Did you see these amazing chairs we got reupholstered in our Samarkand ikat fabric? I can't wait to see what the person who buys these does with them.
Experimenting with new colors and combinations for our Spring fabric collection!
So much going on, and so little time before school starts again! This week we're doing an exciting photo shoot with the Dallas Morning News. Follow us on Instagram for a sneak peek!
