Morning friends.
Let me start this post with a ginormous thank you for all the kind words yesterday- as I suspected, you all know how to make a girl feel really swell...beyond appreciated...truly...y'all light up my life;)
I'm hoping to launch the store officially next week...stay tuned.
In the meantime, I've got a....
...update/plea for help.
As you may remember, this was the design plan for the office...
...things were moving right along until A from A's landlord said 'no wallpaper allowed' and we both cried.
Thankfully, A from A is brilliant.
She emailed me with this idea....
...to which I said. 'hell yes'...and so she got buuuuzzzyyyy....
...and then I saw these progress shots and well...died.
It's golder than our original paper choice...i.e....WAY more AWESOME...as she put it, the office is like a little jewel box...heaven...I'm so proud.
So...walls...check.
And in other progress news...our vintage Etsy chair got picked up from the upholsterer and is now very happy in it's pink faux ostrich suit....oh and our dotty fabric arrived...
...it's being made into a skirt as we speak.
Chair and desk...check.
So...all is coming together.
With the big things done, it's time for the accessory hunt.
I originally suggested a pendant light but there's no electrical up there and well, that's just a pain so...I'm thinking these on either side of the mirror instead...
...with pink candles of course.
I'd also LOVE this vintage Vera scarf pillow to happen...
...and this desk lamp too...
...of course, we're going to need some art up in there.
I'd love to see one piece on either side wall.
I showed these Lonny plexi framed swan prints to A from A, after seeing them and almost passing out...
...sadly, they are out of budget...and that's where you come in.
I've put together 8 other art combo possibilities and A from A and I have decided to let YOU CHOOSE!!!
Fun, fun, fun.
I'm going to post the final selection boards tomorrow and then we'll open up the vote...most likes wins and WILL be ordred/installed.
Excited?
I am.
Until tomorrow then...

Oh my goodness that wall leaves me speechless. what a lot of work - but what an impact! This room is going to be crazy. As for the prints - did you see that Poster Jack does plexi prints? Maybe search on Flickr for swans and see what comes up, then ask the photog? Une Idee...
OMG. That wall is all kinds of fabulous. Can't wait to see the artwork choices :-)
and Yay for the shoppe opening next week!

This is all kinds of fabulous!!!
I love the stencil wall, even better than the wall paper. Can't wait to see the art options you have:)
Oh I love this! That stencil came out AMAZING. I am a firm believer in stencils. They can look DIY'ey if you let them, but you have enough style and taste to not let them, so they will always work!!! LOVE.
PS - cant wait to see the options for the pics. PS - the second I read that, I was reminded of this print on etsy that I die over. Im gonna send it to you - i dont know if it jives with your vibe, but i think youd appreciate it too :) because I know you like ostrich !
Its so absolutely freaking gorgeous! Love all it.
Oh yes I'm excited. This looks divine Christine!!
Um, I really want those swan photos. There's got to be an equivalent out there somewhere. I will anxiously be waiting to see the alternatives. Finding good art is your forte! That wall is amazing, must've been a lot of hard work but it seems well worth it. Great job!
Eeeek it's all coming together amazingly!!! I really think the walls look even more fabulous than originally planned! Can't wait to see the art options :) xoxo
It is going to be amazing! And I am so excited about your art, you better believe I will be using it in a few designs!
Crazy Good! Can you share where the stencil is from?
LOVE and I want more pics of that glitter details!! I love anything and everything that sparkles!!!
I just passed out from desire when I saw that desk lamp...where is it from? This office is going to be amazing and make me die of jealousy.
