I've got so many things on my brain right now that a 7 post seemed appropriate...that way I can do a little bit of everything.
1. #projectdreamhouse
I met with our architect yesterday and we've hit a snag...the lot size may mean the house I want isn't possible...I've got to put a call into the zoning peeps today to see what's what.
So many moving parts in this thing...stress-to-the-full.
On a happier note, the inspiration pot is filling up with so many ideas...my newest obsession is a wide center hallway like this oneg by Windsor Smith...
Love everything about it.
In my house, though, the floor would be done in something like this Ann Sacks divinity...
2. #projectwholehouse
The house I'm working on locally got a fabulous kick in the pants this week with the arrival of some visual comfort bliss...
Her sons room also got some custom closet doors, thanks to my contractor/moulding expert, along with a plan for accessories/bedding etc...
We're going for an 'inter-galactic/here on Earth' theme;)
3. #projectdownunder
We've finalized all of our choices and have made a few small changes.
For one, the new dining head chairs will be these BR guys ...
...and because of a change in layout, I decided to swap out the rectangular coffee table for this piece of HEAVEN from Shop 219...
...could you die over it?
4. I've sent my #projectdownunder client a mirror for approval and I have to tell you, I think I need this for myself.
Inspired by one of my fave pieces of all time, that PS, I could NEVER afford...
...is this very reasonably priced loveliness...
Love, love.
5. Speaking of mirrors...a recent discovery that has me very hot and bothered is these 'Object Trouve' guys from Codor Design...
I mean really...some of the most beautiful pieces of decor I've ever seen.
Sadly, they're WAY over my budget.
I've been thinking of trying a DIY version...surely there's a way to make something 'inspired by' happen.
6. I've got a new client, which means some new design fun is about to happen and I'm tres excited because this new project hails all the way from...

I'm excited to get my Nordic on;)
7. Ending on a personal/family note...Scarlett showed me her latest art piece this morning, entitled 'princess and the pea by me'....
...kid art is the bestest..
xo
Ohhh where is the reasonably priced mirror from? Love it
ReplyDeleteI am over the moon crazy about that jagged mirror piece. It's first on my list if I ever win the lottery!
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying following along with your dream house adventure. Hope it happens so I can live vicariously though you! And I LOVE kid's art. My favourite thing to teach is art...right now we are working on a Roy Henry Vickers inspired piece!
ReplyDeletewide center hallway = amazing...to walk into home and to immediately feel grandeur, love it. you honestly find the best stuff, Christine...and the best images! Congrats on the new client!
ReplyDeleteChristina first of all I just pinned Scarlett's Princess and the Peas to my board Art I Adore!
ReplyDeleteLove all of the thoughts you have for entry etc. The mirrors, amazing!
They must be expensive because they won't even give prices on their site!
