all things interesting (in my opinion)

YOU!

I haven’t posted in a million years – I opened a shop and gallery to showcase my finds and  then I put my head down and haven’t looked up for the last 2.5 years!  BUT –  I have managed to keep up with my guilty pleasure – Audible.com. The books I have listened to have kept me sane by entertaining my mind at times when I would otherwise have been adding more gray to my scalp from worry. And who hasn’t sat in crap Seattle traffic? But NOTHING I have read (scratch that) listened to in the last two years has been as thoroughly entertaining as the two books I have just listened to by Caroline Kepnes! I want to meet this woman! Actually no I just want her to write another one in the series NOW! AND the narration of Santino Fontana is the best I have heard – HE NAILS IT! SO don’t even strain your eyes – YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THESE!

I am super excited to have a project featured on Houzz.com as Kitchen of the Week! I love Houzz and use it all the time with my clients. An amazing tool – what would we do without the web?!

The link is above and here are a few more pics:

New Year’s Resolution

In Design on January 26, 2013 at 3:55 PM

One of my promises to myself this year was to make sure to document and share the work I do. Thus I have been scheduling photo shoots like a mad woman as well as trying to find the right platform for a new website – something mobile friendly, easily updated by me or mine rather than a team of specialists etc. But for now I thought I would just start posting stuff willy-nilly to my blog.

Here are a couple of shots from Wednesday’s shoot.

Story: Cute family expecting their third daughter. The first two daughters are heading into their tween – teen years and the parents wanted them to be excited about bunking-up in the same room together. Here is a BEFORE shot of the room:
