Happenings..

Wow! How is it Thursday already? This week has been a whirlwind but filled with some great things! I was thrilled to attend a "social networking" speaking series on Tuesday morning at the Boston Design Center. My dear friend and fabulous designer Erin Gates of Elements of Style hosted the event and interviewed Anne and Suysel of Tilton Fenwick design. It was so nice to finally put a face with their names. They had lots of great tips for everyone and were sweet hearts. Their new fabric is line is gorge!! Check it out at Duralee if you haven't had a chance yet. I brought almost every sample back to my office this week. I have a number of amazing projects under way. I can't wait to incorporate this their designs!

Anne and Suysel

I'm also thrilled to announce the pre-release of Erin's new design book. Erin and I go way back. We met while working together at a design firm in Boston ten years ago. (I'm not sure where the time goes!!). Erin slaved over her book. It was truly a labor of love and I have no doubt this mini-memoir/design book will be filled with humor and beauty. I'm pre ordering my copy this weekend. Purchase a pre-release version here today! It will arrive October 7th.

Congratulations Erin!! I'm very proud of you lady! xoxoxo

happenings....

I'm hopping on a plane in a bit for my ACE Hardware design expert position. We're brainstorming our 2014 color picks for the Clark+Kensington paint line!! Fun, fun!!

Here's a snapshot of what's going on in my world this week.....

I'm using these fabrics for pillows on a beautiful project. They'll be placed on a charcoal sofa. I'm liking the "off" colors.

My boyfriend and I took my kids to the "world famous" Marshfield Fair last week..good times!! I'm still a fan of the old school rides.....

I'm thinking I need to add a cornice to my window treatments in my bedroom design.

I'm purchasing a pair of these leopard beauties from Furbish Studio for my living room design.

My entire house is painted!! YAY. I went with the shade on the left in the living room and down the hallway!! It looks dramatic, I'm loving it! I can't wait to share some sneak peeks with you all!!

I'll be in meetings all day tomorrow so I won't have time to post!! Happy Weekend!! xx

1. I couldn't agree with this sentiment more. "Time to drink champagne and dance on the table"! (let's hope so anyway). Here's a little snapshot of my week in photos.
My fabulously talented friend, Sarah from Lilhoot, is giving her daughter's teacher this little treat for the last day of school. That's my kind of gift Ms. Crawford! Nicely done!

2. Here's a sneak peek of a friendly budget friendly job I just finished up! I took this quick pic yesterday. I ADORE Rose Cummings - Zebrine wallpaper. I think I have to use it at my own home someday!

3. I picked up Martha's food issue yesterday. It is chock full of yummy recipes.

4. It's been raining all week in Boston. My three year old daughter insists on picking out her own clothing....Here is her rainy day outfit selection this week!

Happy Friday, Cheers to a fabulous weekend!!
