Thanks for the Inspiration
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Organizing 107 (Sewing and Craft Rooms)
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008I am not a sewer and I don’t do a whole lot of crafts but one of my goals this year is to do more hands on projects. A craft room would be ideal and an organized craft room would be a must. Here are some rooms that should inspire all of us.
Clean and Simple.
This book shelve is put together so well with all of the specific locations for magazines, fabric and books.
An organized space like this would take a few days to create but it would be so well worth it! You would always know where your items are.
Perfect idea for an inspiration board/ storage board.
For Jmae, Sandra Ree, Karen, MaryAnne and Katie.

The sun is shining! (At least it is over here.)
Sunday, September 28th, 2008Yesterday is behind us and the new week has begun and what a lovely week it is going to be! Here are a few images from Mark Lund (via Ruby) that are quite cheery to begin this new week with.
I loved the mobile idea from Tal. Such a cute way to display all of the patterns. The covered letter idea from Smyrna Townie would look adorable in my playroom. {J} suggested a lovely idea including the instructions to make paper frames. ( I never expect anything less then creatively perfect from {J}.) Priscilla suggested my hubby do something with it to add texture in his art and maybe give it away in the next SG giveaway. (Not a bad idea!) Elizabeth gave me a few splendid ideas including covering drawer fronts, making envelopes and or using them as backdrops for an inspiration board. (I LOVE the drawer idea. The butterflies would look perfect.) I knew that I would get some fab ideas from all of you. Now I really don’t know what to do. I might just have to try all of these ideas!
Blissful Images
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Yay for Blissful Images! Mrs. French just opened up her Etsy shop and I am digging all of the art! Every piece! Good job Mrs. French 
Pia Jane Bijkerk
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Pia Jane Bijkerk is a stylist, photographer and writer. Her portfolio is packed full. I have been reading her blog for awhile now and just recently stumbled upon her portfolio. She is extremely talented. I have no doubts that we will see much more of Pia!!
Fun Stuff
Thursday, September 25th, 2008Happy Thursday Everyone! I just got home from DC last night so I’m trying to get back in the swing of things.
My cousin Tracy and I went shopping while I was there. One of the shops we went to was West Elm in downtown DC. I loved the building its in and the whole setup was very cool. It definitely exceeded my expectations.
Inspiring Indeed
Here I am taking a look thru Kelly Hoppen Home by Kelly Hoppen. A classic:)
I really enjoyed how they displayed there tables.
There was alot to look at. Tons of fun accessories.
I think she is a nice edition to the front display:)
Room of the Week
Wednesday, September 24th, 2008You see federal design all over DC and its always nice to see a fresh modern take on the traditional. Ashley Whittaker has done just that in this gorgeous Dining Room.
Special Day
Tuesday, September 23rd, 20088 years ago I got married in a ridiculously huge tulle dress with a load of sequence and sparkles sewn on the bodice and I made my poor bridesmaids wear equally ridiculous mint green tulle dresses. My bouquet was a gorgeous perfectly round ball of roses and my cake was the exact replica of a Martha Stewart mint green fondant cake with little petite white flowers painted on.
I had 9 bridesmaids. I cried the morning of because my mom called me and told me that my grandpa, whom I was really close with, couldn’t come because he had gotten really sick. My brother wrote a gorgeous song for the ceremony. I had my hair cut short because I loved Dharma’s hair from Dharma and Greg but now when I look at my photos I cringe at the sight.
To be honest I had to rack my brain for all of that information because that day was such a blur but the one thing that I remember is how in love I was and I am. Happy Anniversary Babe!

Stuff
Friday, September 19th, 2008I am currently helping a client re-style her living room, bedroom and dining room. While scouring the web last night for her home I found some great products from familiar places that I wanted to share with you:)
I’m heading to DC tomorrow so my blogging will be a little sporadic Monday and Tuesday. Depending on how busy my night is tonight I will try and post another one of my Organizing posts. Have a great weekend everyone!!!! (Congrats Derek and Katie! Love you both.)
Organize 106 (Closets)
Thursday, September 18th, 2008Closets can be our favorite space because they showcase our wardrobe that we are so proud of and those comfy sheets that cost our whole last paycheck. Or closets can become our enemy because we lose control of them and we just cant seem to gain control back. Well, your assignment is to win those spaces back!!! Whether you have a tiny closet a room sized closet, a cabinet for a closet or an armoire for a closet make that closet lovely and functional. It may take a whole day but you will feel so much better.
I found a great article at Real Simple for organizing your closets that you should check out. Its 19 organizing tricks that are sure to work. And whatever trick you choose stay consistent with your choice and make your closets beautiful!! (I will not be charging for this closet pep talk.)
