Sarah's Fab Day. Sorry its taken me so long to post this. Sarah, was nice enough to request to know more about me. Thank you, so much.
What was I doing ten years ago?
Well, I was 22yrs old, and already pursuing my desire to be a designer. I had taken some time off from school because of family and financial reasons, but was back at school again.
I was at a job selling mini-blinds and shutters. You know those little places that you walk into when you are in a dinky shopping strip. That was me in there.
Mark and I were already dating and had been for a couple of years. By that time my family had given up hope that we would get married. (That happened the very next year).
This article is making me feel old. I still think of myself as the silly girl in this picture. I remember how funny I thought it was to wear a Marvin the Martian cap. Also, those glasses are my most favorite glasses I have ever worn. Of course, what bugs me the most is how much thinner I was. Arrrgh!
5 Things on my to-do list today.1.Find fabric and interesting art pieces for a current project.
2.Get Liam to take a nap, because he is home today....please nap!
3. Hurry up and find a hotel for a trip I'm taking to Dallas. (Yippee!)
4.Load the dishwasher. (Boo!)
5. Write this post. Well, at least I've got one chore done.
Snacks I enjoy.1. Current favorite: Vanilla yogurt w/ strawberries and cinnamon.
2. CHOCOLATE ANYTHING!
3. Liam's little cheese squares.
Things I would do if I were a billionaire.1. Travel, travel, travel. I would go to Greece, Spain, Italy, Japan, Australia, to name a few.
2. Build one of my dream homes...or maybe more than one.
3.I would want to give a lot of it away too. Mostly to children here, and starving people in third world countries.
Places I have lived.
I grew up in Amarillo, TX. I have also lived in Austin, besides my adopted home of Houston. Pretty much just a good ole Texas girl.
People I want to know more about:
I'm going to pick Cassandra of Coco Kelley, and Lauren and Emily of Material Girls. That way its a two for one deal :)
Have Fun!
I know this is an oldie, but it is a goodie. This is the home of Domino magazine editor Deborah Needleman, via New York Magazine. I wonder why this has never been in Domino? Its so drop-dead gorgeous. She uses my preferred palette of soft muted tones, with jolts of color. The living room is very sophisticated, but it still looks like a place I would go curl-up for a nap. Speaking of sleeping, the master bedroom is a dream come true. I love the mix of patterns on the bed.
I have a love/hate relationship with Ikea. My experience with them makes me hate the place, but my wallet still loves it. I must admit, though; that I really like this kitchen display. I like how clean and organized it is. What I like the most is the wall of shelves in the background. I really want to incorporate this look myself.
I apologize for being late with my Monday "Dream Home", I had unexpected guests and didn't have time to get to it sooner. I realize I didn't post one last week either, so here it is. A dreamy house that is all arrayed in white, just like a beautiful cloud. Maybe it seems like a dream, because I don't know how to I would maintain an all white home.
I had an overwhelming urge to go to the nursery. I had to bring these little guys home.
