IN HER SHOES: Danielle Oakey Interiors

A couple of months ago I found Danielle’s blog. I insistently became smitten with her. I really loved all the rooms she had designed in her home on a budget. I even mailed her some of my fabric stash for her to use on new pillows for her living room:

Isn’t that floral trellis fabric by Brunschwig & Fils just fab!

With that a friendship was born and Danielle was sweet enough to participate in my IN HER SHOES series.

Enjoy!

I am so excited to participate in this series! My days are never the same, some are busier than others, but that is what I like most about my schedule, it is so flexible!

7:30am: I am woken up by Emory jumping into my bed and giving me cuddles. It is the best.

7:45am: I lay in bed, check my emails and blog comments, and blog surf.

8:00am: I drag myself out of bed. Emory is hungry so I fix her some breakfast. I love her mismatched jammies, I am chalking that one up to creativity.

8:15am: Time to make myself some breakfast. Lately, I am loving a green smoothie in the morning. This recipe is my favorite.

8:30am: I clean the house, put in a load of laundry, shower, and get ready.

10:15am: We are off, we head to Michaels to pick up some supplies for a DIY project that I am helping a client, and good friend, with after lunch.

10:45am We pick up some watercolor paper for an art project, and then head to Home Depot for some spray paint.

11:00am I find the perfect charcoal spray paint!

12:00pm Arrive at my friends house. Her entry rug arrived the day before so I took a second to snap a picture. I love the way her entry is coming together.

12:30pm: Eat lunch and then get started on our DIY project, painting picture frames! Emory plays in the backyard while we get to work.

 2:30pm: While we wait for the frames to dry, we start on our DIY art to go in the frames.

4:30pm: We finally finish our art project and head to dinner!

5:00pm: Emory was starving and I had no food in the house, so we stoop at Noodles & Company for dinner. She loves that place.

6:00pm: We head home and get Emory ready for bed!

7:00pm: Put Emory to bed…wahoo! I love that girl but bedtime is wonderful

7:30pm: Zack arrives home from the hospital. I get to chat with him for a quick second before he heads back out the door to study

7:30pm-12:00am: It’s time to get to work! At night is when I get things done. I write my blog post for the following day, work on my design projects, and answer emails. By midnight I am exhausted!

12:00am: Bedtime, my favorite time of day!
