I can’t believe Sept is already here! It’s already filling up and sure to be quite an exciting time.
We have three weddings to attend this month. One being my parents renewal party this coming Sunday! Then my little sissy celebrates her b-day on the 10th, fingers crossed the new blog look & move (we are moving to wordpress!) and site will be live!!!!, the Rue Mag ladies will be hosting a big launch party in NYC this month as well as yours truly will be guest blogging at the NYDC’s What’s New /What’s Next event!
The email reminders went out this week! If you are on their mailing list you saw this pop up in your in box the other day!
The event is on September 22nd and runs from 3-9 pm. The best part is that it’s open to everyone! It’s going to be an all around fun event to attend with multiple events going on all of the different floors.
While the NYDC is normally only open to TO THE TRADE members, which always equals intimating in my mind and I’m one of them. 🙂 on the 22nd it’s open to all! They have 16 floors in total and you can have some fun and go in and out of all of the showrooms.
Plus the NYDC is the complete opposite all of the lovely people there are sweet as anything and if you come to the event you can come say hello to me and many more of my favorite bloggers.
So if you are in the NY area please come and say hello!!!!! I swear I’m super nice and I may even bring some treats to lure people into stopping by.
Plus Barclay Butera is going to be there at 4 pm too. So come to see him and then swing by me and of course tell me you only came to see me :).
Barclay Butera designed this stunning room:
Gotta love a man that loves a blue/white color combo, bamboo and tasteful animal print.
Stay tuned for a sneak peek into some of the amazing showrooms that I got to check out yesterday.

ON THE BLOG
My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
