I hope you all had an amazing weekend. We had an action packed weekend here in NY. One day of fun and one day of work!
On Saturday we had a fuzzin wedding to attend. Of course I had minor freak out over what I was going to wear. I had plans to run out early Saturday morning and search for a new dress at Nordstrom Rack, but apparently my body had other plans. I didn’t wake up till 10:30 am and then after cleaning up the house a bit I knew it was way too late to get ready and make it out to find something new.
So I became an outfit repeater (Anyone know what movie that term comes from? Totally ashamed I’ve seen this movie. 🙂 ) and wore the same dress I wore to Mom and Dad’s vow renewal.
I changed it up a bit and added some vintage earrings that added a punch of color and sparkle, but also pain. They were clip on’s and they hurt!
A group shot of all of the ladies at the table:
One of the only shots I got of the bride and groom. They looked great. I can’t wait to see their professional shots, because mine didn’t come out so hot.
We danced the night away and then headed back home to get some rest, because I had big plans for Sunday.
Sunday we added new pillows to the living room:
Plus a vintage bamboo mirror was giving a coat of orangey/red spray paint and hung up for all to enjoy. The larger mirror makes a huge difference. It really opened up the space!
Window Treatments went up in the dining room:
Hung stunning artwork that I will treasure forever! It is by the amazingly talented Tina Steele Lindsey a wonderful artist based out of Atlanta.
It’s all coming together!!! I can’t wait for portfolio shoot. Only a couple more little missing items and we will be finished…for now… 🙂
What were you up to this weekend? Any fun projects you took on?
I am always worried about being a repeat offender but I don't really think anyone notices! It's a beautiful dress…might as well get some use out of it!
Can't wait to see your portfolio shots…your home is looking great!
Sounds like a great weekend! I love the look of your living room, espec. the window treatments and the bamboo mirror! This weekend I went to an antique fair where I picked up a Dorothy Draper Espana chest for $100 (I think it's a knock off but still a good price).
Love your chair in the living room. Can I ask where it is from? I am looking to add two chairs to our living room. We just bought a huge sofa that will be recovered once I figure out the chair situation.
I love them and the store always has some sort of 15-20 % off promo code going on. They are based in NC so I didn't sit on them before hand, but they give a 30 showroom trial so you can test them out in your home and see if you like them. If you don't they will come back and pick them and give you a full refund. Pretty cool. We bought out sofa from them as well.
Where are your white roman shades from? Are they custom or did you pick them up from a store? They look great. Love the crisp white. Which brown do you have in your living room? I tried a Benjamin Moore Grizzly Bear brown…I like yours better.

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 […]
I adore Lindsay's art! The pillows are wonderful with the new drapes. Where did you find them (the pillows)!?

Everything looks great ! I was going to say I did absolutely nothing this weekend, then I remembered I did a cornice on Saturday.
I need a nap in that window seat after reading all that you did in a weekend! Looks great!

Have a nice day.
