Details in design

 

I have spent the last few days picking out, organizing and shopping for accessories for my installations in a few weeks.  As much as it seems like it should be all fun it is still a lot of work.  Packing is not my favorite thing!  But the details are what makes it all come together.

I love this space and the trunk used as a table.  I wish that was what I was working with but alas I am not there just yet.

Teen Bedroom design

 

I have had the pleasure of working with one of my clients on a bedroom for her 16 year old daughter.  It is really fun to see her inspiration and what she wants to do with her space.  

I wanted her to have something fun and functional with a little bit of spice to keep it interesting for her.  I suggested a large leaning bulletin board and a lot of smaller photo/art frames, as well a bright splashes of color in the rug and pillows.  

It is always nice to do something a little different!

Meet my Two Zip Hipster

My Mum sewed up another of Erin Erickson's Hipster bags, this time in the Dusk colorway of my Sticks fabric. It features orange zippers requested by moi. The strap on the bag is adjustable so you can carry it over your shoulder or across your torso.

See? All my orange stuff fits in it. Notebook, calendar (yep, I'm old school like that), and my iPad. (P.S. If you need this orange iPad wallpaper, grab it here.)

This baby is going everywhere with me. Thank you, Mum!

Interior Photography.. and my {1000}th post

 

Lately I have been thinking about interiors (big surprise there)  and interior photography.  I was looking through Ashlee Raubach's blog and saw this picture.. which I love.  Ashlee took our family pictures last fall and she was amazing!  I cannot wait to have her photograph some of my work and my home when I get ready.  The light in this picture makes my heart race and that table makes me want to scream I love it so much.  I love the way she uses the light in the space and the softness that comes across in the photos.

Anyway, I am curious have you had interior photographs taken?  What do you think of different styles?
