A Little Housekeeping…..

A few randoms for you on this Wednesday….. 1. A lot of people have complimented our guest room headboards (thanks!) and even asked if I made them (no!)….. bbbbuuuuutttt…. they’re back for sale again on Joss & Main!!!! 2. I’ve got people emailing me left and right for sessions this fall. My weekends are nearly booked through December, so if you want that awesome Christmas card photo…. email me quick! 3. We’ve also still got a few sessions available for beach portraits…. email me about those too! (ps… thinking of taking our navy & white stripe settee out to the sand!) 4. It’s this guy’s birthday!!! Love him 🙂   (images by Jonathan Canlas)

Beach House | Projects

We spent the weekend soaking up the last of the summer sun and working on a few small projects…. It’s funny how small projects turn into giant ones, huh? About 5 weeks ago I stopped by Mary Jo’s to hunt for some good drape martial, and came home with 4 yards of one that I just loved. I knew I would use it either in the living room or master bath, but wasn’t sure yet which. Looking back, I don’t know why I didn’t gust go ahead and get 7-8 yards, so I would have enough for both panels! I decided I wanted to use it in the master bath and made it a point to pick up more yards a few weeks ago. Over the weekend I finally got around to sewing the panels and getting them hung (only a 2 month process to hem 8 sides, and hang a curtain rod!) I also picked up this painting on the right…. thoughts? Is it too small for the spot? The curtain fabric is Lorton by Kravet. I purchased it for $20 a yard at Mary Jo’s My anchor pillowcases from Garnet Hill arrived… Love them! …. What would you hang above these beds? It’s not on my immediate to-do list…. but I’d love some input! Back over the 4th, one of our island pendants bit the dust (literally fell out and shattered all over the room!), I had to scramble to find another on eBay (they’re discontinued) and paid a small fortune for it… but it arrived and the threads on the globe needed some glue… we’ve only had it about 2 months, and finally bought some super glue to fix it and get it hung! I also picked up these food-related prints (they’re actually greeting cards from Southern Weddings!) and framed them up. They will eventually hang over where you see all the mugs (but of course, they didn’t get hung either!)

Personal | Beach House, First Labor Day!

Since moving into the beach house in mid June, we’ve been back four times….. each time we accomplish new things and each time new people come to visit. We got down to the house late Thursday evening and even though I was feeling awful, I still managed to unpack the car and assemble some new lights (which we returned.. boo!). We arrived late Thursday to find our smoke alarms “chirping”….. not what you want to deal with at midnight…. and we then realized the horrific placement of 2 of the alarms…. at the top of the vaulted ceiling! Thankfully, the one in our bedroom wasn’t going off…. I have no clue how we would have reached it…. but to get the one in the loft down…. we had to take our kitchen table upstairs and put a bar stool on top…. yeah…. we bought a ladder this weekend. We also picked up some hooks for the “entry nook” so when you arrive there’s a nice, neat spot to hang your purse/jacket/beach bag/etc. I also got my 3rd frame replaced….. last time, when we arrived I was framing my prints we had done with Jonathan Canlas and discovered broken glass….. I’m happy to report they replaced my frame free of charge 🙂 These prints will actually hang on the wall behind the sofa, but are on the ledge out of the way for now. These are 11×14 prints in 22×28 frames. Last time we brought one of the chairs I recovered with a drop cloth slipcover. This time I brought the blanket (Lands End) and pillows (I made). The dogs have taken it over. There was lots of lounging on the porch too!   Hope you had an awesome, relaxing weekend!!!!

For Sale | Buffet

I purchased this buffet about 2 years ago for my photography office. I’ve made the tough decision to give up my office and have to be out by Memorial Day- I love this buffet, but truly have no where to put it. Pick up in Davidson, $225 OBO ** Cash or Credit Cards accepted** Remember a buffet doesn’t have to be a buffet….. it would make  a great dresser or media cabinet too! *** Want it painted?? We have the contact info for an AWESOME guy! Measures: 60″ long, 21″ deep & 36″ high
