This is a close-up of the client flooring, backsplash tile and the sample I have of the area rug…

The inspiration for this rug was all the amazing artwork the client sent me pictures of…

Colors,  Base colour, works with pets / repeats the kitchen counter / repeats the wall colour

Brown colour, repeats the accent wall in the living room

Red colour, repeats the colour of the red chairs (fabric Carole picked with me at the store)

Black colour, repeats the black grey of the kitchen back splash tile

All the other colours….. blend in colors of fish and plants in the fish tank, ;)

Only about a month to wait…

Conde Nast is bringing its much-missed shelter magazine… as they say in Calgary…Yahoo !

 

Domino is coming back as a newsstand-only special called “ Domino Quick Fixes”, a thick version costing   $10.99.  They plan to sell on news stands from mid April through mid July…. oh boy, oh boy, oh boy !!!!!

I also heard that a second special edition is stated for next fall… Happy Dance !

 

Like most newsstand specials, Domino Quick Fixes will carry fewer ad pages than a regular monthly magazine would. The Conde Nast Media Group will soon pitch advertisers on the issue. Also like many newsstand specials, Domino Quick Fixes will comprise a mixture of new and previously published content.  Singing !!!

 

Curbed reported last month that Domino could be returning in some form… Skipping around the room !

 

The original Domino published from 2005 through 2009, when it fell victim to the recession.  It was truly one of the biggest surprises to the design world and design bloggers for sure, we are all so pleased it is coming back in any form… Jumping up and down !

April can’t come soon enough for me, how about you… will you be purchasing a copy ?

Interesting Idea

with a bit of wallpaper, a few yards of fabric & a curtain rod you have a real statement wall for your sofa… comments please, would you do this?

Keep Calm’s…….

Merry Broken Christmas

this is what no sleep, no makeup and a lot of pain looks like…i broke my wrist in 3 places 3 weeks ago

my hubby got the tree up & decorated, i helped as much as i could

this is my new cast, designer cast in black & white

i have learned to use the computer mouse with my left hand, Christmas is going to be weird for sure, I think I might have to have an extra glass of punch…

2 sleeps to go…

it gets crazy just before Santa’s big delivery, I found this poster & thought I would share it with all of you, so cute… this is my mantra for all the last minute shopper’s…

 

HO HO HO… Merry Christmas one & all

so in love……..

a client gave me a gift certificate to Tiffany’s the other day…. I got a pendant I have had my heart set on for a year or so… I love it even more than I did before…

I love you Tiffany’s, your the best…love you… kiss, kiss

thank you client, you know who you are, hugs

Quote for the day….

enough said !

Some evenings you know what’s coming in the morning…

Ever get the feeling this will be you tomorrow morning?  I have worked all night on a presentation & just now realized I left my USB flash drive that I use to move my work in the computer at my other office… working out of 3 offices really sucks some days…

Emailed all my work to my other email address… I will find out if that works when I get there tomorrow… fingers crossed or I will need a double of the above because this will be me (below) at my desk !!!

so excited…

I won a Andy Warhol “Chanel # 5” poster on ebay the other day… I feel so lucky…

Just got the email from France that it is on it’s way… I just can’t what!  

Good stuff does happen…

Favourite Picture of the Day…

Loving the bookcase as a headboard. Nailing up the lamp. Weighting the cord. Using a chair for a nightstand (ok it does need a tray, but still loving it) cute art and vase…& the colour of the walls and bedding…brilliant!
