workin.

I am starting to get settled in to my new job at Beth Haley Design. 

Here are a few pics of the studio...it's purrty...

I'm officially a part of the team since they put me on the website! :) 

and I made my first contribution to the BHD blog last Friday! check it out!

We were at market in Highpoint, North Carolina last week.

 Here are a few Instagram collages I made from the trip...

There was so much to see! It was a lot of fun 

to see all the latest and greatest in the design world.

I will try to post some pictures of projects that

 I've been working on around the house soon.

 Peace out girl scout.

starting to feel like home.

 We are in Nashville now!

The house we are renting has been scrubbed from
 top to bottom! (with bleach and a toothbrush. no really...
just ask my sister :) All of the boxes are unpacked
and I'm starting to get things up on the walls.

This is dining room wall above the buffet.

 I am considering painting these lamps a bright

 persimmon orange or a kelly green. 

I'm trying to be brave. :) 

What's your vote?

our bedroom has an odd layout and this is really the best 

wall for the headboard to be against. :/

I hung four white curtains panels to make to window appear to be larger. 

Then I clipped a patterned fabric onto the two inside 

rings in order to cover the ugggly mini blinds. 

The front door and shutters were peeling red 

paint that didn't look to great against the orangey/red brick. 

Using leftover paint from previous projects, 

I painted the shutters glossy black and the front door turquoise.

Our rentals den and kitchen are still stuck in the fabulous 70s...aka awful. haha

It's just really dark and dated looking since there aren't as many

 big windows in that part of the house and there

 is wood panelling on all the walls in there.

Our landlord is really sweet and when I told her my
idea to paint and showed her a pic to help her visualize
 what I am thinking she seemed to be on board.

Painting the upper cabinets and all the panelling

 white/light and then painting the lower cabinets a

 darker color with really brighten the space up 

without washing it out completely. 

We will see if this actually happens. I will keep you updated.

Hope everyone is having a good week and hopefully 

you are all experiencing some cooler weather! 

It is beginning to feel a lot like fall up here in Tennessee! Love it!

we are moving!!!

We are moving to Nashville for Lucas to get his masters! 

We are sad to leave our precious family and friends in Abilene

 behind, but are very excited about this new adventure!

I am also so sad to be leaving our sweet little casa 

that has been a joy to work on for the past three years. (sniff sniff) 

I have sooo enjoyed posting all the projects and 

remodels that have occurred in this home.

From scraping and painting the entire exterior to tiling the shower, 

to most recently updating the kitchen...it has been so much

 fun putting our extra time and effort into making this place our home!

I think that there is going to be an open house this weekend on Sunday...

so if you are interested in living in a great 2bdrm/1bath house

 on a quiet little street, with really sweet neighbors...

come check it out! call Lauren Clark at (325)-669-7225 if you are interested!

Next time I blog will probably be from Nashville! :)

kitchen update.

Here's a pic of my kitchen when we were first moving in in 2009.

My sweet MIL was helping me decide where everything should live :)

 We painted the kitchen almost immediately after we bought it but we just installed new counters and a backsplash this weekend....loving it!

hope you are all having a splendid week!
