Lonny Magazine continually impresses me.

This sneak peak of the March/April issue gets me so excited.

I just want to see more!

Also, I finally finished one of my side tables…this DIY project is definitely testing my patience. 

Luckily it is turning out great, sure makes it worth the pain!

Yesterday was a big day for my little old blog, I finally reached 1000 official followers!

Even though not everyone that reads my blog is an official follower, reaching 1000 on Google friend connect was a big thing for me.

Why is it so rewarding to see that number get bigger and bigger?

I even took a screen shot of it…

Yes, I am a dork.

It is so fun watching this blog slowly grow, it almost feels like my second child.

Thanks to everyone that sticks around, I sure do appreciate it!

I also started a project yesterday.

I kinda feel like I have been in a DIY rut lately and it felt so good to get back at it.

Remember Nancy’s amazing DIY Dorothy Draper rast hack?

And Centsational Girl’s Dorothy Draper knock off makeover?

Well, I combined the two and made my own!

Here is a sneak peek…

I have been wanting to make A DIY Dorothy Draper chest f-o-r-e-v-e-r, so I finally bit the bullet and got started!

It is taking a little longer than expected ( I still have 5 out the 6 drawers left to paint) but I hope to have them finished soon and I will share all the details!

Yay for a good day 🙂

As you all know, I am a big fan of the Urban Outfitters Zigzag rugs.

The print is awesome and the price is even better!

And if you haven’t seen the new colors they added, you must check them out…

Awesome huh?

And $79.00 for a 5×7, not too shabby!

These rugs are not the best quality but sure add a big bang for their buck. I think they would work perfect in a low traffic area, like a nursery or master bedroom.

Also, West Elm has also added a new colorway to two of my favorite rugs, grey!

The neutral color and graphic pattern is like perfection in my mind, and sure makes it easy to design a room around.

They also added this lattice rug, I love the deep charcoal color.

It really is amazing how excited a new color will get me.

Maybe I need to get out more…

I have a couple of really fun local projects that I am working on right now, one of which is a nursery.

Children’s rooms are my absolute favorite spaces to design.

This space is for a little girl due in April, my clients first!

She wanted a light, airy, calm, yet whimsical space. 

I am excited about using some prints from Sarah Jane Studios in the room.

Her prints are so sweet and perfect for a nursery.

It is a small room but it think it will be cozy and welcoming.

On Friday I selected the fabric for the glider and we got it ordered!

We went with a charcoal fabric, I think it will contrast perfectly with the coral accents and minty walls.

We still have lots to do in the space but hopefully I will have some progress shots soon!

Also, this week is going to be a busy one.

I hope to have my new headboard finished, I can’t wait.
