No. 11 photo shoot

No. 11’s photo shoot…

My UNBELIEVABLY talented and closest friends over at Kellan Studios just completed one of my most favorite photo shoots over the weekend. Of course this could be because they used No. 11 as a PROP and LET ME TELL YOU…..he looked GREAT. The lighting, the gorgeous models, the headpieces, the clothes….the furniture :) It all was spectacular. We can all agree that the photos are AMAZING. To see the entire shoot, go here. Aren’t we just SO proud of No. Read More

lamp love…

I rarely go, but every once in a while I will find something at the goodwill that can be given a little love and easily fit in my home. These lamps @ $5 each +  yellow paint + new lamp shade = perfect bedside lamp set… Still deciding on lamp shade colors….hence the plastic…but you get the idea… Sweet! cheers, s

It was VERY helpful and I think I know just what to do…. Have a Read More

Turning 2 is so hard to do…

I am so excited about today… My daughter has no idea what is going on, but it is her birthday and MAMA is trying desperately to make her excited about it. {in other words: MAMA  is being a FREAK and she doesn’t know why}. Perhaps I am TOO excited…she had “birthday yogurt” this morning and “birthday jelly” on her sandwich and she gets a LOT of birthday kisses. Ok, so I am not actually doing anything out of the ordinary, Read More

No. 11 Desk

No. 11 {well traveled}

We are pretty stoked about No 11…..not only did he turn out better than we DREAMED, but he was SO much fun to create! Take a look… He started out with some pretty bad scratches and broken hardware…but with a little repair… …he is the PERFECT shade of turquoise now… BUT that is not all folks….we experimented with paper for the first time and IT WAS AWESOME… This was an old oversized calendar I bought in Italy in 2003…here is Read More

trunk funk… {need your suggestions}

Eleven is almost finished- sorry, this one is a lot more detailed and is taking longer. In the mean time, I thought I would show you THIS awesomeness that I picked up and it is in the pipeline… The exterior is in poor shape, so I must paint it…but I need your suggestions on color… the interior I love with my whole heart….of course I will repair it too, but probably keep the original paper… Suggestions on color? -s
