Kind of like blogging. I opened blogger to start a post and sat there staring. At first it looked like a math problem to me. "I can't do this" I said to myself. "Of course you can......you know your multiplication tables sweetie.....just start from the beginning and you will be surprised what you can do"......"But what happens when I get to the 8's or 9's?"......."let's just start with the lower numbers and see how far we get".....
OK......the basics. Design. I am starting small here....easing back into it.
The good think is I do have a giveaway.....the Atlanta market is in town, and then there is always Scott's. A few updates on that house and some info on questions a few of you had.
First things first. Here is the info on that herringbone runner. I think I already posted about it before but I am lazy also, so I understand you do not want to go searching for it. I don't either so here is the info.
This picture makes it look black and white but it is actually black and tan.

Someone wanted to know the name of the Kravet fabric we are using for this project.
It is actually a new pattern called Royale-135.....Surf. She is a beaut and we are going to use it for all of the window treatments cause the client LOVES it!!!!! The sofa [the solid tan color] and the chairs [the cream windowpane] are all recovered.
This is an old picture, and I will have more [remember I am starting small today] of the screened in porch.
We painted the ceiling SW 6470 Waterscape and the floors SW Iron Ore.
The floors
Oh mommy.......
Also...here is the floor of the mudroom....
One of my favorite things...the herringbone pattern.
I am working this project aren't I.....:)
Next I will share the colors......but not today. Today I am only riding around the block. With training wheels. In the next few days I will jump on the road bike and it will be on.....like donkey kong.
Happy New Year.
You guys are the bombdigity for reading my blog. I have been terrible about commenting over the holidays but I prepared to use the time I set aside for unpacking to get caught up on that.
After all....I can just let those suitcases sit there until next week. I have done that before.

I am in love with the herringbone carpet. Your project is coming along nicely. Cant wait to see to see it when it is complete. Welcome back.
Sherry- You are SO talented. I can't wait to see what you do in 2012!
What a beautiful color on that ceiling, and the herringbone floor - oh my! Takes my breath away!
Happy New Year!

Oh my!! That is going to be such a beautiful space!! I love the herringbone floor and I can't wait to see everything completed. You did good, the next post will be a piece of cake. ;)

Glad you are back. I missed you! Love those floors (and ceiling) and would love to find a herringbone for a little less.
Loving all these colors. Looking forward to more.
We are planning to
paint the vaulted ceiling
in our master a sky
blue, so loved seeing
the color you used on
your porch!

You've made some beautiful choices here. Can't wait to see the finished house...you are definitely working' it! Thanks for sharing, liz
I like going step by teensy step, so I'm on board. And you would die if you knew how long I've been known to leave a suitcase packed on my bedroom floor. I can't believe my husband hasn't left me.
Everything looks to be going swimmingly, good work lady!
I am cr-crazy about that Iron Ore floor and herringbone tile!! Love!!
Like a pro, don't know what you were worried about! I am madly in love with the herringbone runner, I will use it someday!
Love the flooring, gorgeous!
Really, really gorgeous. Can't wait to see more and hear more details. Thanks for sharing!
Happy New Year!! The herringbone floor in the mudroom is gorgeous too. And, wanted you know that I sewed the Najing I won in your giveway into a tablecloth for Christmas and EVERYBODY, including my husband, loved. Maybe someday it will become pillows but it looks great in my dining room. Thank you!
The dark floors & blue ceiling will open that porch up like nothing else. It already looks larger. Well done!
I want the herringbone tile, in my kitchen and mudroom, heck I'll put that anywhere...lovey! as always, u crack me up....donkey kong....
Love every single thing about that house, especially the herringbone runner and floors (I know I've only mentioned that a thousand times). I haven't gotten back in the saddle yet. My kids are still home from break (!!) and finally go back tomorrow so maybe sanity will be maintained. But maybe not. I've got to get back to blogging - I do miss it. I'm glad you started back - you've inspired me and given me something to aspire to!
Happy to see you back, friend and I could not love that house more if it were my very own! Fabulous job!
I've got the same herringbone in my mudroom! Glad to see you back. Happy New Year!
Its looking so very lovely Sherry. And Im right there with ya trying to get back into the groove of blogging. baby-steps. LOVE your fabric selection and cant wait to see more!!
Oh wow, I could weep over that herringbone mudroom. So awesome.
I love anything herringbone or chevron so my jaw was dropping at the awesomeness of that herringbone floor (like the carpet too!).
I am in love with your color scheme. The Kravet fabric is stunning and the paint ceiling is to die for. Can't wait to see the final result.

Wellcome back Sherry and Happy New Year! Love the herringgbone pattern in the mudroom is that soapstone tile?
I'm moving into the week slowly myself so take your time about getting back on your big girl bike.
Hugs!
Debra
I love your updates no matter how rusty you might be, but hoping you had a great holiday Sherry. Always so inspired by your fabrics and inspirations you put together. That herringbone tile floor is great!!
There she is! Your posts are always missed.
I am with Casey, I could also weep over that stunning herringbone mudroom.
Donkey Kong - Ha! (: Leaving smiling.
oxox, Mon
Love the slate floor. What size are the tiles? My kids are still home so I feel like I am still on vacation....all ends this weekend though.
I love the colors for the porch.
Best...Victoria
I love everything about a blue porch ceiling - the color is perfect, and the herringbone tile...fabulous!! Can't wait to see more...
You crack me up! Welcome back!
Love the floors and the waterscape colour on the ceiling is da bomb! :)
It was me. I wanted to know the name of the fabric. Thank you. I CANNOT wait to see it all together. Beautiful.
Bloggy breaks just happen!! Take 'em when you need them is my motto.
Gorgeous choices!!!

p.s. wear your bike helmet!!
Welcome back, girlie! Once again I am blown away by your talent. That blue ceiling and off-black floor is amazing! Happy 2012!
You crack me up. Your writing is a scream. Now for the house, LOVE it. The porch colors are to die about, and the tile is, well, I'll take it, thank you. Really great, Sherry. Ride on...
I'm enjoying your blog! The slate tile is classic. Your powder room wallpaper (older post) looks great, too. Thanks!
Oh man... GREAT COLORS for the ceiling and the floor of the porch, and they just flow so freakin great with the herringbone floor. I'm lovin that fabric combo too, this is all gonna be sooooo good when it's done.
Cindy
I love the color of the ceiling. :) It gives this tranquil feel if ever that would be the color of your room and you're lying on your bed. :)
love those floors. adore.
So nice to meet you just found your beautiful blog and so happy I did. I have enjoyed looking around and I'm now following you, wonderful to meet new friends. Hope you find a spare minute to visit and follow me sometime if you like. Sending you special wishes for a wonderful New Year I’m looking forward to keeping in touch in 2012.
Always Wendy
I know this post was from years ago, but I LOVE the size/shape of those Slate tiles- I feel like too many you see are too long and narrow and almost look too modern in a herringbone layout- could you share the source for these?!
OBSESSED!
Thank you so much!
