You guys......I really wish I could send a little package full of black and white goodies to everyone......but the person who came up randomly was Camille from The Vintique Object.
She has a wonderful blog and is lucky enough to reside in San Francisco.......lucky girl!!!
I hope she can work some magic with her box of goodness......
Sorry it took me so long but last week was a tough one. Very long story....to short.....one of my smoochie muffins is sick. They thought cancer but it turned out to be a fungus called Aspergillus. It is very rare.....and is often fatal.
Still waiting for the labs to return for the exact diagnosis, but the vet is pretty positive.
Can I just say how sad and bummed out I am?
So I am trying to stay positive and get on with life.....
How cute is she......
Anyway........back to decorating. I need something to distract me.
My sister has decided that the best way to get over triple bypass surgery is to redecorate her house.
I could not agree more. AND...the fact that it has been about 8 years since doing anything to these two rooms.
I am going to get out there for some before shots but here is a little plan we started with.
See that small houndstooth? Recover sofa. No skirt. Nailheads. Black and white Riad....curtains. Paint the whole room white.....
She has bead board trim with a shelf so wouldn't the raffia look good above it? Layered with black frames and such....
Then we saw this light fixture on Shades of Light....
Um...hello.....in brass or silver. Want...Want....Want....
You guys better not go and order it so it goes out of stock. I will kick some blogger butt people.
Remember, I am already mad at the world right now...:)
She quickly ripped up the pale green PLUSH carpet and had hardwoods installed before her husband could react. I told her to just keep playing the "open heart surgery" card...
I believe she can get some good milage out of that one......
Hope you are not stuck in the laundry room all day.....how in God's name does that basket get so full.
And there is only 2 of us.
Sherry Berry.....my Dad's nickname for me :)

I'm so sorry to hear that your dog is so sick. I know how distressed you must be. I hope that the test for that fungus comes back negative! You are being such a good sister to help redecorate your sisters home. I know y'all will have fun doing that and she will appreciate your expertise. Looking forward to seeing it!
So glad to hear that your pup can get fixed, but sorry she is sick. I am dying over the fabrics and color choices, right up my ally. Can't wait to see what all you do, love your style and design aesthetics. Doing laundry in cold rainy California, Yes it is like a winter day here today. So staying in with the laundry! Kathysue

Yay for Camille - and your sister for her exciting project! Love what you are doing!!! (((hugs))) to you and I'm hoping and praying for your sweet fur baby!!
Oh Sherry I will keep my fingers cross for your pup. Please keep us posted. A cutie indeed. xo
I am so sorry to hear about your pup, it is always hard when our furry companios are sick. I had a week like that myself. My dog has Cushings Disease and we have it under control with meds, but she continues to have problems that stem from that. This week it was pancreatitis.
I hope that your pup is better soon, and your sister too! I love your ideas for redoing the spaces.
Have a great weekend!

Sorry to hear about your pup, she's a cutie. I know how difficult it is to go through that - we dealt with cancer twice with our pup and are now recovering from a recent knee surgery in him. Oh the things you'll do for your pups! I'll be praying that all will turn out positive and happy for yours :)
I am praying for your adorable fur baby. Sending good vibes your way. Love the direction you are going for your sister's home. Beautiful selections as always! xo
Wishing a speedy recovery for your sweetie pooch, Sherry. So glad it's not cancer and that it might be treatable?
Your design for your sister's place is awesome. Loving the blue and green, and of course the black and white -- my fave. I really can't believe my luck with the win! Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have the best giveaways, Sherry!
Camille
So sorry to hear about your fur baby. I would feel exactly the same. I've been reading your blog for sometime, and just love it!
I'm so sorry about your sweet little muffin head... (sorry, i talk like that when it comes to dogs) look at her little tummy that needs to be rubbed... poor thing, i hope she can beat this weird thing she has!
and that is so crazy awesome that your sister is feeling good enough to use her surgery to manipulate her husband into decorating and new floors ...
when i read about her surgery i was shascared too!

I am so sad to hear about your lovely little pooch. She is adorable. My old children were four-legged ones and I understand what you are going through. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Keep hugging each other. Helps you both.

Your pup is so adorable I hope everything turns out to be okay. And redecorating for your sister sounds like a fun project - she's either the easiest or toughest client you'll ever have right?

I'm so sorry about your baby - that is so stressful. Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your smoochie. Okay, I have loved that light fixture for some time. I even took a photo of it with my phone from House & Home magazine so I could have it with me at all times. Of course, your sister's room will look sha-fabulous!
Oh, I'm so happy to hear that it isn't cancer, and I hope she has a quick recovery.
You are a good sister! Can't wait to see it all finished.
I'm so sad for your baby dog! I hope she still has some perkiness left. It is so sad when they just lay around! What a fantastic project to do with your sister. It will certainly help her to feel better soon! Have fun!

im so sorry to hear about your doggie! We just went through a bunch of blood test & crazy vet bills on our Westie. turns out she likes eating old-nasty-stale meat and got salmonella poisoning.
And I totally just got chills seeing your fabric inspirations- oh wow is that place gonna be gorge!!
I'm sorry about your dog. She is adorable!
I love the colors for your sister's room.
Saying prayers for the healing of your precious pup, Muffin!!! So difficult
when our fur babies are under the weather!
Love the fabric inspirations!!
God bless!
