Hello friends......
I writing this from Nantucket. I came up here to help celebrate my neighbors husbands 60th birthday. Any excuse to come back up here right!
Of course if you saw my Instagram post on Wednesday you know that as I was in line for security I realized that I had forgotten my wallet at home and had to Uber back [30 min] get my wallet and Uber back to the airport another 30 min. I wasn't sure I was going to make it but by some miracle I did.
I decided not to stress and I just said to myself if I make it....great and if I didn't then it would not be the end of the world.
I guess it was in the cards for me to be here.
The first night I was here I slept almost 12 hours. That was pretty cool.....
Anyway I am going to share a bedroom that got installed a few weeks back. It is not finished yet but its seen quite the transformation since they moved in....
The beginning....let's quickly take a look at the before.....
There was a textured wallpaper on the walls that had to be removed.
The next step was moving this bed in that was in an apartment up in Philadelphia that she acquired.
The next phase were the custom window treatments and pillows.
This is a before picture of the window area across from the bed.
And these are 2 chairs that she also inherited!
Of course it is not accessorized yet but it will be soon.....
I have picked out some pretty lamps and then I need a few trinkets to bring it all together....
So there you have it. Honestly work is a pretty good distraction for me but my brain is definitely not a full capacity. I am easily distracted and find that I am procrastinating on things that I need to be doing.
Ugh.
I heard a simple saying the other day. Time takes time. Duh right! I mean it is so simple.
Hope you guys all have a great weekend....
Thanks so much for reading and hanging in there with me.

I really need some narrow night tables like those, please share source if you can.
Any morning that one of your posts pops up in my inbox is a good day. Even at partial brain, you are a decorating genius. That wallpaper made an amazing change. The layering, the whole picture. Charming.
Little by little, moment by moment.
I am not a big fan of wallpaper until now...it's beautiful, and the floral pillows add that pop of happiness. Great guest room!
Perfect! Perfect! Perfect! It's always a good day when your post pops up. Hang in there.
Little by little! You are doing a great job!
What a great room for drastic before and after.
Could you please share the pattern name/number? I would love to see its other color ways.
Enjoy your weekend in a lovely area. R & R
Hope your sister’s family is ok.
Beautiful as always! One day at a time!
Always look forward to a post from you; both for the design content and just to know that you are hanging in there.
Lovely room, and the colorful pillows are the unexpected touch of joy.
Please do share the manufacturer for the end tables. I am in search of small white ones also.
Take care,

Lovely to have you back, working your lovely magic. But happier still that you are feeling something akin to better. Be good to yourself, and the rest will follow.
Sherry, I wanted to wait to write, but am very distressed to here the nightmare you went through and am at a loss for words. I worked as a cancer nurse for 10 years in acute care in the hospital. one of the things I and my fellow nurses prided ourselves on was a peaceful death. With dilaudid drips, Ativan for anxiety, morphine ---there was no reason we couldn't keep someone comfortable. the Ativan helped with the anxiety related to air hunger and the dilaudid administered in a slow steady drip helped with the pain but the pt was not put out by the drugs, just kept as comfortable as possible. She was a born fighter all her life, Look what she accomplished. I wonder if she didn't want to leave you all, sometimes families would stay and stay and soon after they left, the pt would die.It is very hard letting go, for everyone. God bless you. sz
You are an amazing soul, Sherry. Just wanted to let you know that, even though I have never met you! This comes thru in all of your work and your personal way of writing...you drew me in long ago! I am a fellow designer in Charlotte, and have followed you for a long, long time. What an inspiration you are!!
