Y'all I have a little news to share today. I was afraid to speak about it cause....I wanted to make sure I wouldn't end up with egg on my face....literally..... because with WW you eat a lot of eggs and I'm already sick of them but that is a whole other story.
Back in February I flew up to NYC with Michael Ladisic [Ladisic Fine Homes] to meet with the team at House Beautiful.....
Yes..... let that sink in a minute.
You know...just a National Design Magazine
Instead of doing a Kitchen of the Year they are doing a whole house and picked Atlanta and then Michael to build it. And he just kind of slid me in.
I'm such a goober....I didn't see anyone else taking pictures of their name tag:)
We had a tour of the Hearst Building.....
We were at the very top here....
Agenda....
It was an epic day for sure....there we were..... and across the table...... Sophie Donelson [the editor] and her team. Lord I couldn't even speak....which will surprise all of my friends:)
"The Whole Home Project Concept House celebrates living with wellness and technology. From a kitchen designed to make you healthier, to an entryway and garage organized to eliminate clutter and promote calmness, to every space around and in-between"
So excited to be a part of the team....but then amongst all the chatter I heard the word "color". **sound of scratching record**
Huh? Do they know me? Cause....
But in all honesty why am I surprised? HB is known for their colorful pages. I started to sweat...."Sherry can you do color?" Um of course I can "color is my middle name....I was raised on color....I eat sleep breath color"
Clearing my throat.....meekly.....sure.
Fast forward to my first [key word here] go around with the bedroom.
Blush and blue gray....This is color to me:) Apparently not to HB.
And then the family room....
I fell hard for these colors in this Thibaut fabric!
It was a beat down....but hey in all honesty to a person who has white floors and white walls this IS color....hee haw.
And to be totally transparent....they did like it....at least that is what they told me.....[snickering in the background] but just not enough color. So I said "do you mean like yellows, gold, teal, corals?"
Uh huh....yep that IS what they meant. HB does not play when you are talking color......now I was sweating. It's like a person who does recreational drugs compared to someone who is a full blown addict.

So you can see I will have to think outside my neutral box to get this job done. I think an interventionist or a hypnotist might be on the horizon.
Oh yes and speaking of Weight Watchers.....I'm hungry y'all. I want some butter. I'm tired of eggs...bacon....and fruit. There is a lot of food planning involved. I asked my sister how long we have to do this and she said.....what do you mean....it's forever.
FOREVER....What? Not too sure about that. We need to talk.
